It's a tricky situation, becausae if everyone had a degree (because it was free, accessible and so on) then there would be job shortages I guess (too many skilled people) and it'd be difficult to pay all the people who are in charge of the education system, from support stuff to those who write curriculum and teach it, to cleaners and so on - I mean, education is a profit industry in itself. BUT - it kinda annoys me that things that you could learn on youtube or from life school, you need a degree for - that costs a lot of money you have to give back. Like plumbing, or mechanics - my hsuband does all of these himself, and isn't trained formally in those things - but he couldn't make a career out of them because he hasn't got a degree (he does have a physics degree, and a teaching degree). Oh the world is crazy. Sometimes I just wish we'd go back to living in small groups and simple trades for barter. It'd make for an easier and happier life.

Of course it wouldn't be free, I am only championing that education be cheaper because in a place like Nigeria even people are paying so much it totally doesn't make sense to enrich a cycle of oligarchs while there is no end product to the degree that is been acquired for paying so much, it seems like a no-brainer to me. The government are the one embezzling all these funds and even paying shareholders very little. Outside the country you see students owing student debt.
Now if these debts are being cancelled, I don't think it would have checked the government's pocket because they have a lot of money. At the end of the day the government gains more while the people suffer, it's always a one-way traffic
