    That’s a fair point, especially about the low income areas which is definitely also a big issue here in Germany.

      Sure, but that’s kind of what Bafög is for. Sure that’s also a loan, but one with very favourable terms.

        Doesn’t really help if you never make it to uni because your parents weren’t able and/or willing to help you out with schoolwork and couldn’t afford/didn’t care to get someone else to help you.

        Bildungsferne is, sadly, often passed along from parents to children.
