It is too expensive for me, probably for everyone. Sometimes the middle-income group has too much income for grants and too little to afford rising tuition. We need to do some serious rethinking about the role of tuition and how we deliver educational services. Maybe, although we should not consider technology a total panacea for educational opportunity. If we want to have accessible institutions, then the cost and tuition issue must be dealt with.
Cost is a barrier to accessibility as much as anything else.
It's a tough problem. The strategic plan suggests including more general education as part of technical education. The line between general education and technical education is becoming blurred. We are becoming a technology-based society, so the blending of technical and general education is happening. One can't survive in today's society just looking at the skill-based side of things.
