To what extent will tuition be free? Should university be free of charge? Approximately 85% of respondents were in favor of making the program free of charge, including those who answered, “It should be free,” and “I somewhat agree: It should be free under certain conditions.” Some are concerned about a “deterioration in the quality of education.”

If university were made completely free and everything was free, I think people who have no desire to study would end up wasting their student lives.
I rather disagree: it should not be free for all but a small number of students. (Agree-Disagree) 3.8%
I think it's fine for some students to have free education up to junior high school, but I think the quality of education will decline if it is free for high school students and above.
Against: Should not be made free of charge. 9.4%
I believe that it is the duty of parents to pay their children's school fees until compulsory education. I think if we make it free, the value of attending school will be lost.
Neutral: Since there is a balance with the national budget, we would like to carefully consider this after obtaining detailed information. 1.9%
There is a scholarship system, so I don't think there is a need to be so particular about making it completely free, but if the percentage of students who are unable to go to school due to financial issues is going to increase in the future, I think it should be considered.
