minus-squarestoy@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·7 months agoSwede here, this change takes place in the early school years, not university. I never had to pay for any textbook in school, apart from when I attended trade school to learn IT. All textbooks used in year 1 through 12 was issued on loan to the student, and didn’t cost anything apart from when I had to replace one I missplaced.
