Free education refers to education that is funded through taxation or charitable organizations rather than tuition funding.

Primary school and other comprehensive or compulsory education is free in many countries, for example, and all education is mostly free (often not including books (from primary) and a number of administrative and sundry fees in university) including post-graduate studies in the Nordic countries.

The Article 13 of International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights ensures the right to free education at primary education and progressive introduction of it at secondary and higher education as the right to education.

From 2013 in Northern Europe, Estonia started providing free higher education as well.

In Argentina, Norway and Finland, no fees apply for foreign students enrolling at a university, although they may not be eligible for a monthly study allowance and loan.

Bachelor's degree programmes in Norway are solely taught in Norwegian.

Master's degree programmes in Norway are offered in either Norwegian or English depending on the programme and/or university.

Denmark also has universal free education, and provides a monthly stipend, the "Statens Uddannelsesstøtte" or "SU", to students over 18 years of age or students who are under 18 and attending a higher education.

Bachelor and master's degree programmes in Denmark are offered in either Danish or English depending on the programme and/or university.

Tuition payments, usually known as tuition in American English and as tuition fees in Commonwealth English, are fees charged by education institutions for instruction or other services.

In most 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.
