Beneficiary-paid education principle

...Expenses for preparing the necessary human and material conditions for education. In the theory of investment in education, the income (forgone income) that a person who has the opportunity to receive education after compulsory education would have earned if they had not gone on to higher education and instead found employment is also considered an educational expense. The home environment, which influences development, can also potentially be considered part of the cost of education. For example, in the compensatory education policy being implemented in the United States and other countries to compensate for the disadvantages of children and students who come from educationally poor home environments, the items of educational expenditure include health checkups, medical and dental services, improvements to home life, and recreational activities.
