Then what do people mean when they say that education is higher education? Obviously it means higher than most everyone else.
My point is that if "post high school" education (aka university) is accessible to/an option for everyone, then everyone benefits, from the individual, to their community, all the way up to GDP/tax dollars.
It's not a bullshit blue vs white collar "culture war" talking point, it's a matter of everyone having the same shot at furthering their education via university regardless of whatever their income is/their living situation/what family they were born into.
