Here in Finland, our education is also free (even for foreigners), but we are now starting to put limits on certain things, like the number of tuition free degrees you can have.
There is now talks of charging foreigners and even introducing basic fees for citizens.
Education is important here because the labour market salaries are strictly based on your qualifications and experience, not your experience or ability alone.
This is why I hope Finland never starts to charge for tuition fees, unless they do away with the qualification based pay scale.
In the future, I think free online education could replace paid education as long as the government recognised the achievements of so called 'self-taught' students. I realise you couldn't do this in full for just any profession though.
