Maybe partially state/federal funded education programs or free college education is the solution. We have that in Europe with some limits (only the first degree can be free) and it's working just fine. If you want private education and you can pay for it, that's fine.

Some countries do, some don't. I know several people with two free master's degrees, and some people basically collect them and PhDs as a hobby through their lifetimes -- a very small minority obviously, as most are quite done after the first.
