In China, many military academies are still completely free, including tuition, food, and housing. Even public universities are pretty affordable—tuition is only around 5,000 RMB, (or just over $700 a year. )You can also earn scholarships and other financial aid by study hard, so in many cases, you barely have to pay anything.

People back then we're born leaders and they knew what they wanted to do, how they would fit in the economy and they also knew who uni was really for: those training to be an employee and intellectuals therefore demand was so low they needed to incentivise.

“I thought it was a few thousand dollars and you’re telling me it’s free? Yeah, that shocks me, Bernie” 😅 … yes! I was shocked too. I didnt think this country knew what “free” meant.

That is why he has been the biggest advocate for taxpayer-paid free college for everyone. He’s the only politician old enough to remember and honest enough to tell the truth about it

Tuition was free until it was free to everybody and then racism had to stop that

Yes not only were some colleges free, you had health insurance on first day of any employment and you did not pay for it. it was just part of your employment package.

Without googling I know it stopped being free either after segregation became illegal or the devil aka ronald reagan became a politician.

Community College should only charge a small fee, like $200-500 to ensure the commitment of the students.
