Along with the demand for return of tuition fees for college students who had been infringed on their class due to the Corona 19 incident, the Democratic Party reportedly decided that it would be difficult to return tuition fees directly to students through national finance.

"It is not a way to pay money directly to students," said a Democratic member of the National Assembly's Board of Education.

Next, he emphasized that the school and the students should solve the problem first, and said, "However, if the school is actively returning the tuition, it is the position to provide financial support for the school if necessary." He said he will be reviewing whether it will be reviewed.

Originally, the government decided to discuss financial measures including forming a consensus on the necessity of discussing the tuition preservation plan and reflecting it in the third round, but the government and the Blue House have been struggling with financial difficulties.

In particular, the government has maintained its negative position on cash aid by expressing the opinion that South Korean economic vice minister Hong Nam-ki said, "It is not appropriate to cover the government's finances with the return of tuition fees."

It is said that the Democratic Party continues to discuss the indirect support measures, such as expanding the target of national scholarships instead of cash aid.

However, opposition parties such as the Mirae United Party are reviewing the cash support plan through the third round, which is likely to be reflected in the full-scale review process.

The United Nations is considering ways to support low-income students by reflecting the budget related to the return of college tuition.

In addition, the Justice Party is in a position to support 88,000 won to the National University students and 12.1 million won to the private university students with a total increase of 900 million won and a university burden of 900 billion won.

The Open Democratic Party is also demanding that the supplementation be increased to support 200,000 won per college student.
