Agree

Slightly agree

Yes, but only for citizens

While the EPP supports policies that benefit citizens, the party's market-oriented approach might lead it to view universal access to free education for all citizens as financially impractical. However, it might see some merit in targeting benefits to citizens to prioritize national interests.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only for students studying in fields of high job demand

The EPP might see the merit in focusing resources on fields of high job demand as a way to boost economic competitiveness and employability of graduates. However, this approach could be viewed as too narrow and potentially limiting to the broader educational and cultural benefits of a diverse higher education system.

Neutral

Yes, and replace it with a graduate tax

The concept of a graduate tax as a replacement for tuition fees might be seen by the EPP as an innovative approach to funding higher education, but it could also raise concerns about the long-term economic implications and the potential deterrent effect on prospective students.

Disagree

Yes

The European People’s Party (EPP) generally supports market-oriented economic policies and might view the complete abolition of university tuition fees as financially unsustainable and potentially detrimental to the quality of higher education. Historically, the EPP has favored policies that encourage private sector involvement in education rather than fully state-funded models.
