Dr.ABCD:
I red through the argument but hv not seen any example of free tertiary education here in nigeria....its not like we dnt hv one, one typical example is the residency program for doctors here in nigeria and other parts of the world, I wnt the contestant to look into such an example of free education to see if it buttresses their points ....thnk u!

Aliciakeys:
That is where the term "free" is not understood to its' fullness, free tertiary education should mean free tuition fees, accommodation, feeding and monthly stipends. Facing facts, one in such comfort zone, tends to relax to the extent that he or she may even fail to realize a drop in grades.

Aliciakeys:
Being hardworking, focused and will-powered will surely get you a scholarship. Being hardworking will get you jobs. being focused will enhance progressive thinking. Being will-powered will see you through the storms

Fynestboi: Judges,
I hope you are almost through with your preliminary ratings now. After the debaters are through with answering final questions we would declare the debate closed, pls send your scores immediately to fynestboi@ yahoo.com.


I will collate and announce results here immediately all the judges' results come in
While that is on, let debaters continue to answer questions directed at them. We would blow the final whistle soon.

Aliciakeys:
You said it yourself, they sought admission elsewhere, they surely do know the value of education so that act did not deter them from seeking what they so much want.

This is defintely far from the truth, for the fact that my parents are not the one bearing the burden of my education that does mean students will be indolent. We all know that students struggle to excel academically no matter who is bearing the burden of their education.

Mazi_Omenuko:

Students are currently striving because education is not free. Make it free and you will witness the crowd mentality I am talking about. I bet you, OMATA boys will close shop to go and acquire degrees.

So the price hike is justified, as well as the termination of their studies. You never spoke about your feelings if you were in their shoes.

Mazi_Omenuko:

Doctors medial residency program is not free per say. The medical practitioner works for the hospital and in so doing, pays part of his tuition from his labor. Sometimes, a parent hospital has to sponsor the medical doctor for the program.

boay:
You are looking at free education as the same with free degree. I believe every student STUDY HARD to excel academically. The example you gave is jejune-like and not possible. In free education, government may pay for the tution but government cant remove studying hard to progress in school. Free education is presenting education as free for all it is not the same as 'degree is free for all' as you claimed

Obinoscopy: s.

@Samtolly4Jesus: I want you to explain why Free Education will better suite a corrupt ridden government like ours than Subsidized Education. Thanks.

Aliciakeys:
This is informal education, you won't tell me that you need to be taught how to switch on a bulb, drive a car or operate appliances from an institution of formal learning. No, you can make use of social amenities without necessarily seeing the four walls of an institution.

Dr.ABCD:
in some teaching hospitals once a dr is not able to complete the program within the fix duration he or she is asked to leave..dis is bcs the hspital cannt afford to pay fr drs program no mata hw hard workin dt dr is..sm of the residents earn higher thn thr counter parts @ general hspitals..................

Caracta: Samtolly4JESUS, with free education to tertiary students, how do you intend to encourage independence and hardwork? With free education in all levels of education, how do you hope to sustain the economy and the enterpreneurial spirit of these students when they get out there?

How do you make them understand that "nothing good comes easy" when you spoil them with freebies from primary level of education to teritiary level?
