School can NEVER be free, countries all spend big money to educate their people.

It's a demagogic thread.

Danish example:
"The expenditure on higher education corresponded to 1.8% of the GDP in Denmark, as opposed to an average in the OECD of 1.3%"
"Denmark spends the highest proportion of GDP on education of any EU member state."

Education cost is measured in percentage of the country GDP. It's a non-sense to generalize, there are too many schools, too many countries, too many personal cases. You can get grants, you can pay to enter a good business school, u can do this and that, and what not.
