Free education that costs too much part 1 of 2

Today I want to talk about University system in Turkey, how many of you actually believe that the education that we are getting is good? Well I can tell you that the education we are getting is at its worst, and I am not just saying that, I know it, I've been around and I have seen how real education is in well developed countries. But my point is not to compare Turkish education with those of other countries, my point is simply to draw a picture of how we are being coned under the name of free education. As you all know Turkey is governed with statism where more than half of the country doesn't pay taxes like they should be. So unfortunately some people are paying more than they should be and some people are just not paying at all, however this is a very deep issue so I am going to jump in to the educational part of it right a head. There are 172 universities in Turkey that number is almost twice as much as the number of universities in France, a country that has almost the same population as Turkey. Even though universities in France are state controlled, they are not out of control because of their understanding of education and tax payment, however the same is not true for Turkey. Nowadays everyone's  kid in Turkey has to get a degree, no body wants to do labor, people who are not capable of getting higher education are forced to get a crappy education under the name of  university. And going to university became to bee seen as a right that the government has to provide to every individuality no matter what their capacity is. In the result of this, we found universities like supermarkets, and give university graduates like supermarkets sell newspapers. Everyone's kid, whether their parents are tax payers or not get a free education, and for some reason believe that their country owes them something even though they have been consumers all their lives. Its easy to talk about the problem but what about the solution. Well I believe in countries that are still in the progress of developing, paying for education can be a solution. Listen to what I am saying in part 2, before you disagree right away...
