BRAZIL
While public higher education remains free, discussion
continues about the introduction of some type of tuition fee for wealthy
students - a proposal that has been vigorously rejected by academics,
students and unions.
CHILE
Average tuition fees rose by 26 per cent at public universities, making it among the most expensive systems in the world.
CHINA
Tuition
was frozen through 2011 at 2006 levels. But user fees have increase and
tuition is expected to rise significantly in 2012.
NETHERLANDS
Students
under 30 pay a statutory tuition fee. Tuition increased slightly in
2011 and is expected to go up to $1,925 in 2012. Last July, a law was
passed requiring students who take longer than an extra year to complete
their studies to pay $3,261 per year.
SWEDEN
Domestic
students pay no fees, but a new rule has students from outside the
European Union paying significant fees of as much as $15,552 per year.
Early estimates suggest new enrolments from outside the EU fell by
nearly 80 per cent.
UNITED KINGDOM
Capped fees at English
and Northern Ireland universities has risen to $14,754, with about 30
per cent of English institutions planning to charge that as the standard
fee in 2012.
UNITED STATES
Tuition fees increased
substantially across all sectors of higher education. There is
considerable variation between states and types of institutions. The
percentage increase in tuition was highest in California (21 per cent)
and lowest in Connecticut and South Carolina (2.5 per cent).
