Internships abroad without salary or expenses paid

Yes, it sounds "crazy", but it is the complaint that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for offering your students Internship abroad without assuming their corresponding salaries or other expenses. According to these students, "Only those students whose parents can afford to pay all their expenses abroad are eligible for a quality education".

These students of the last courses in International Relations, Law and Economics or Political Science who want to apply for these positions, have had to read in said offer the following: "It is recalled that applicants attend these practices in the usual terms: on an unpaid basis and assuming their accommodation and living expenses, as well as medical insurance during their stay."

Obviously, the Foreign Ministry has attributed to the lack of budget not being able to pay these expenses, as other governments could take over in previous years.

Some careers have as external internships a total of 300 hours that the student must comply with. However, in others, that number of hours has increased, from 300 to 500.

Each day that passes we are offered less public education and public education (forgive the redundancy). What differences still exist between private and public universities? The price per credit rises in all universities, there are fewer and fewer scholarships (Wert granted 258 million less in scholarships during his term), the program is abolished Erasmus + that granted 100 euros more to the best students, there are fewer teachers and they are not replaced in their withdrawals, etc. Endless points that make you reflect on the future of Spanish education and who will have access to quality training ... Will we have to save a fortune to be able to pay our children tomorrow for a career in a public university as is currently the case with private education?
