Acquiring knowledge is a right that everyone should have access to. In Germany, they hold the belief that it shouldn't be commercialised, and because of this, in 2014, the government made all academic programmes at public institutions free. This was done to guarantee educational equity as well as stimulate economic development. Additionally, international students are not required to pay tuition fees, thus making the country an attractive option for studying abroad. Furthermore, immigration processes are hassle-free for foreign students too.
