Is free education available in your country?

It is definitely not free. They make it sound like it's free but there are lots of miscellaneous. But that concerns only elementary though. I have never seen a college here that that was free.

I HATE when people misuse that word (as you are doing). Because what you are talking about IS NOT and NEVER WAS "education." I HATE when governments usurp that word and present it as 'something they can give you if they feel like it.' NOOOOOOOO!! It IS NOT something that ANYONE can give me! (If anybody ever DID give me an 'education,' somebody needs to sue them for R@PING ME!... and that's how ANGRY the misuse of that word makes me ) The word "education" comes from the word "educe," which means 'to manifest from within.' What they give you at those places is "schooling"---where they let you 'educate' yourself. For example: reading: you could read any language you wanted, but they will only 'school' you in their language. But--to the question I think you meant to ask--"is SCHOOLING free in your country?": No. Oh, it's free 'to the students' through high-school and possibly -through college (if their parents are still footing the bill as they had through high-school); but nobody is teaching for free (not WITHIN the school). Money is the true education.

In the USA, school is free to all residents of the school district from kinder through high school. For the most part, this is handled by the state, not the national government, so the rules vary from state to state. School attendance is compulsory from age 6 to 16, or high school graduation. in most states. Any schooling beyond high school is on a fee basis. State schools are usually cheaper than private schools.

the government had this program we have the free to buy reading books and free education. but still we have to buy uniform and shoes and writing books. so there is no absolutely free education

In my country education is free until graduation from high school. Daycares and kindergartens are not free. As to the University admittion, there is a possibility to be free upon high school diploma grades and exam results. But it applies only to one University degree. If one ever decides to have an additional qualification or a different second University degree, it isn't free.

I live in the Philippines,and education here is free from kinder to high school.Even at college the fee in some polytechnic universities is very low.But even if education here is almost free poverty is still widespread.That's why I am having a doubt that education is the key to success.Hehe Education here is free,unlike,other counties.But Philippines is still poor because many don't value the importance of education.That's my opinion. In other countries there is noting such as free education but many strive hard to go to school,but here even education is free many still cannot go to school because of poverty.haha.

The schools are free here but when I studied as an adult, I had to take a loan to be able to live while I studied. The study loan disappeared almost two years ago, from January the year I became 65. So I´m free now but it would be hard to pay the loan as my income has become so much lower. It was great to study though, I have used the English I learned earlier a lot, and am still using it for earning a bit online..

yes, it is. but it is becoming really annoying the fact that here in Italy there are two kind of schools: the private and the public ones. The problem is that people who go to the private ones generally receive a better education. this is not socially correct, in order to defend the poorest classes.

Education is not free here. The schools receive government grants to help support their needs, but there are still tuition or book fees with all grades. If you are of a lower income however, you can apply for the Free or Reduced Lunch Program and if you qualify for that some schools will also allow you to waive the tuition fee. Government programs are in place to help the lower income households with children so that the children are getting their needs met, including education. My only beef with this whole setup is that they give this assistance out to illegal immigrants which drains the system and sometimes makes it more difficult for citizens to get the help they need.

Im in USA. at least at the time my kids were going to school it was free from the preschool through high school. When there is some extra stuff such as field trips parents had to help out with the cost and send $$ with the permission slip. It wasnt much. School lunchs and breakfast were charged. Poor parent had to apply for reduced or free meals.

In the USA we are told we have 'free' education in our public schools. That is the case only if no one pays taxes and taxes seem to go up every year. As long as people of any country pay taxes to their government, there is no 'free' anything. People just pay for it under another name. Our 'free' education is getting worse every year. We have dropped from a leading country in education to 25th in mathematics; 17th in science; and 14th in reading out of 34 countries. Maybe it's better to stop paying taxes for schooling and go the private pay route in our public schools. If everyone paid privately, costs would be less than the $10,000+ currently paid for each student and we just might pay closer attention to how little our children are really learning.

Education is our country is not free. specially higher education. School education although available almost at nominal charges in Government schools. Books is also available free of charges. For the students up to 8th standard midday meal is also given by government without any charges.

Sounds just like my country!hahaha! I don't think anything is free in my country.

In the USA, unless you go to a college or university the school are free. This would be our public system schools. There are also private schools though and those are at a cost.

The education seems to be free from primary school until middle school. But actually the education charge is just higher and higher. We have to pay a lot when our children go to kindergarten. And if you want to have a good primary school, then you have to pay for an expensive cost. It can be much more expensive than university. It is really crazy. I love China

We have been told that we can have nine year free education in the country, but most of the time, we still have to pay for getting the education. In present time, having nine year education is just enough for you to go out but not enough for you to get a job. To get a job, you should have certification of more than 12 years education here. Now we can use the internet to have free classes, which are provided by the American and other countries university. But you first should know English to help you understand the classes.

In my country education is paid through taxes. Elementary school, high school and even university are free, but our taxes are extremely high. When you are a student you don't pay directly for your education, but when you finish your education and start working a big percentage of your money goes to taxes. The people with the highest incomes only keep about 30% of the money that they earn, the rest of the money goes to taxes. Without those very high taxes it wouldn't be possible to provide free education for everyone. It is possible to go all the way from elementary school to University without paying directly for your education, but there are also private elementary schools where education isn't free.

no, only few organitation do it. our government always say it, but in fact, we must pay for get it. even poor people, so they can't learn at school.

Yes, our country has free education in public schools. However, the problem is, I usually see these schools to have such terrible or low standards of education, and I really pity the kids. I think that for every school, whether public or private, the educational standards should be regulated.

Yes there is Free Education in Manila Philippines. There is this state university Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila(PLM), a university in its Filipino name. It's highly subsidized by the City Government of Manila. An Entrance Exam is provided to assess if the student is eligible to study in PLM. Only Manila citizens are accepted in PLM but High school valedictorians can try to enter PLM though they do not live in Manila.
