Most of the developed countries offer free high school education to all children, thus achieving 100% literacy rate unlike in developing countries. In light of the above success, many are raising voices to make higher education free for all students, enabling poor students to get university degrees without any financial stress. While it may seem a grand favour to students, consequences of such a step may be detrimental to the quality of education. So, I firmly disagree with the perspective of free education to all, as I believe it will have more adverse effects, outweighing the benefits that it offers.
