However, in Finland public education on all levels is free--there are no tuitions whatsoever. And as far as I know there has never been any talk regarding the introduction of pay-to-go-to-school system that for instance the US have. The point is that in Finland students get paid by the state for going to school. And I don't think politicians in Slovenia wanted to pay students to go to school ... otherwise the public outcry wouldn't be so strong, or there would probably be none at all. Again, what I would like to find out (and eventually will) is how did Finnish leaders come up with the idea that they would pay people to get the education. That's what I want to know.

There has been talk in Slovenia about establishing a tuition system for Slovenian faculties for some time. It would be interesting to know how the Finnish system got set up and why does it work so well (or does it?). That would be very interesting.
