Here's an example I know of:
* Education. From what I have heard, students in the UK have to pay
huge sums to be admitted to their universities. In Belgium, it's
much lower (e.g. € 1000 a year(*)), AFAIK it's independent of
the ‘status’ of the university and some arrangements are made
for people that cannot afford the normal tarif.
IIUC, the relatively low tarif is mostly thanks to government
funding and the (public) universities not being for-profits.
I think I prefer the government funding here above the seemingly
non-existent private benefactors.
(*) with some caveats, e.g. depends on the number of ‘studiepunten’
(ECTS) and IIUC there if you fail too much the university can refuse
to admit you or demand a higher tarif.
Greetings,
Maxime.
