So in a country like Guyana who is going to fund the university?  The students through school fees?  A private investor needs a return on his invested capital. So where is he going to get this? 

The cost to run a college, including a return on investment will imply high tuition if it is to be fully funded by students.  So how will students be able to pay back the loans? Already in the USA, with its much higher salaries we have a student loan crisis, so what of impoverished Guyana where professionals earn the same salaries as baby sitters in Barbados!

Education is a social good and in a poor country this has to be guaranteed by the government.  And I don't understand your screams when there are loads of state owned colleges in the USA. And there is also CUNY. Even though there are ample foundations and even though larger universities here have endowments which can be used to fund the financing gaps.

Why is it OK for a stadium to be government owned and a university not?

At this rate why should we even have a government at all? What functions should the government have if access to education isn't something that it should be involved in. Yes have a lawless society like Somalia where no government exists.

Man your head is hard, all these years I have been hammering sense into your thick skull but yet you regress to asinine assumptions. 

How can you compare a stadium, an inanimate object, to a university, a living breathing dynamic entity which requires educators, students, curriculum and learning aids? This is a comparison of apples to oranges. 

Govt should not be in the business of higher education, their skill is politics, not running schools and industry.
