Free education is funded through taxation or charitable organisations rather than tuition funding.Many schools in South Africa owned by the government are for free meaning that school fees are not paid despite that it is a Primary school or a Secondary school.Free education is for students who come from the disadvantaged families that do not have a bread winner or who earn less than R 350 000 per annul.
Advantages of Free Education
-Students who are from the disadvantaged families or backgrounds under the definition will be funded plus supported through the government grants not loans
-Obtaining a higher education qualification results in more professionals.
-Basic education is highly important but it is through higher education where active economy contributors are developed and future leaders groomed.
