What is the total cost of education in your country? I.e., amount paid by student + amount paid by govt?

I suspect the answer will be similar to the US, but scaled down a bit since high skill labor is much cheaper in Europe.

In my country it's 0 cost for the student. Apparently the average cost the government pays per year per student is around ~3000 USD. Medical students cost our government ~7000 USD per year.

And as far as I know, professors are still very well paid, so I still fail to see why would the education in the US cost so much money.
