For frrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!???

Firstly, I’m sorry if the title annoyed you. But hey, who doesn’t love free stuff? Speaking of free stuff here, the free education topic is still on. Maybe it is one of the opposition’s manifesto. Okay, let’s kick politic out of this entry. I think I have commented about this before on Twitter. Anyway, as everyone already knew, school fees for primary to high school had been repealed starting last year. I still remember that time when I was staying with my housemate which happened to be a school teacher. She kinda pissed about this. The good thing about school without fees is it will help poor people but then schools have to be dependable for the school activities. And when they asked for extra money from parents, of course they will get money WITH lots of complaints. I can’t write much about this since I’m just a tuition teacher.

In my opinion, free education for all levels (hope government can include polytechnics and community colleges too) are a good thing except for the high level (degree and above) for IPTA and IPTS. But actually there is a free tuition fee and allowance for students in higher institutions. Surprisingly, not many of people that complain about free education knew about this. Maybe they knew, but they try to hide the fact since they’re not qualified. Yes, you can’t get free lunch without invitation. To get the invitation, what students should do is work hard and take their study seriously. It is unfair for others that work so hard to get the invitation and at the end of the day, everyone demands for free lunch too and they just sit down and wait to be served with free delicious meals. After all, there are 20 public universities, 28 private universities, 22 private university-colleges and 403 private colleges in our country. If all fees for free (even for public universities only), just imagine what will happen to our economy. My hope is before any parties want to complain or consider about free fees, maybe they should help research students first. Hey, we really need a grant for our research!
