Raging debate - Should Hong Kong charge higher fees for more expensive university courses like medicine?

The average cost of nurturing an undergraduate student each year at public universities in Hong Kong has soared by 42 per cent over a decade, with each medical student costing as much as HK$578,000 (US$74,000) per year.

The unit cost for medical and dental students is more than double that for those studying non-laboratory disciplines such as business, language, education and the social sciences.
