The New York Gov. Cuomo announced a plan for making the public college education free. The plan is that for students of families that make under $125,000 the tuition will be free. Sen. Bernie Sanders spoke on this issue and said:
He expanded the idea by saying:
The outstanding student debt is rising constantly over the years.
Education offers opportunities. Knowing how things work expands the horizon and perhaps tolerance and understanding. There are great world out there if you know how to appraoch there.
The US IT technology is world's finest; yet the average educational level of programmers in math and science is the bottle neck in doing just any sort of work in the field, be it scientific calculation or electronics. The US medical science is the world's most advanced; then how do you use the technology if the average healthcare workers and citizens won't be able to know or understand biochemisty nor physiology? NASA is undoubtedly one of the world greatest science project; that, however, would mean little if people won't even know what solar system is.
The hand-on approach at workplace -- people will learn whatever they need whenver they need it -- is fine if we have the basics, like math, reading and science. It would be very hard, however, going from vector definition and reach at the point of understanding what space science is for. We should not have to teach average workers what periodic table is; how do you expect any invention will come from doing things that do not make sense at all at factories?
We need higher education. The purpose of education is not money making. The cost should not be an issue in learning.
If we are serious about having the best-educated workforce in the world, we have got to make public colleges and universities tuition-free.— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) January 3, 2017
