Tuition fees for undergraduate and postgraduate students at state universities are to be abolished this academic year, according to amendments to the Higher Education Act proposed by the government. The idea is both to improve access to higher education for students and to make state universities more attractive to prospective students who are hesitant about continuing their education and life abroad or in Bulgaria. With the abolition of tuition fees, the corresponding tuition costs will be covered by the state.
