If not her's then who?
Finders keepers we used to say.
Ain't nothin free, there's a bill for everything and someone must pay.
The only questin is who's pop-in for the bill?
How as a society we pay for access to higher learning study is a intresting one as is the idea education should be linked to earning potential as if learning has no other function other than making one suitable for a certain job in the work place.
As a ‘uneducated ‘ working man who never had the option to seek a university education part of me resents the thought I have to pay for folks to ‘idle’ at uni . Then another part of me thinks the link between occupation and further education , learning for career rather than just pure academia is a bad thing. Putting huge debt on the young to fund education seems bad but then in the uk wev never had better , more widely available university access. Partly that’s down to the way it’s funded now.
I’d like to see other options considered , maybe looking at death duties and tacking on a surcharging there if ones benefited from state funded further education . Means testing and enforcing that probably had associated costs and that’s why it’s not happening but as a idea it solves both funding and student debt plus keeps the direct link between education and earning potential separate.
The current system in the uk is not right ( though functionaly it’s working) imo it encoutand normalises debt in our youth and that’s causing issues, issues that will have long term consequences imo.
