What's the point of having a supposedly free education system if you're just going to saddle students with a load of debt the minute they graduate, I mean it's not like we're made of money or anything. My proposal is to scrap tuition fees altogether, it's not like it's a radical idea or anything, plenty of other countries manage it.
The current system is just a way of pricing out working class kids from getting a degree, and that's not exactly what I'd call fair. If we want to create a more equal society then we need to start by making education accessible to everyone, not just those who can afford it. It's not like the government can't afford it, they just choose to spend their money on other things, like subsidizing big businesses or whatever.
I know some people will say that scrapping tuition fees will just mean that taxpayers will have to foot the bill, but I think that's a pretty short-sighted view.
