Free Education
“University education has now taken on the importance that a high school education had in the past, and has become a necessary ingredient for a good job and a comfortable lifestyle” (John F. Kennedy, 1917-1963). Given the importance of a university education, the fact that some people cannot afford it and that it should be accessible to everyone it’s thought that university education should be free for all. However it shouldn’t be free for everyone because making it so might reduce the quality of the education provided. In addition to this the cost of it has to be paid by someone and as the money rose by fees are used for the welfare of the students.
It’s the view of some people that university education should be free for everyone. Importance of education cannot be overstated. It contributes to the cultural and economic development of a society and to the graduate it offers more jobs to choose from. In addition to this a typical graduate earns more than non-graduates. Specifically, the US Census Bureau reported in 2004 that, on average, a college graduate earns $54,704, significantly more than the $30,056 earned annually by someone with a high school diploma. It is true that there are very ambitious and talented people out there who cannot afford to pay for a university education. Funding them is a good idea as it brings equality to people and students have an opportunity to study in universities irrespective of their financial state. Anyone who seeks out knowledge and wants to be educated should have the opportunity to get a university education. This is important because most of the time it’s the personal level of education, which determines how successful someone is in his or her life and everyone should get an equal opportunity to become successful.
On the other hand it’s widely believed that university education shouldn’t be free for everyone. One of the arguments for this being that it will reduce the quality of education. People tend be more cautious
