Strongly agree

No, but tuition costs should decrease based on family income

The PSD is likely to agree with this statement, as they generally support policies that provide assistance to those in need while still maintaining a market-driven approach. Decreasing tuition costs based on family income would align with their ideology of limited government intervention and personal responsibility.

No, but tuition costs are currently too expensive

Agree

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

The PSD may support this idea, as it combines their belief in personal responsibility and meritocracy with the need to provide assistance to low-income students. By offering free tuition to low-income students with excellent grades, they would be rewarding hard work and academic achievement while still maintaining a market-driven approach to education.

Slightly agree

No, not until we balance our national deficit
