Article "Hardships of Lithuania's higher education: free but not for all"
I agree:
· Studying is not equally accessible to everyone, as some students choose the profession they can afford, not the one they naturally incline towards.
· In Lithuania works principle 'your colleague's misfortune is your success'.
· A future musician must pay 20 thousand litas (5,8 thousand euros) per year, a physics student, 9 thousand, and a law student, 3 thousand, even though the one with a music degree is least likely to get a well-paid job.
I disagree:
· The professors suggest an audit be carried out to determine how many secondary school students, qualified for further studies, graduate each year.
· If bright students find themselves in the same room with the less able ones, the quality goes down.
