Educating people is an investment for the future economy of this country.

Sorry, I'm not convinced by that. If the majority are likely to have such earning potential they can afford to contribute. If such people are in the minority then I question that the few could support the cost of free education for all.
Plus it has been stated that it would lead to limiting numbers going to uni which would be counter-productive.
I agree that helping those at the lower end of the earning spectrum with apprenticeships is money better spent and likely to lead to more success and improved earning potential for the many.
