Strongly agree
Yes, but only for citizens
The SNP has abolished tuition fees for Scottish and EU students studying in Scotland, which is a policy that benefits citizens. However, their policy does not extend to non-EU international students, who still have to pay tuition fees. This suggests that they might agree with this option, but not as strongly as with the complete abolition of tuition fees.

Agree
Yes, but only for low income families
The SNP's policy of free higher education for Scottish and EU students does not specifically target low-income families. However, they might see this option as a step in the right direction, as it would help to alleviate the financial burden on disadvantaged students. Therefore, they might somewhat agree with this option, but not as strongly as with the complete abolition of tuition fees.

Slightly agree
Yes, and replace it with a graduate tax
The SNP has not explicitly advocated for a graduate tax as an alternative to tuition fees. However, they might see it as a more progressive way of funding higher education compared to the current system. Therefore, they might slightly agree with this option, but not as strongly as with the complete abolition of tuition fees.

Slightly disagree
Yes, but only for students studying in fields of high job demand
The SNP's policy of free higher education does not differentiate between fields of study. They might see this option as unnecessarily restrictive and not in line with their commitment to providing equal access to higher education for all. Therefore, they might slightly disagree with this option.

Disagree
No, but they should be reduced
While the SNP might agree that reducing tuition fees is better than maintaining them at their current levels, their primary goal is to abolish them completely. As a result, they would likely disagree with this option, as it does not go far enough in addressing their concerns.
