That can be done without compromising the right to a higher education of any qualifying student, for instance through some variant of the Australian plan which provides loans to students, which they repay as they enter the labor force and begin to earn. In the past Israeli students have strongly objected to any significant rise in tuition. That is understandable.
But significantly higher tuition payments are needed to enable the universities to attract the faculty they need and to continue to contribute to advancing Israel's technological progress and prowess. In concluding, I must apologize for making so utilitarian an argument for strengthening the universities.
