This may not be a popular opinion but I personally reject the belief that universities have a monopoly on education. In fact I think most are designed to create a more compliant employee.
That said libraries are free, piracy is free, YouTube hosts millions of lectures by experts in their field and can be downloaded to watch or listen offline. I personally have spent the past couple years learning about the affects of US imperialism and haven’t spent a cent on it
free education on your own time only works to a point, when it starts needing a structured more advanced understanding of the subject. thats exclusive to universities, such as thing that requires wet lab work, essay writing,etc and also mathematics.
coding and computer programming you can do on your own, but an engineer , you would need hands on training.
Self teaching isn’t a replacement for structured education. Making children pay money for school because the library is free would see literacy rates drop and is a brain dead take.
In my country at least public education is free. Higher education is paid for, I don’t think it’s a radical belief that learning takes place outside of university
Ok, well that’s certainly not how you phrased it in the original question man. You kept it pretty vague and relatively open to interpretation. Might have been worth narrowing the scope a bit

Thus is exactly it. The diploma is proof that you’re willing to play the game and become a debtor and can be squeezed - HARD - because of it.

So why should the financial burden of education be placed on the uneducated. That’s what I’m asking here.

P.s. the answer to your question is capitalism. You must keep the poor in their station so you can continue to benefit from their labor
