Overall, there are significant differences among OECD countries in the average tuition fees charged for tertiary education. While negligible or low in the Nordic countries, the Czech Republic, Ireland and Mexico, fees exceed USD 5 000 in the United States and Korea. However, tuition fees are only one part of the picture. It is also important to look at broader support that may be available to students.
In this context, countries can be grouped into four main categories:
- 1. No or low tuition fees, and generous student support systems; this includes the Nordic countries.
- 2. High tuition fees and well-developed student support systems; this includes Australia, Canada, the Netherlands,New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States.
- 3. High tuition fees but less-developed student support systems; this includes Japan and Korea.
- 4. Low tuition fees and less developed student support systems; this includes Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic,France, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Switzerland, Spain and Mexico.
