Education is essentially free, thanks to the Internet. It's the accreditation from gatekeeper institutions that can cost a fortune. I think it's vitally important that we properly define the problem in order to fix it. So, seen as a problem of overpriced accreditation rather than access to education we can logically conclude that although education is a "common good" that needs to be supported by all, maybe accreditation needs to be devalued.
Surely there are far easier & cheaper ways to ensure a person knows a thing.
