The proposal which is said to cost the government $163 million per year is yet to be approved by the government.
New York: New York's governor unveiled a proposal on Tuesday to make tuition at public colleges free for low and middle-income students, an idea championed by US Senator Bernie Sanders during his White House run.
"Today, college is a mandatory step if you really want to be a success," Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo said, noting that the average American student carries $30,000 in debt.
