Since educating the young is an investment in the future of a nation, I am all for the government stumping up for it in large measure. But lets be fair. The nation needs Doctors, nurses, engineers, (laywers is debatable) but it doesnt need more Egyptologists or people with a Masters in remedial Macrame. So lets have a scale of fee subsidy in line with the projected requirements of the nation, which can be reviewed every few years. If you want to study something not on the list, you pay higher fees.
