"Tuition should be free to those that achieve admission to a public school"
Sounds like a recipe for gaming the admission standards or setting caps on admissions. It might not be a bad idea with the right safeguards in place, but it would be a mess if we just threw that into the current system.
Of course there are other options that exist today. Scholarships are essentially the same model you are proposing, only with higher standards. Plus, almost anyone who wants free tuition (including to private schools) can enlist in the military.

- giantg2 2y agoHave they figured it out for the US? The funding is a contentious issue. We've seen free tution schools in CA slip into paying large "fees". It's a similar story for previously free universities throughout the country. The money has to come from somewhere and most people hate taxes.
