England

Investing in education is investing in future generations.

It is passivity, compliance, acquiescence, and more that make the English students and their parents accept the tuition fees.
It is the mentality, and the ideology, of business. 
It is about packaging and selling debt, hedge funds, etc.
It is about creating a teacher-customer relationship.
It is the most aggressive neoliberal capitalist economy in Europe.
It is the myth of "we cannot afford scrapping tuitions fees" and "it is too costly for the state".
It is the objective of reproducing compliant workforce that will think less and be at the service of the same ideological dogma.
A Danish at an elite London university has told me how discussions in class are controlled and how they are much more open in Denmark, and how there is much less hierarchy.

A better comparison would be a Germany, a country with a bigger population and woth no tuition fees.
