In a video report, multimedia editor Nello Puelles discusses the high cost of college in California and argues for free college education, drawing comparisons to the system in South America, particularly Peru.
Puelles highlights that in Peru, public education is free for all students, provided by the government.This stands in stark contrast to the United States, where the high cost of college creates barriers and limits access to higher education.
Puelles explores the impact of the high cost of living in California on college affordability, noting that many students face financial challenges that hinder their ability to pursue higher education. He also discusses the lack of motivation among some students to attend college due to these financial barriers.
Through interviews and research, Puelles highlights the benefits of free college education, advocating for a system that provides equal opportunities for all students, regardless of their financial background.
