I think free education is an admirable goal and could have many positive benefits; however, there may be potential issues with how it would be implemented in practice that must be addressed. For instance, determining who qualifies as being eligible for free education and what criteria will need to be used may require a certain amount of rigor in order to ensure equity and fairness across all applicants.

I think that offering free education to everyone is an extremely laudable goal, and would result in a world with more knowledge, creativity, and entrepreneurship. However, from an economic point of view it would require major reforms in many countries to make up for the loss of funding from having no-cost education. Additionally, this will have both advantages as well as potential drawbacks like any other sweeping change: some students may slack off or take advantage of the system while those most motivated would certainly benefit greatly.

Overall, making education available to all at little or no cost could drastically reshape entire societies by removing financial barriers to learning. It should be thoughtfully implemented if made available though if done too quickly it may create unexpected consequences that outweigh its original purpose.
