should all education be free to all people?



Different countries have different education systems. I do not know all the education systems in the world but all the ones I do know about have free school education in primary and secondary levels. I certainly agree with the statement that this should be the case. At the same time, I believe that university education should be different.
No matter what standard of income someone has or what society someone comes from, everyone should have the opportunity to have a good standard of education. This is not always happens but it is what should happen. Private schools can be available to those who want and can afford it but the free school should always be there. This is certainly all countries should strive to attain though some have problems due to the economic and political situations in their countries. Government should make sure that all their citizens have access to a good standard of free education at primary and secondary levels.
Further education is different. In an ideal world it should be free but government have a lot of demands for their money. I think that students should have to pay, maybe not all, but at least a contribution towards their tuition fees. They will be able to earn back once they have graduated. The UK has this system whereas in the US students have to pay all their high tuition fees which can run into tens of thousands of dollars over a full course. I am not sure if I agree with this but it certainly would make sure that students make the best efforts to pass or all their money would be wasted.
I therefore conclude that primary and secondary education should be freely available to all if possible, but the further education should not necessarily be completely free.
