If higher education becomes free someday could the government require people to stay longer in school/university?

Asked by talljasperman (21916points) October 25th, 2011

In my province (Alberta) they are changing the minimum drop out age to 17 from 16 and I was wondering that If university was free if citizens could be forced to attend school past high school? Will it one day be possible to force an adult to take post-secondary or trades after high school, or even until one completes a certain standard to employ oneself? Would this be a good thing for society or a really bad idea?
