Maybe a bronze. I went to a technical college in Canada (as a permanent resident), so by no means very expensive, but it’s taken me over decade to pay off.
It’s not a graduate tax. If it was a graduate tax, all graduates, especially the ones that graduated before the turn of the century, who have the greatest salary uplift compared to their peers, would pay it.
No, uni education is very not free in the UK, and you pay for it with a student loan, and yes, you pay according to a salary threshold like it was a tax, and yes, outstanding debt is cancelled aver 30 years, but the interest rate got hiked by the Conservatives to prevent most ex students from paying it off early. Much better than the USA, but still very not free at all.
Asterisk on Canada’s not free post secondary
The majority of the cost is paid for citizens so it’s still better than the US

I don’t think it medals but we aren’t tied with them
Same with the UK on this. Anyone attending university gets a graduate tax. Works quite well but it’s not free
*England, Wales and Northern Ireland. University education is free in Scotland.
