yes i think it is not going to lose any value and might be there are more number of people who can get educated and become a literate. there are more number of people who just cant afford studies and they dont go for schooling and waste their life. but one thing what i can tell is the competition increases and there will be lack of oppurtunities due to many people getting educated and there are less jobs and we really cant survive. i feel that if we have a free education of basics it is much better as the people will get to know things better and they can manage their lives and may be higher studies should remain as expensive as it is now or else the competition increases so it is better have the basic eductaion for free. and there are several jobs that the educated people just cant do it like the domestic jobs ploughing fields, and other jobs which ever the illiterate person do it, if we have all people educated then where are the people for doing all this work. i dont tell that so people have to remain illiterate but basic education should be provided so that those people can take advantage of it and make their life simpler. there are people who cant even read a little just imagine if they have to take a medicine and they dont know whats the expiry date is and they just cant read it and take the any medicine and at this time atleast the basic education will help them isnt it? atleast a little education should be given to all to know things more better and have a good usage of it.

Free education is not bad in its sense, but I have seen situation where people misuse the value of education because they got so cheaply. In as much as people advocate for free education but let put a price to education at least to those with high technicality or profession so that they can get committed at least for a cause

Of course! But it depends on the one taking the education, and how he intends to use it. As education is the only treasure our parents could give us, we should also treasure our education and be serious about it. I have done that. Now I have a good paying job, I get to use the things I learned in college at work and i am really proud that my parents were able to support my education, whatever it took them for me to finish my schooling. I thank my parents for giving me this gift. I hope I could repay them the soonest possible time I can.

A free education is the best gift you could give to thousands of underprivileged youths in the world. And being free does not necessarily mean a decline in its true value. For it is not the price of education that matters but on what the mentors teach to the students and on how the students respond to the learning process.

If education is free for all level, I think it will be a good thing for all of us .In our country ,the tuition is very high ,especially in university ,some students whoes family have no enough money to support them ,it is really unfair thing.
