Another is by giving students a steep discount.In a number of ways that matter to me, educational discounts as they are typically implemented are radically different from region or need-based discounts.Who has a .edu email address? Indians are a large percentage as well.I have a completely different reaction when someone living in poor country asks for a discount than I do when someone spending more per year on tuition than I earned until my late 20s does.An even more salient question is, who counts as a student. I've spent a great deal of time as a non-credentialed student at language schools, at a programming school and even completely on my own with a self-designed curriculum.During those times, I wasn't very successful in asking for educational discounts since nearly all are tied to credential-offering schools. But you're not doing a noble thing if you're restricting a discount to people with .edu addresses.What that discount model actually does is exclude all of the students in poorer parts of the world as well as anyone who couldn't stomach going $100k in debt for a credential.As economists love to point out, incentives matter.
