In developed countries education is very cheap and even free, while I live in a developing country and to get quality education I have to pay at expensive universities, even to get into public universities I have to pay dearly, this is what makes education difficult to achieve in most developing countries it is difficult to improve the economy or be able to compete with foreign workers who usually have higher skills and education.
maybe it happens to almost all developing countries, that this dilemma will always be unavoidable, although maybe some developing countries have made changes by providing subsidies from the government for primary and secondary education and some have even reached the tertiary level by providing free education. but it can't go well because of the mentality that there is still abuse of authority in student admissions. so that admissions that should be free become an arena for corruption by determining certain payments so that they can be accepted as students. It is difficult to prove this incident, but it did exist and is real, so that education, which should be a good example, has been littered with actions that are not commendable.
maybe you are right that in your country there is very expensive education, maybe the same thing happened as I told you.
So if education is a milestone for people to be smart, it's already expensive, so when they become successful people in their field, it's not impossible to set expensive rates so they can return the funds spent while studying, such as doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc.
so if you want to compete with developed countries it will be difficult to do because the way of thinking is already oriented towards mutual benefits even though not everything has to be done that way.
