On the other hand - should it be COST that determines who goes and who doesn't? I'd rather see desire and ability determine who gets to go to school. Just because post secondary education is paid for doesn't mean that everyone is going to go - only that everyone has the opportunity to go. And we're NOT just talking about everyone getting bachelors degrees.
What about technical colleges? Plumbers, electricians, firemen, bakers, beauticians, digital animators, carpenters, auto mechanics, rough necks - all trades programmes offered by Schools of technology and applied arts. And what about going to school just for the sake of being a better educated more well rounded smarter garbage man, or shop clerk??
