Many of the people can barely make it on the wages they earn as the cost of living + debt has increased incredibly whilst the krona has lost its value to the extent having IsK100,000 doesn´t do much for you, it won´t even cover your bills i.e. rent/mortgage + heating, electricity, and food etc. Many have lost their jobs so the other reasonable thing they can do is go back to school and raising the cost of further education is utterly wrong. For those who are currently in employment and many are barely making it, of course it makes sense if one decides to further their education so when things get better they can reach for a higher goal i.e. better job and with them still working and CONTRIBUTING TO TAXES AND UNEMPLOYMENT FUND which goes to help out the government in paying those out of the job, it is shameful that the government goes and hurriedly votes to increase evening school tuition fee threefolds! Have the government of Iceland totally lost their plot? The people need to get on their feet and fight for their basic human right, affordable education for ALL. Get the government working FOR the PEOPLE and NOT FOR THE PEOPLE WITH MONEY!
