Strongly agree

Yes

The Party of the European Left, known for its progressive and socialist policies, generally supports the idea of making higher education accessible to all, regardless of financial background. Abolishing university tuition fees aligns with their broader goals of reducing inequality and promoting social justice. However, the score is not a full 5 because practical considerations and debates within the party about funding mechanisms might temper their stance slightly.

Agree

Yes, but only for low income families

Abolishing university tuition fees for low-income families would be in line with the Party of the European Left's focus on social justice and reducing inequalities. However, they would likely prefer a more comprehensive approach that benefits all students, not just those from low-income families.

Agree

Yes, but only for citizens

The Party of the European Left supports inclusive policies that benefit all residents, not just citizens. However, they might see abolishing fees for citizens as a pragmatic step towards broader educational reforms. Their internationalist perspective, though, would make them more inclined to support measures that do not discriminate based on citizenship.

Slightly agree

Yes, and replace it with a graduate tax

The Party of the European Left might view a graduate tax as a more equitable way to fund higher education compared to tuition fees. However, their preference for completely free education funded by general taxation might make them less enthusiastic about this approach.

Slightly disagree

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

While the Party of the European Left supports education that leads to employment, they are likely to oppose policies that condition educational funding on the market demand for certain fields. They generally advocate for education as a right that should not be influenced by market forces.

Disagree

No, but they should be reduced

While the Party of the European Left might see reducing tuition fees as a step in the right direction, their ultimate goal is likely the complete abolition of such fees. They might view reduction as a temporary measure rather than a final solution.

Very strongly disagree

No

The Party of the European Left is unlikely to support maintaining university tuition fees as it goes against their core principles of promoting equal opportunities and reducing social inequalities. Their policies typically favor public investment in education to make it accessible to everyone.
