I can see 3 alternatives:
1) Education is for the benefit of children; this will provide the best possible starting conditions for a happy adult life (which may well include earning power). Children do not pay for education so money is no object. Unfortunately children have no voice and have to represented by their parents.
2) Education is for the benefit of Parents; this will be similar to 1 except that they will try to limit the cost of education (except for their children) as they are paying.
3) Education is for the benefit of the State; The majority will get just enough education to be productive, a select few will be given more expensive education in order to be leaders.
