Don't your inheritors have to pay for it, then?
The way it would work in the US (which, let's be real, probably has the most acute case of out of control higher education costs) is that any remaining debts you have when you die would be paid off by your estate (any cash/assets you have left behind). If your estate is liquidated and there are still outstanding debts, those do not transfer to other people unless their name is also on the debt. So, if you have student loans just in your name, then they would go away. However, if, say, your parents cosign on the loans, then they would assume responsibility for them.
Wait so schooling doesn't have to be paid, then? I'm starting to wonder if there's some significant profit margin in there...
