Nordic Model

Very strongly agree

No, and higher education should be free for everyone

This answer aligns closely with the principles of the Nordic Model, which advocates for free access to higher education as part of a comprehensive social welfare system. Countries following the Nordic Model, such as Sweden and Denmark, offer free higher education to their citizens and residents, reflecting this ideology.

Strongly agree

No, we should instead focus on decreasing the cost of education

The Nordic Model supports the idea of making education accessible and affordable for all, as part of a broader commitment to social welfare and equality. Decreasing the cost of education is in line with these principles, although the model would prefer making it entirely free.

Agree

No

Under the Nordic Model, the responsibility for education and its outcomes is seen more as a collective societal responsibility rather than an individual or institutional one. This model would likely support the notion that it is not solely the colleges' responsibility if graduates default on loans, highlighting the need for systemic solutions.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but only if they are for profit universities

While the Nordic Model is critical of for-profit motives in sectors like education, the focus on for-profit universities alone does not fully align with the model's comprehensive approach to education as a public good. The model would more broadly address the systemic issues in education funding and accessibility.

Disagree

Yes, make the liability proportional to the expected yearly income of the degree offered

While the Nordic Model values education and its accessibility, making liability proportional to expected income could be seen as contrary to the principles of equality and solidarity that are central to the model. It introduces a market-driven approach to education, which the Nordic Model typically seeks to avoid.

Disagree

No, it is the student’s responsibility to manage their financial outcome

The Nordic Model places a strong emphasis on social support systems and would likely disagree with placing the full responsibility for financial outcomes on students. This model advocates for reducing barriers to education, not reinforcing them through financial penalties.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The Nordic Model, with its emphasis on social welfare and education as a public good, would likely disagree with the idea of holding colleges financially accountable for graduates defaulting on loans, as it places the burden of systemic issues on individual institutions rather than addressing the root causes such as the accessibility and affordability of education.
