Tuition payments

Tuition payments, usually known as tuition in American English[1] and as tuition fees in Commonwealth English,[citation needed] are fees charged by education institutions for instruction or other services. Besides public spending (by governments and other public bodies), private spending via tuition payments are the largest revenue sources for education institutions in some countries. In most developed countries, especially countries in Scandinavia and Continental Europe, there are no or only nominal tuition fees for all forms of education, including university and other higher education.[2]
