Application and Tuition fees for International Students are NOT welcome
|
|
 |
|
In recent times, the press has carried reports about alleged proposals to introduce tuition fees
and application charges on International Students intending to study in Norwegian Universities.
This has been mainly due to the fact that, Sweden has introduced tuition fees for international
students from 2011; a development to which the Vice-Chairman of the Swedish Student Union,
Sveriges förenade studentkårer (SFS), Robin Moberg, stated the following, "We are upset. This
is a step backwards for welfare, and it also dents the viewpoint that Scandinavia consists of
knowledge nations where every person has the same opportunities and rights to educate
themselves".
|
|
The International Students’ Union therefore calls on all Student Organisations,
Partners and stake holders to support them to strongly oppose this move without compromise.
