free university education

Because a university education is increasingly seen as the threshold to a decently paid job, young people may choose among different providers of it but are not free to rule it out altogether.

因为大学教育越来越被看做是获得一个不错收入工作的最低标准，年轻人虽可以在不同的学校间作选择，但却没有不作选择的自由。

The American Association of University Professors agrees: ". . . critical thinking . . . is the hallmark of American education—an education designed to create thinking citizens for a free society."

美国大学教授协会也发出同样声音：“批判性思维...是美国教育的标志 - 它能为自由社会输出有思考能力的公民。”

Out of 120000 children willing to take entrance exams only 40000 have a right to get free education. All the rest will pass their exams next year or enter a private university.

在12万名志愿参加大学入学考试的孩子中，仅有4万名能上免费的大学，其他的要在来年通过考试才能上私立大学。
