Education is one of the fundamental rights of everyone in every country. An average student spends around 34, 740 dollars for his/ her education in a college. This is for the tuition alone. This shows that most poor people can't afford it. The free education given to them will help the economy in the future. They can have formal education and help improve the economy of the country.
What is your perception regarding free education? Comment your views, please!
I believe primary and high school ought to be made free and made compulsory so as to have good and knowledgeable citizenry
In Iraq, education is free. Only those with a low score and those wishing to enter colleges would need to pay large sums of money.
It is necessary that education be free, that everyone has the opportunity to learn, and that non-free education is limited to those who do not have high grades.
A free education means the state paying for good teachers, if not, that free education may turn a second-hand education with poor recognition. I think one of the duties of a state is to ensure a good education for all.
Agree with Joshua O. Ighalo , basic education from grade 1 - 12 should be free , later on the University education is really expensive only hardworking students can avail scholarships and aid of some kind for pursuing higher education .
Then it would happen what's already happening in 'Murica' (USA): an almost unlettered population, not even able to correctly spell the name of their country, raised in second-hand free basic schools nobody cares about, in a country where paying universities reign, all powerful and actively promoting economical class selection.
It is very possible if governments want that
The solution for this problem is by increasing the education budget through :
1- A percentage of net national income should be allocated to support the education budget ...
2- for example, 5% of all the other budgets should be allocated to support the education budget ... at that time the other budgets will not be affected , and the education budget will be doubled or even more ...
3- Businessmen and large companies are encouraged to donate their charity and zakat funds to increase the education budget
Free education for all is a dream I hope will be implemented to improve the reality of human societies for the better and the development of countries and peoples and the advancement of the reality of industry, agriculture and the global economy.
Hi
As many said primary education should be free aft that can charge reasonable bucks via govt. Govt has ti chanallise the money collection and cut down the private people entring in this domain. Then the quality of education will be improved.

Dear Maham Muzamil,
According to international human rights law, primary education shall be compulsory and free of charge. Secondary and higher education shall be made progressivelyfree of charge. Free primary education is fundamental in guaranteeing everyonehas access to education.

Education is supposed to be free. A country with highly educated citizenry is one aims at higher productivity and development. However, I think free education should be given at the basic and secondary levels. I do not think it is feasible at the tertiary level since it is very expensive and involves specialization. Governments could only subsidize fees, but it is unrealistic to make it totally free.
Education should not be free for all. Ideally, education should not be free for those who can pay for it and should be free for those who can’t. For those who can’t, the government should make effective use of the taxes to properly implement education policies and make it free for those needed with help from NGOs who are funded by philanthropists and companies. For those can pay for it, education should be a purely competitive marketplace where the purchasers of educational products and services are well educated about the options that they have, and the products and services which are the best win
Free education for everyone; It is an ideal. Indeed it's a human right. I wish it could be implemented. At least to a certain level the training should be free.
It is necessary that education be free,..at least at the basic level.
Thank you so much to all dear colleagues for their useful responses and participation!!!
I believe all kids deserve equal educational opportunities no matter what gender, Race, Or religion, They are. It can also increase the nation’s educational level.
Also, If you give people a free education and they leave school, They most likely won’t pay off the yearly school fee so than that cause the school to have a big budget problem because of it.
Good discussion.But,I think that education(read+write) became one of the rights of human.The conversation should be about the higher level (computer) if it should be provided for all around the world.
Primary and secondary education should be free.
University education, no.
The Philippines is now providing free tertiary education to all students enrolled in government-run universities and colleges as provided for in its law, Republic Act No. 10931.
It should be implemented as soon as possible if no adverse implication is attached in any way
Education should be low tuition for those, who want to learn; this is factually a matter of value preferences; a lot of people just want to do a job and earn (much) money, after having acquired the basic cultural techniques (ABC, 123, IPhone). Forcing people to getting educated is against the human freedom-of-choice.

My dear RG colleagues, education must be free and free of charge. This is laid down in human rights, which is signed by almost all states in the world. Customization is, incidentally, necessary. Why? Because education in non-Western countries cannot be a copy of education in Western countries. After all, in the more dense structures there are major differences between Western and non-Western countries. I wish you the best in thinking about this theme. Greetings Carl
History develops in a spiral and what was strongly criticized yesterday is currently again presented as a deliverance from all misfortunes. Yesterday, socialism in Russia was heavily criticized, and today many in Russia would again like to see a revival of socialism. Now the main question is Why? Because under socialism, society is fairer than under capitalism in many areas, including education, which was free everywhere. This discussion discusses the topic of free education, but this free education was in the Soviet Union and this education was at a very high level, because this education gave a holistic view of the world in all relationships and this education was the best in the world. Pupils and students studied all subjects like mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, geography, history and so on. However, in our time, schoolchildren and students study only individual subjects and even only those that they like best. With such a selective preference for studying objects, a holistic picture of the world in all its interconnections is violated, when many facts could have been brought from other facts on the basis of logic and common sense. However, now knowledge is largely isolated from each other and represents only individual facts without interconnection with other facts from other objects. For example, often events in mathematics are somehow connected with history or geography, but these connections are not taught. For example, in today's elite schools in Great Britain they teach according to the Soviet system of instruction in the Stalin period, when the subject “Logic” was on the list of subjects. Then this subject was removed from school subjects. So we are going to discuss what has already been done.
Thank you, Dr Carl HD Steinmetz and Gennady Fedulov for your contribution!
Firstly, general secondary education should be free, high-quality and affordable for all citizens.
Secondly, the conditions for admission to vocational and higher education should not be complicated. But training in these institutions may be paid and free. Both public and private universities.
Thirdly, in a paid university, tuition for citizens should be low on the annual income per person.
Thirdly, quality education must respond to the demands of the labor market.
Fourth, there should be favorable conditions for continuing education with state assistance.

Primary and secondary and university education should be free for every one
What about vocational education? I think that also vocational education should be free. All the best, Carl
I believe primary and high school ought to be made free and made compulsory so as to have good and knowledgeable citizenry
Agree with the rest of replies, thank you all for making this discussion interesting and useful!
Many people today that cause a lot of problems in a community are mostly young people who don't go to school because maybe there family don't have enough money to pay for their school fees, So they just stay home. But young people can't just stay home doing nothing, So they go around look for things to do to earn money and when they don't find things to do, They end up doing some thing their should't do.
Our politicians are morons and we who elect them are equally stupid. Even the basic things as education including it vocational aspect they have not accomplished and teachers in developing countries are very poorly paid and paid
Late or paid in arrears. Because these politicians are not interested in the public but themselves. They see progress as their enemies so they simply pocket the money. You hardly see anyone go into politics that become poor and you know why
In my country (algeria)education is free for all and on all the levels.

Thank you for this relaxing information. Your government is to be admired. At least, you have something admire from political structure!
Thank you @Chuck A Arize
Yes we see it as one of the main gains of our revolution against French colonialism that lasted more than 130 years, but the social discussion now is about if this free education is affecting the quality
Yes, I agree, completely, that primary and secondary education should be free for everyone, and that right is written in the Constitution of my country (Portugal), although sometimes have taken place some violations. University education is quite expensive, but I believe continuing efforts need to be made, to be, at least, tending-towards-free. It is very important for the future.
Dear RG fellow-members, I like to draw your attention to Human Rights and Education. See the last section of my article: Article How Dutch Education Systematically Discriminates Against Dut...
All the best, Carl
Free and compulsory basic 'Education' is justified for developing Nations. Higher Education may be subject to qualifications via rank and competition for achievement of 'qualitative' parameters for scientific innovation
I believe it is essential that primary and secondary education be free and compulsory and fully guaranteed by the state.
While university education is optional and not free, for the following reasons: Make the value of the certificate more, money can be used to provide teachers and better places for students, and to ensure the seriousness of the student.
Yes, free education for all is the best investment a government can make to the community. My own state of New Mexico. USA will become the only the second state in the country to give free college education in public institutions if the law is passed by the legislators early next year. The governor will sign the law and she has found the money from natural gas revenues to support this bill. This will support folks wanting to get a bachelor's degree or a two year Associates degree in the technical trades and occupations fields.
Maybe, people are now waking up to demand free education, see Iran, Algeria, and some others. This frees lots of headaches and worries for the average citizen and more cash in their pockets to stimulate the economy.
According to international human rights law, primary education shall be compulsory and free of charge. Secondary and higher education shall be made progressively free of charge. Free primary education is fundamental in guaranteeing everyone has access to education.
