sometimes i think how bad that education is free in my country- studnets still take tuition as if it were an obligation and school becomes a place for play even if the teacher is working so damn hard! what do you think about this? does free education makes studnets lazier at school?

I don't think that people should have to pay for education. I am currently a college student who will graduate this year and become a teacher. Education should be available to everyone. If you make students pay then some won't have access to education and I don't think that is ever acceptable.

Personally, I think education should be free and above a certain point non-obligatory all the best urban

Hello Rajni! in India primery education is free but in high schools we are paying school and college fees etc every month or annually.that is in govt.schools and colleges.in private public schools the education cost is more unbearable.besides as we are unable to guide the children at home in their studies we pay for coaching that is an extra burden to us.so i appeal to all parents to spare some time daily for their children and guide them in their studies.thank you.

As a retired teacher aged 77, I believe very strongly that all education should be FREE.
