Well, that's an idea that deserves consideration, but only once the 
country in question actually does provide free education!
(by which I mean higher education, not the basic education which every 
country needs to provide. There's no argument to 'payback' that, it's 
already in a countries interest to give its citizens a basic education 
(reading and writing, etc.), otherwise it wouldn't be compulsory).
