Differences in education leads to differences in socioeconomic status.

We think basic education should be free of charge in all countries. This gives all kids the same opportunities. Higher education should also be free of charge. Education can be the key for development in many countries. Unfortunately, not every country have the economy to offer free education.

Basic and higher education should be free of charge in all countries. It is so that more will gain access to education. Not charging education can lessen the social differences. Charging education makes it hard for people to get the education they need to get somewhere in life (work etc.) There are exceptions when it comes to getting in private schools with provided tuitions such as getting a scholarship or getting in the top 10 in entrance exams, but again it is not easy.

We believe that public schools are more equal than private schools. The private schools can cause social differences between the rich people, who can attend to go good schools, and the poor people who cannot afford it. Everyone should have the same opportunity to get an equal education, whether or not you are able to pay a fee.

In a society where education cost money, there is a great amount of people who can not afford it. In addition, not only is this bad for each individual that cannot get the education they need, but it is also bad for the society.

When less people get jobs, there will be less income in taxes.

- Every man should have the elementary knowledge of 10 years of school, for the society work.
- I believe schools should be public, so everyone can have a fair chance to get a good education
-  Difference in education affects social inequality in the way that people have different knowledge and some will get better jobs than others.
- Higher education should not be free. Since it is not compulsory it should not be free. But basic education like elementary school should be free in all countries, so everyone has the chance to get an education no matter your economic status

Why is education important to a society?

Education is important to the society, because it affects the society’s opportunities. We need people who are qualified to do the work that is needed, and a good education is the way to get there.

Do you believe schools should be private or public/state schools? Why?

I think that there should be both public/state and private schools; people should be able to choose for themselves, and it seems to me that the private schools offer a better educational environment, and the pupils seemed to have more respect towards their teachers and fellow students.

How can difference in education affect social inequality?

Some people do not have the money to pay for higher education, and are therefore not properly qualified to get the jobs with a higher payment. This is a bad circle that is hard to break free from, seeing as the people with less money cannot afford to educate themselves so they can get a job with good money.

Should basic and higher education be free of charge in all countries? Why/why not?

Education should be free of charge in all countries because it should be equal for everyone. Not everyone can afford education if they need to pay, which creates inequality because these people will not get the same opportunities as the general public.

Questions- Why is education important to a society? - Education is important to society because education is about far more than the marks you receive. Without education, sensory information would simply be lost. Education allows us to process the information we receive on a daily basis and make conclusions and inferences based on what we already know.- Do you believe schools should be private or public/state schools? Why?- I believe that it is good that we have both private and public schools. The private schools gives the public schools competition and therefore they have to keep improving their school. - How can difference in education affect social inequality?- Too many of America’s most disadvantaged children grow up without the skills needed to thrive in the twenty-first century.

Low levels of performance among the most disadvantaged create long-term problems, particularly in an economy in which higher skill levels are more and more valued and the wages available to less-skilled workers are deteriorating. Some researchers claim, on one hand, that educational inequality is due to social class and family background. Others argue that inadequately managed schools bear most of the responsibility for low student achievement.- Should basic and higher education be free of charge in all countries? Why/why not? -In my opinion it should be free in all counties, than more people would have the same opportunities. It would not mean that everyone would have the same opportunities, because
