**Challenging the Current Public Education System **
The education industry is primarily centralized in government control, with the American K-12 system being a government monopoly and the college system functioning as a self-regulated cartel. This non-market based approach to education limits its ability to adapt to changing needs and may result in a system that is stuck and becoming dysfunctional. The student loan crisis highlights the issue that college may not be worth the cost, leading to the proposal of forgiving some portion of student loans. However, this is seen as treating the symptom rather than the cause, as the problem lies in the value of college education and its translation into meaningful job opportunities. The growth and administrative decisions of colleges also pose challenges to the idea of making college free. There is a need for a more market-driven, technologically sophisticated, and competitive education system to address these issues and better suit modern needs.
