Tuition Free High Education in US

Ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for being with us during the debate: first and I hope not last debate about education in our beautiful country- United States of America. The main goal of education related conversations to illuminate positive and negative moments of the process - due to make it much better then we have… And now we will continue the debate… … Unlike my opponent I believe that the "G.I. Bill" related information is not fabricated : my dear opponent, please feel free (next debate) to prove I am wrong and bring your sources (are you sure we can trust them ?  ) So from monetary point of view, the 100% subsidized Higher education is clearly profitable for our people- for our country. I could just say to my opponent : Higher education must be free for the exactly same reasons why the primary education is free in our country… The right to education is recognized as a human right in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), Article 26: Article 26 1.Everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be compulsory. Technical and professional education shall be made generally available and higher education shall be equally accessible to all on the basis of merit. 2.Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. It shall promote understanding, tolerance and friendship among all nations, racial or religious groups, and shall further the activities of the United Nations for the maintenance of peace. 3.Parents have a prior right to choose the kind of education that shall be given to their children. Education : the knowledge and development resulting from an educational process …knowledge arises in the mind of an individual when that person interacts with an idea or experience. …We will continue the conversation about what is education later (I hope next debate (s)) Now I would like to concentrate on why we need education (simplified version): -Education was privilege for long time: it has been way to control people -Education –knowledge freed people to some point – >level of education…. ------------ ..for long time people did not need any school education , later work environment required them to have elementary school education and so on. Today, High school education is not enough : jobs require Higher educated employees… And we need more and more . As result we need to boost enrolment into higher education based on qualification criteria that potential students must meet to get the free goods. I have never said the colleges\universities must be open for everyone ( as it is open now if you have $$$ and \or in many cases current qualification criteria is very low – and it is effecting quality of higher education- waste of taxpayer's money!) This debate is about free tuition not about quality of education: if student is qualification he\she must get free education (no slavery via loans) in any US higher education institution. Good news the free higher education processes has been started: "100 Free College Rides You Don't Need Daddy to Pay For" http://www.advantageedu.com... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ It is the law in Europe: "DO WE NEED ALL THAT HIGHER EDUCATION? EVIDENCE FROM 15 EUROPEAN COUNTRIES" http://www.etla.fi... Bad news: The Rising Price of Higher Education http://www.highereducation.org... And last: Unfortunately, we do not need 101,437,848 Scholarships - $800 billion… As result: ~$50 billion per year (money that we already have) could be not so big price for brighter future: "Higher Education--Institutions and Enrollment" http://www.census.gov... Thank you very much for reading so far…
