Disadvantages of Free Tuition?

So OK, im doing a debate in one of my classes about Free Tuition and im going against it. I live in Canada BTW





These are my points:


A) It would cost too much for the government (Which equals to higher taxes)


B) Quality of Education would go down ( Look at North American Univ/Colleges compare to the ones in Europe


C) Average time to finish an undergraduate would increase (In northern Europe where tuition fees are totally free average student takes 7 years to finish an undergraduate instead of 4








What else can you guys add to this?



I don't think you could use "B) Quality of Education would go down ( Look at North American Univ/Colleges compare to the ones in Europe". Friends of mine that have studied in America say that it is a lot easy-er to get good grades in America than back home.





"A) It would cost too much for the government (Which equals to higher taxes)" might be a gray area too since once more ppl. get hi'er education, the government get more ppl. to tax, and may tax them more. Also more "HI-tec" jobs are created locally.





"C) Average time to finish an undergraduate would increase (In northern Europe where tuition fees are totally free average student takes 7 years to finish an undergraduate instead of 4" is a very good point.




D) Value of a college graduate may go down


E) People may become dependent on it (like welfare)
