Education can be both a public and a private good; what other kind of a good is it? Does the government need to provide free public education? Why or why not?

A public good has two main characteristics: non-excluding and non-rival. These features make it difficult for producers and consumers to sell.

Education is not purely a public good, because some people can pay for a better education, and had privileges.

It is a right and a duty for the government to provide education for children and adolescents.
