The simple reason for making higher education free is to promote equality. Many intelligent students from low-income households may be unable to afford university tuition costs, which is unjust. We have seen examples of intelligent students that are unable to attend university because they are impoverished, but rich individuals are able to do so because their parents are wealthy enough to pay their tuition.

Also, there are some students who drop out because they are unable to pay for all four years of tuition. Making university education free would eliminate the reason for not being able to graduate. This would also help to increase college graduation rates because fewer students would feel compelled to drop to part-time status or discontinue their education for financial reasons.

According to Medium.com’s article on education tuition, almost a quarter of the average college freshman class drops out, which is due to not being able to afford college anymore and turning to expensive loans that they will have to pay off for the rest of their life.

Demand rises in tandem with consumer expenditure. More demand for products and services means more people will join the labour market or there will be more job openings. As a result, a virtuous economic circle emerges.
