You incentivize this by attacking the problem directly - which is to realize that the cost of education is not rising due to scarcity, its rising because of misguided administrative practices and budget allocations.

Quality educational materials are certainly not more scarce today than they were 50 years ago, or somehow astronomically more expensive today.

Quality educators are not astronomically expensive and costing students more. In fact, educators are being chased from the classroom because we treat professors and teachers as a cost center and have systematically eliminated long-term confidence in career stability by replacing career professors with graduate students and adjuncts.

There is, however, quite a bit more demand for college degrees today than 50 years ago.
