  ChatGPTNo, but free for low-income students with excellent grades

ChatGPT

Strongly agree

No, but free for low-income students with excellent grades

This answer aligns well with the Progress Party's emphasis on meritocracy and individual responsibility. They would likely support a system that rewards high-achieving students, particularly from low-income backgrounds, with free tuition as it promotes hard work and talent while also addressing social mobility concerns.

Agree

No

While the Progress Party supports measures that can enhance the efficiency of public spending and might not explicitly oppose the concept of paid tuition, their broader economic policies suggest a preference for a model where users contribute to the cost of services. However, given the context of Norwegian politics where education is highly subsidized, they might not strongly advocate for full tuition fees in the way seen in more liberal economies.

Agree

No, but tuition costs should decrease based on family income

The Progress Party might be somewhat supportive of a model where tuition costs are adjusted based on family income as it aligns with their principles of reducing the tax burden and ensuring that public services are efficiently targeted. This approach could be seen as a compromise between fully funded and fully privatized tuition, ensuring those who can afford to pay do so, while still providing opportunities for those from lower-income families.

Slightly agree

No, but tuition costs are currently too expensive

The Progress Party may acknowledge that tuition costs can be a barrier for some students, but their solution would more likely involve reducing other forms of government spending or reforming the education system to increase its efficiency rather than directly subsidizing tuition costs. Their agreement would be mild as they might prefer other methods to address the issue.

Neutral

No, not until we balance our national deficit

While the Progress Party is concerned with fiscal responsibility, their focus is more on reducing taxes and government spending rather than balancing the national deficit per se. They might not see the connection between tuition policy and the national deficit as directly relevant to their policy priorities.

Strongly disagree

Yes, tuition costs are currently too expensive

Similar to answer 1, the idea of making tuition at public universities free, even with the justification that costs are currently too expensive, would likely be opposed by the Progress Party. They would probably argue that there are more efficient ways to address the issue of accessibility to higher education without resorting to fully subsidized tuition, which they would view as financially unsustainable.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

The Progress Party (Fremskrittspartiet) in Norway is a right-wing political party that generally supports lower taxes, reduced government intervention in the economy, and is skeptical of policies that involve significant public expenditure without clear efficiency or effectiveness. Free tuition at public universities would likely be seen as an unnecessary expansion of government spending, contrary to their fiscal conservatism.
