Financial and competitive challenges to universities in Japan and South Korea have put tuition fee hikes on the horizon.
In the US, skyrocketing tuition fees are a major political issue, with pressure for student loan forgiveness, etc.
So it's interesting to see two East Asian countries having the opposite problem: tuition fees are too LOW, straining university finances and hindering the objective of delivering a good education.
