We don't need a competitive market in education. This is education not a corporation.

What we need is fair and equal education for all and quite frankly using a capitalist system isn't going to achieve that. How exactly do you propose we measure the quality of education? As of now it's primarily based on grades and what universities students get in to. If everything was privatised I can only see this getting worse and students being pushed to achieve higher and higher grades no matter what the cost.
