Via: Asahi Shimbun:
The government plans to make university tuition free to households with three or more children starting from fiscal 2025, with no income limit.
The aim is to make it easier for families to have more children by reducing the burden of educational expenses.
As part of unprecedented measures to tackle the declining birthrate, the government will incorporate the initiative into the package dubbed the Children’s Future Strategy Policy. It is expected to be decided at a Cabinet meeting by the end of this month.
The government plans to include not only university students, but also those in junior colleges and technical colleges.
