    I live in Quebec where school is free from preschool to college.

    First, I should explain how our school system work :

    Level Duration
    Preschool 1 to 2 years
    Primary 6 years
    Secondary 5 years
    College (CEGEP) 2 to 3 years
    Undergraduate (Bachelor's) 3 to 4 years
    Graduate (Master's) 2 years
    Doctoral 3 years or +

    : Free (aside from books and stuff)
    : Pay to attend (but still pretty cheap [around $ 4 000 per trimester for undergrad])

    I do believe we reached a fair balance. Lowering the cost to universities gives people equal opportunities to succeed in life. Intelligence and talent are not given the wealthy alone. There is lot of untapped and undiscovered talent and intelligence lying covered under impoverishment. Low-cost education opens the doors of opportunities to these talented people.

    It also enables students to concentrate on learning and gaining more through the education, instead of struggling with the payment of tuition fees and meeting other expenses.

    Free education would be beneficial to those who deserve it, as well as, to the society as a whole.
