Ideally the government should scrap all private tuition costs.

That's how it works in most of Europe, and there doesn't seem to be a problem with the quality of learning or the facilities.

That's how it used to work in the UK, and the main result was a strong middle class with plenty of disposable income.

But... not everyone likes the idea of a strong middle class with plenty of disposable income. So now we have financial-rape loans and a weakened economy - a combination guaranteed to create huge default/delinquency issues over the next decade or two.
