All German Universities Now Free

[Luddly Neddite]

All German universities will be free of charge when term starts next week. If Germany can invest their taxes in their own future, why can't we?

Its our Declaration of Independence that states, "The pursuit of happiness" is an "inalienable right" but our taxes go to pay for a bloated military.

What percentage of the German population is eligible to attend a University, Puddly Pillowbite? How does that compare and contrast to the percentage of Americans accepted into colleges and universities?

 

[Skull Pilot]

You still think government programs are free?

 

[JakeStarkey]

Government is for service to citizens.

Corporations are for profit.

Citizens and corporations can be taxed.

Free college education is a good thing for the country, for the corporations, for the citizens.

Except it is not economically feasible in a country involved in perpetual war.

then end the war and bring our troops home

After WWII, other countries made the very conscious decision to invest in their own countries, their own people, their own future. They invested in medical care and education.

If you're old enough, you remember when Japan and China were known for making junk and the US was known for making quality goods. Now we buy from China and India and other countries. We import our talent and make it impossible for our own people to get an education.

Maybe its time we changed our priorities because, as it is now, we are well on our way to becoming a third world country with lots and lots of ships sitting around rusting.

US already pays for University education: Student Low interest Loans.

Germany tests all students at age 14. Pass you go into a Pre University Program. Fail, you go to Trade School.

You want to try that in the USA......good luck.

Oh and by the way, no Affirmative Action.

It looks likely that Germany will be just as popular a destination for US students as other European countries.

How Much Does it Cost to Study in Germany Top Universities

In spring 2014, Lower Saxony will be the last of Germany’s 16 states (known as Länder) to abolish tuition fees for undergraduate students at public universities. Both national and international undergraduate students at public universities in Germany will get free tuition from next year, and will only need to pay a small sum towards administration and other costs per semester (there are two per year).

These low charges certainly help to make Germany attractive as a study destination, with recent figures showing it to be the fourth most popular country for international students (after the US, UK and Australia). And a recent HSBC report puts Germany at the bottom of a table of 13 countries in terms of the cost of studying abroad, with an average cost of just US$6,285 (€4,564) per year, breaking down to US$635 (€461) for fees and US$5,650 (€4,103) for living costs.

Of course these are just averages – the amount it costs to study in Germany depends on variables such as your level of study and how long your course lasts, whether your university is private or public, and which German state you will study in. Read on for more detailed information…

Just as President Obama said (and jackass Santorum called snobbery), everyone should have the opportunity for APPROPRIATE education.

Which gets us right to the heart of the matter: you want government to dictate what is APPROPRIATE education. So do the Germans.

You're avoiding the point.

{In order to enter university, students are, as a rule, required to have passed the Abitur examination; since 2009, however, those with a Meisterbrief (master craftsman's diploma) have also been able to apply.[5][6] Those wishing to attend a "university of applied sciences" must, as a rule, have Abitur,Fachhochschulreife, or a Meisterbrief. Lacking those qualifications, pupils are eligible to enter a university or university of applied sciences if they can present additional proof that they will be able to keep up with their fellow students through a Begabtenprüfung or Hochbegabtenstudium (which is a test confirming excellence and above average intellectual ability).}

Education in Germany - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

In fact, less than 3% of applications are accepted. The "Begabtenprüfung" must be passed to gain admittance - it is a grueling test designed to weed out all but the top. For most of the post war history, the goal was to isolate the top 1% of students, though in recent years it has been tuned to allow the top 3%

Oh, and German Universities have been free for decades, so it's hard to understand why you (or rather the hate site thinking for you) decided to spew this shit today?

What on earth are you babbling about.

If you cannot answer the question: What percentage of the German population is eligible to attend a University?

I'll do it for you: Not nearly as large a proportion as in the USA.

Next.
