The government proposes to waive tuition fees for students and doctoral students in public higher education institutions, in fields with a state subsidy. 

This would facilitate access to higher education regardless of social and financial status and would also help demographic policy. Due to the large difference in fees for different universities, the territorial distribution of students is uneven.

The measure will take effect this academic year.
