Taxes is for more than just education!

Anyway, you will benefit as your friends, colleagues, neighbors and especially your own children will not be burdened with the debt, and more likely to be well educated.

Isn't education the largest part of state spending in France (not saying it is bad thing, but still).

True, it probably is a large chunk though not sure if largest.

For example in the UK , education is about 1/6. Where as over 50% is NHS, welfare and pensions. (and only 0.3% is spent on unemployment)
