- partiallypro 7y agoRight, and how does that address costs? It doesn't. It just shifts it to one entity. Unlike with healthcare the economies of scale don't apply as well to education. It just encourages the "bad actors" (ie Universities) to keep hiking up prices. Per capita spending per pupil in the US for primary schooling is close to the top, if not the top, in the world...but outcomes are poor. Not sure how this would be different in higher education. This also assumes that college is necessary at all, and delays workforce entry.
