Summary
In the Government Bill "Competing on the basis of quality - tuition fees for foreign students" (Govt. Bill 2009/10:65) the Government proposes that higher education be free of charge for Swedish citizens and citizens of an EU/EEA state or Switzerland. Moreover, the Government considers that citizens from other countries - third country students - should pay a fee for their higher education as of the autumn term 2011. The Government wants Swedish higher education institutions to compete on the basis of quality, not on the basis of a free education.
