Anti-Am Posted June 13, 2012 Report Posted June 13, 2012 Is tuition even necessary when in the end they make 50-100 + grand off each student? Quote
Canuckistani Posted June 13, 2012 Report Posted June 13, 2012 Look at Germany. Post secondary education is free. But, kids are streamed at an early age (grade 5) and have to demonstrate an aptitude for the stream they enter. Uni there is serious business for serious people, no survey courses and jumping around from major to major. The disadvantage is that late bloomers get left out and never really have an opportunity.

Canuckistani Posted June 13, 2012 Report Posted June 13, 2012 All post-secondary education? I believe so for undergraduate degrees at least. Quote
g_bambino Posted June 13, 2012 Report Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) I believe so for undergraduate degrees at least. Well, I was specifically wondering if the costs for internships, apprenticeships, colleges (technical and otherwise), and the like (basically, anything that isn't university) were all covered.

[ed.: +] Apprenticeships and technical colleges are the best in the world. Apprenticeships, by definition are paid. I don't have an immediate link, but I would be very surprised if Germany offered uni for free (including for foreigners) but not technical training. Quote

I highly doubt any nation would offer free university to foreigners. Otherwise all of Europe would be knocking on their door. Quote Hope for the Best, Prepare for the Worst
