Education would be share, have a good a quality and to be free...but apparently that is difficult to realize.

I don't agree that high education should be free. Shared between state and the student is a good idea though. (At least imo).

Education should be free, but then again try to say that to all the big companies in the world. I hope the youth win in this case though.

@Colour blind: the greek goverment is having a hard time passing this new legislation!

Jen from Jessup, United States

Damon Schreiber from Toronto, Canada

Great capture. I'd love for higher education to be free, which it sadly isn't here. Here, the students are reduced to protesting when the government raises tuition.

@Damon Schreiber: sometimes we have to climb high in order to achieve our goals, regards D

jennifer radio from United States

I wish higher education was free in the united states!

ginger from Melbourne, Australia

we are seeing public education gradually slip away - privatisation being the main platform of our government. I believe in quality education for all - strange, though.. i have never met anyone who admits to voting our australian government in!!

@ginger: strange? what can I say, people change....
