During the education cohort, we talked about university education and its tuition price worldwide. I was amazed to discover that the United States has by far the highest tuition compared to all the other countries that are here. For example, someone from South Africa said her tuition was R22,000 a year which is about $3,000 dollars. In the United States, a year’s worth of a college education can range anywhere from $20,000 to $56,000. I was even more shocked to discover that Belgium provides all university education for free to anyone who graduates high school. In my opinion, it’s sad that education has become so much more business oriented than people and community oriented.
