Anders Borg's desire to lower the student grant to instead increase the loan part is a fair proposal. Sofia Jeppsson, a member of it, thinks so conservative student association Ateneum. She writes that it is:
“…/…in effect an attempt to ensure that those who educate themselves at other people's expense share the fruits of their education.”
A reduced contribution screens out those students who are particularly motivated. The study aid should not in itself be an incentive for higher studies. Better if the students borrow more.
That's how you can reason. One could also argue that it is good that a welfare state tries to counteract social recruitment bias and that Sweden cannot afford to increase the financial threshold for higher studies. If you believe in a strong welfare state, unlike the right.
