can fund, because they realize that the whole country will benefit. Many developed countries also try to
offer free tertiary education because they want a highly educated population'
However, there is also a strong argument that individuals benefit so much from tertiary education that
they should be expected to pay tor it. Doctors, lawyers, accountants and engineers have some of the
highest incomes in most societies. People argue that the government, and therefore the taxpayers should
