University education should be FREE!
This idea is based on: https://egora-ilp.org/ideas/730
The job-specific institutions mentioned in the referenced idea could actually ask for money. Those institutions are like training hubs: they just train the students on how to do job X. It's like going to the gym; it's a paid service - but you have access to all training machines and probably to coaches as well.
On the other hand, universities are for those people who just want to learn, want to know, and want to find out how this universe works or what this universe is. Knowledge is a human right and should be free and available to everybody. People would seek getting "Bachelor", "Master's" or "PhD" degrees to prove their excellence in a specific area of knowledge, or to challenge themselves and have fun!
