But the modern PNP has argued against it!

suh who a de rawse hypocrite den... suh it was found to be unsustainable given the country's economic condition... this same JLP went hard against it... the pnp relented and attempted to modify 'free' allowing for some contribution from parents, subsidized education... the REAL hypocrite jlp took it because it was popular and was a way for them to get elected... it wasn't based on prudence... now, the imf is hinting at reducing the govt obligations and now they are trying to give the impression that they will not abandon the program... you remember 'no new taxes' and reality forced a change... watch the ride...
holness is only trying to buy election votes... i dont expect you to agree willi... lol...'to get what we've never had, we MUST do what we've never done'Comment

IMO educatiion should be free for ALL, that is NO TUITION to be paid by ANY student. As Assassin says the Tax Authority needs to find other ways to tax the rich, otherwise you're creating a whole new bureaucracy to manage who pays and who doesn't pay.
No education system I know of is totally "free"... there are always needs and wants that are not covered by government subsidy.
I think for the purposes of this thread "free education" means "no tuition".Peter R

and how do you translate that to our Jamaican situation, today?Solidarity is not a matter of well wishing, but is sharing the very same fate whether in victory or in death.

..translate "what"? I will admit I am not fully up on the Jamaican situation that you refer to, as i don't know exactly what you mean...
My statement above was not an endorsement nor criticism of any PARTY policy but stating what I think an education principle should be... if it isn't already so.Peter R

what i find funny, is whenever the jlp is found to be a hypocrite on a particular issue, inevitably the response is 'both a dem a hypocrite'... where is the courage to ascribe the hypocrite title on the jlp on this specific issue... lol...'to get what we've never had, we MUST do what we've never done'Comment

I submit that while education can be subsidised by governmnet there is noway any governmnet will be able in the Jamaica we live right now to provide this so called free education.
Not even Manley and the PNP were able to do it..I went to Cornwall in 1976 and by fourth form we were given vouchers to pay some fees at BNS, there were books to buy and more costs involved in the educational system.Solidarity is not a matter of well wishing, but is sharing the very same fate whether in victory or in death.
