Improving Incentives in Tertiary Education in Belgium

“…In this context, it should be noted that EU member states are obliged to charge the same tuition fees for all citizens of the EU, but may have a higher tuition fee for non-EU citizens. This differs from the practise in the United States, where tuition fees for resident students are considerably lower than for out-of-state students (Gérard, 2006) 17.

Numéro 54 - septembre 2007

“…Le message central de ce texte, qui relaye des idées déjà développées dans Gérard (2006Gérard ( , 2006a et formalisées dans , est que des alternatives aux quotas existent, et qu'elles sont vraisemblablement plus efficaces et plus équitables. Elles n'impliquent ni le recours à un financement par l'impôt européen ni une augmentation de la contribution privée au coût des études.…”
