otipoju:Higher Education may be free in those countries but can you enjoy the education and just walk away like Nigerian graduates do to public uni and government ? Can you pay less than 10% tax in those nations like Nigeria? The simple answer is NO. You can't copy and paste policies partially like that. It will amount to disaster. Government needs more than free education to get value out of graduates. |

HigherEd: Making schools expensive is actually not in the interest of humanity. And yes it's possible to have well trained professional at a very low cost. Fidel Castro did it with Cuba. Today, Cuba matches all the first world countries in terms of well-being, life expectancy, infant mortality rate and so on. Cuban doctors are recognised by America and yet, medical students in Cuba do not pay tuition. Instead, the school pays them stipends. Doctor to patient ratio in Cuba is 6.7 when compared to America's 2.4. So what is the essence of making schools expensive when it leads to higher cost of living? When we leave essential services to profiteering we will all suffer at the end. That's why we hire foreign contractors to do common road maintenance, they make profit at our expense. Because money will never be enough we go back to borrow. Roads that government can mobilise the ministry of works to do |

Johnrake69: If you are giving the opportunity to emigrate to either the United States or Cuba, are you saying you would choose Cuba? Communism has failed woefully. Cuba is not a success. Do your research . |

CodeTemplar: The problem is not education subsidy. It's simply lack of foresight and the fact that we all lack morals and we believe in profiteering at the expense of the human race. It's not in the best interests of humanity to have expensive schools. And yes it's possible to maintain education subsidy. Fidel Castro left that as a legacy. Medical students in Cuba don't pay tuition and the school pays them stipends. And this singular policy has transformed Cuba's public health. Cubans might not have the money to spend on luxurious goods but they have what is important... Well being! Doctors to patients ratio is 6.7 compared to America's 2.4. Cuba spends just about 10% of what it cost to train an American doctor. Despite the frosty relationship between America and Cuba, Cuban doctors are recognised by America. |

Re: George Weah Declares Tuition Free In Public Universities In Liberia by Johnrake69: 11:14pm On Oct 24, 2018 |
einsteine: Many will choose America because they don't really understand life and what's really important. As a Cuban you're entitled to annual medical check. It's enshrined in their constitution. And coming to Communism, it didn't fail on its own. Do you have an idea about several trade embargo Cuba was slammed with? A Cuban have more access to a doctor than an American. Infant mortality rate is lower in Cuba, while life expectancy matches that of the first world countries. So how did they fail? Because they don't have the money to buy luxurious goods they don't need to be in perfect health? |

AdesegunSanni89: You're not making sense, no one is saying top schools must be cheap but if you think the higher the cost of education, the more quality then you are delusional! George Weah did what was best for his people, it might not wok in Nigeria but at least he did something! |

jade14: Who said schools were cheap outside? The argument here is that top education is expensive which is a fallacy! 90% of ivy league schools are expensive because of reputation and networking not necessarily their advance curriculum. I can bet my last penny that the curriculum at Georgia Tech is just as advanced as Harvard or Princeton but if you wan to be a future politician or someone great then you must attend ivy league school. Please tell me what graduates are getting by graduating from Babcock or Unilag nowadays? |

crea8graphix: My thoughts exactly. How would these schools be funded? The university is supposed to generate revenue, total dependence on the government would have a crippling effect. I nor follow people praise am for this one. University Education should be affordable not free. I fear for the Liberian school system in no distant time. 2 Likes |

Saka18: What he is saying is that somebody spent the millions on their behalf and they are not even aware of that. The population of Nigerian public uni students have gone up 10 times over the last 20 years and it will be bad to keep using same funding model. What HigherEd is saying is that govt does not have to give cheap and ineffective education to satisfy peoples ego, let them give quality education first then those who were educated can provide solutions effectively. It is better to have 2000 quality mechatronics engineer each year than have 15,000 certificate holding but non practicing mechatronics engineer roaming the internet. The 2000 can set a high and productive standard for all those coming behind them and govt can then do a proper estimate of what is needed to subsidize 15,000 of them. 2 Likes |

Evangkatsoulis:Thank you. most people don't know their 20 - 50k tuition is just a fraction of what govt pays towards their education. |

abbey621:You are very ignorant and arrogant about it. The govt subsidizes unilag students heavily and it will be a foolish move to compare the tuition paid by Babcock student to unilag student on the surface. Going deep a little will reveal unilag gets about 300k plus per student from the government. So factor that into you argument and adjust accordingly. |

Anigreat: Same way you enjoyed it under the government of the drunk fisherman from Otuoke with a fake PhD. Under Goatluck Jonaddaft's regime with Nyesom Wike the wicked as Minister of Education, Nigerian Universities were shut for about one year for lack of money while Mama Piss Sheppopo, Deizaini the executive prostitute, puffpuff cheeked World Bank fraudster Ngozi Okonjo-Iwealla, the kleptomaniac Princess Stella Oduah and other agents of the devil were looting and sharing our treasury. |

abbey621: Weah has done what he knows but Nigerian govt has been offering free education for ages. just check what govt spends on each federal uni student yearly and realize that. Tuition you guys cry about is still a fraction of the subsidy being enjoyed. |

CodeTemplar: With a selfless leader it's possible. I refuse to see population as a problem when in fact, it should work in your advantage. Japan is currently experiencing population decline and it's a massive problem for them because at the current rate their future population can't support their economy. I believe Fidel Castro would have succeeded with Nigeria because there was sincerity of purpose which every African What is making us poor is not subsidy it's that profiteering mindset championed by capitalism. For every endeavour someone must make profit. That's why we will continue to have poor and substandard infrastructure. Let's take Lagos for instance, a vibrant ministry of works with sufficient work force that is paid living wage and well equipped too can fix all the roads in Lagos. Where you need expatriates you national some expatriates and add them to your work force. But no, we give out contracts with over bloated figures while government officials collect kick backs. All the professionals in our ministries are idle because using them won't provide much avenue for profiteering. |
