The entire point of education is to instill inequality. By making education free, it reinforces whatever class system or preferred institutions, thus making the very idea of gatekeeping with wealth or money possible. One of the purposes of education is to teach people of a class system that has no reason to actually exist. At its core, all class systems reduce to some system where there is a lowest class that must be excluded at all costs, and that class is usually punished and shamed severely for the crime of existing. Education's primary function is to establish permanently that lowest class so that society is morally educated to reject them.
Every effort to make education free is designed to expand the definition of that lowest class, to impose further screening and humiliation, and to harden a given regimentation of society. Making education expensive is just another way of filtering and justifying the class system, since education is a tax extracted to gain membership in society at some rung.

The lowest class does not want equality with a society that has always ritually sacrificed them. The lowest class wants to leave that society permanently, seeing it correctly as a menace to avoid at all costs. A tribal, primitive society is no better for the lowest class than civilization. Most of humanity really isn't motivated by equality or justice in that way, even. Usually the aim of the valid is to attain and keep some part of the world that allows them to exist without being tortured.
So if you really wanted to promote a virtuous education for the broad masses, you would start by making it clear that home life is home. You would not have school teachers invading the home with insane charges. They would not snatch children and chop up their brains. Children would not be subjected to anything like the torture regime. If they want to declare children incapable of learning, just send them home. That's what they always wanted to do, but they insisted on making a public example purely for the sake of torture, beca
