It might be interesting for comparison purposes, but each country has to manage the student budget within the overall Government capacity. A better-off country might fund more, others might be 100% self-funding. I am sure that in some countries the chance to go to University is considered a real privilege, not - as it's become here - an expectation. IMO it has downgraded the degree process (but that's a different discussion).
You'd be better off asking the foreign Universities than the BBC !

How they manage their funding is not quite so important as whether and how they assess the benefits derived from university education.
As I mentioned in response to an earlier question on the student funding issue, I do not believe that any meaningful assessment has been undertaken here. As suggested by boxtops, a university education is now seen as an expectation and a right among large numbers of young people. But many of them have given little thought to what benefit they might gain from a further three years of education and how it might help them with a career. Huge numbers of them (ummmm’s cousin and her husband are a good case in point) end up in jobs where no degree level education is necessary.
It is this aspect of higher education that needs to be looked at urgently.

why should the BBC tell you, even if you ask them?? Who made the BBC the fount of all knowledge about how other countries manage their budgets?
Re the welsh, as far as i know, welsh unis are not free - students who are welsh are going to get their fees paid whether they go to a welsh uni or uni anywhere else in the uk

Yes it is AB brionon, and most of us are glad to discuss, but a) we don't know why you thought the BBC would tell you anyway, they are not in charge of education in the EU, and b) we are already trying to help but most of us wouldn't know for certain either, nor would we need to. As I said before, much is down to Government budgets, and workforce planning.
