FREE EDUCATION IN EUROPE AND DETERMINANTS1
Introduction:
Free education or sponsored education has become the focus area of many of the
countries. It is regarded to be one of the most charitable conducts of the government, since it is
the governmental bodies of the countries which are essentially interested in the funding or the
sponsoring activity. The primary education and some of the vocational courses are free in many
of the countries, but Europe has included a free education policy for the high school students or
rather the university students. In many if the countries the expenses for graduation and post-
graduation has been made free. According to the Article 13 of International Covenant on
Economic, Social and cultural Rights ensure, that the primary education across the countries
must be made free, while the progressive education or the higher degrees like post-graduation
and or graduation must be regarded as the right to education of the individuals, and therefore,
there must be provision which will ensure the same. The concept of freed education had come
into the concept during the time of the Islamic Golden Age, from the madrasa based educational
system. However, since the time of Renaissance, the need for free education had been realized
and the concept had been taken as a socio-political duty by the government of the country, and
this had heightened the practice of sponsorship (Dos Santos, Punie, and Castaño-Muñoz. 2016).
The rich business men and the dignitaries found out that they can pay for the education of their
patron, in order to make thee able to serve them properly and holistically. Many of the social
thinkers thought it to be noble to have an educational set ups that would provide the children of
the society the basic education at the free of cost, and many of the social thinkers believed that
there must be a system of free education for the children thus ensuring intellectually sound future
citizens.

At the same time, the term Sponsorship must also be discussed, which is essentially
associated with the term free education. Sponsorship invokes in our mind, the picture of media
and the picture of advertisements and campaigns, but initially, the act of sponsorship meant the
act of fame and recognition, and social position. Though all these aspects are just the similar in
the present times as well, but indifferent forms or modes. It was the social position of the man,
which is now reestablished as the social position of the business house. However, the
organization had always taken the pivotal role in spreading the message of free education. In a
number of countries, the basic education has been made or free cost, while in some other
countries, at the graduate and the post graduate level the students need to pay only the tuition fee
for the courses (Simons, Lundahl, and Serpieri. 2013).
However, in this particular essay or literature review, a detailed literature will be
presented regarding the free education system or policy that has been included and initiated in
Europe. Along with that the determinants of this free education system will be discussed.
Therefore, the literature will first discuss about the freed education system in Europe. A brief
introduction of the topic will be made and along with that, the investigating factors that
contributed into the practice of free education system in Europe will be discussed. Therefore, the
essay will discuss about the determinants of free education in Europe, and how the factors like,
globalization, multiculturalism, immigration, open society and economy is affecting and
influencing the entire process will also be discussed. Next, an analysis of the literature of the
conditions of free education in Europe will also be discussed in the essay, along with a brief
discussion of the present competition within the country. Finally the probable reason for other
countries, not taking a part or not initiating the process of free education will also be understood
and analyzed.

According to the international human rights law, the primary education in all the
countries must be made compulsory and cost free, and then the secondary and the higher
education must also be made free of charge. However there must be certain conditions that will
determine the position of the students and their feasibility to be approved for the free education.
The United Nations, and the International Human Rights Law, have stressed on the fact that
providing free education to the children is one of the most fundamental aspect and feature of the
government that should be followed, and this is essential and has been made constitutional in all
the developed countries, and in the developing countries even, the governments have been asked
to make the primary educational cross the children free of cost (Monroe, Dillon, and Malle.
2014). However, there are many developing countries like, India, where the population and the
level or the scale of poverty both remain at quite a high position, and these countries have been
asked to make the associated aspects free of cots. For example the books and the meal that they
take within the school, must be made free of charge.
However, considering the situation of Europe it is found that the country has taken a
different approach in making the education system free of cost the primary education system
within the country has been made free in most of the schools, which are directly controlled by
the government, but in case if some private schools, it is found that the children are charged for
their education. However, the country has included a more specific and innovative approach
towards the free education system, the countries of Europe are aiming at giving free education to
all the international students who are aiming at taking u a degree in the country. This is a
complete new approach that the country has taken and there are interestingly very limited
