Well, it's not free, it's just that someone other than the pupil is paying for it. In the U.S., free education is basically available from kindergarten through high school, and heavily subsidized education is available beyond. It's good, as it gives a more-educated citizenry, although it is certainly not perfect in the way it is carried out.

There are those who say education is a privilege and not a right based on the fact that it is paid for through taxes. I would suggest that the entire opposite is true. If all citizens pay tax during their life time, then the state should be using this to provide for those who are paying.
In addition, the UK government is always hounding educational establishments to raise standards, and pushing the young of the nation to go further and acheive more. If this is what the government wants to acheive they cannot expect it to happen fairly while education is a preserve of those who can afford it.
A personal example below - this is not just about private schools or university funding, and a proper debate should take place looking at an inclsive educational system which is fair to ALL people:
I have been struggling to pay for a PHD for some years now and I am sick of hearing that I do not deserve funding for it as I have chosen to study at this level. I have the intelligence and ideas to go far but I am hampered by money. It costs around £1500 per year to study part time over 5 years and I am working full time. Moreover, I am finding that I cannot get on the pathway to my chosen career (lecturing in HE until I have gained the PhD). I feel discriminated against where youngsters who drop out of school can be given money and chances on New Deal, and similar schemes, but because I kept my head down and worked hard right through my education (some 23 years of schools and university !) I am not entitled to support, just more loans if I can get them. There needs to parity of assessment of need, and a review of available funding and the categories in which it can be used. (Arts subjects receive substantially less support than the sciences).
It is controversial but I believe that those who drop out of school and fail to obtain qualifications should be forced to work harder to get their education rather than the softly softly approach of schemes which pander to the lazy and disrespectful.
I hope this helps!

Education is very important and it is the governments job to ensure that everyone is educated to a high standard. If the government want a thriving country then it is important that they provide everyone who is willing to learn with a free education. After all they will benifit in the end.

It did not final very long- by the 1980's it replace into already long gone. the consumer-friendly theory replace into in simple terms that- you should head to uni for loose. The capture replace into that too many human beings used it and it grew to become too high priced to justify. As such, costs have been reintroduced. good now, the government will pay for an excellent style of the fees, yet you nevertheless would desire to pay somewhat a lot your self.

It does. It provides poor quality education to keep the masses in line so that they grow up stupid and do not think for themselves (but they are useful because they fill the menial jobs in the economy), while the private sector provides good quality education so that people can fill more qualified professions. Everyone wins !

we should spend billons of dollars more on education and we should need to have bake sales to keep buying bigger and better airplanes/weapons.
dont get me wrong i almost went into an armed service, but the defense budget is too big.

No such thing as "free" from any government. Taxpayers always pick up the tab.

NOTHING is free. It is my tax dollars paying for kids to go to school through 12th grade.
Education is not a right - it is a privilege.

Absolutely they should. This is the future they are investing in. The more and better educated their populace, the better of the country would be.
