University students face increased fees

The Government has put forward that University fees will cost up to 540 € more from the next course, with students having to pay about 25% of the real university prices. Exactly what is charged will be decided by each autonomous regions. Current the students pay an average of 17% of the cost and the State meets the 83% which remains. Those who have to repeat a second course will have to find between 30% and 40%, a 3rd will cost between 65% and 75% and between 90% and 100% for a fourth. The Minister for Education, Culture and Sport, José Ingacio Wert, has also called for a more efficient labour in research from the professors, claiming that there is a high percentage being paid for research without carrying it out. One of the ideas being muted to solve this would be to give more class time to those professors who do no investigation or reduce their wages accordingly.
