Minister of Education Sari Sarkomaa says that there are no plans to institute tuition fees for Finnish university students. She notes that free education from preschool through university is part of the government's policy programme.
"Free education is a foundation of the welfare society, and guarantees equal opportunities for all citizens. Free education is also a basis for high-quality teaching and research." Sarkomaa said.
A small country with a big eastern neighbour deciding for itself what it's needs are rather than just blindly following a foreign model, there again it's politicians are elected by it's people to look after their exclusive needs.
