A love letter to Swiss Education
I come from a modest background. We had a lovely life and my parents have always been brillant and smart in creating a lifestyle where we always had access to what we needed, including a higher education.
Part of this was made possible because in Switzerland tuition fees for a Bachelor or a Master are really affordable, not matter what's you financial situation.
Imagine this! A family who comes from a modest background could give to all its kids the possibility to do bachelors and masters in some of the best universities of Switzerland! And all of this without a cent of debt!
Imagine coming out of higher education, packed with a ton of life and professional skills and you have no debt holding you back?
When I tell this to my friends from other countries like the states they say this a dream that will never be a reality.
But that's a reality that happens everyday in Switzerland.
So I'm extremely proud to see that the HSLU, Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, many other universities and students group stand up to protect this beautiful difference that Switzerland has when some want to double the tuition fees of Swiss universities.
Let's give to the next generation the same chances we had!
