Why does Mrs. Emenike view free education as an inconvenience in the novel, Vengeful Creditor?

Mrs. Emenike views free education as a major inconvenience, as well as a threat to her own comfort. Young people who are in school are unavailable to serve her needs, both at the market, where the only person left to carry her groceries to the car is a forty-year-old "grumbling cripple," and at home, where she depends on a staff of poorly paid domestic servants, most especially a nurse for her infant son.
