University education in China is not free, they have tuition costs as well.

Sorry, I must have wrong information :( .

I'm 100% sure we don't have tuition here in Uruguay, and poorer students get state help.

However, five years after you graduate, you have to pay a mandatory special "university graduate tax" called "Fondo de Solidaridad" which helps pay for the poorer students, etc., so I guess it is a form of debt :) .

It's about U$ 200 every six months currently.

Is that $200 ever six months in perpetuity or does it stop at some point?
