Why not pay a basic income to students for passing tests?
- xiaoma 10y agoIt would result in funneling government resources through gullible or cynical citizens into the test prep industry. Only a depressingly small portion would go towards actual education.
- kiiski 10y agoThat would be student benefits[1] rather than basic income. At least here in Finland (and other Nordics) we already do that. Basic income is supposed to be given unconditionally to everyone. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student_benefits https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student_benefits
