Since university funding benefits both university students and society as a
whole, both parties should bear some of the cost of university educations.
University students gain both personal and economic benefits by attending
university; however, society also benefits by having a more educated
population. In addition, it is important that all members of society have the
opportunity to attend university regardless of wealth. In this essay the various
models of funding for university places will be discussed.
There is little doubt that people who attend university usually benefit through
higher salaries and greater opportunities. It is therefore reasonable that society
expects students to make some contribution to the cost of their education.
However, expecting students to fully fund their own education may cause
students to avoid courses that lead to less well-paying jobs such as the sciences,
nursing and teaching.
Society as a whole also benefits from having a more educated community and
should support people who make an effort to become educated. It is therefore
reasonable that governments also provide money for university places,
particularly when the cost of doing a course or the return for students
discourages them from completing a course that is needed by society.
The funding model that is used for university placements is also very important
as governments have a responsibility to provide an opportunity for all
members of society to attend university. Deferred repayment of fees through
low cost loans and the partial subsidising of university courses by government
are effective methods of ensuring fairer access to university education since
they allow people to pay for their education when they are best able to afford
to.
In summary, university education benefits both individuals and society and
both governments and individuals who receive a university education should
make a contribution to the costs of tertiary education. In addition, it is
important that appropriate loan schemes are in place to ensure that access to
university is available to all members of society.

Few people are of opinion that it is the responsibility of the schools to hone the skills of children. I disagree with the notion that the educational institutions should be responsible for developing the children into good parents in the future. This essay will discuss the reasons for this and the requirements to be a skilled parent.
It is of paramount importance that the centre of learning should give priority in teaching the academic subjects rather than the parental role .Even though the children are made aware of their future role as parents and how to play that effectively, it would in no way help in fetching a job, a successful career or attaining financial stability in life which are the most important benefits to be reaped out of education.
Another reason is perhaps, it would not be an effective method since the teenagers might not have the maturity to understand the responsibilities of a parent. This is because, they have to connect the happenings in their family to the subjects taught in the school, which is again too much strain for a child. In this way, it can be argued that teaching the role of parents in schools would not be pragmatically fruitful unless it is intuitively assimilated from their parents and family members.
In regard to the competence of a mother or a father, there are several things to be considered; first and foremost is the abundance of love and care, secondly strict rules to discipline their life, thirdly responsibility, fourthly doing things that the children would find inspirational and lastly to be able to educate them. What’s more is expertness in handling finance so that the children can have a better healthcare, food, education and relaxed life.
To conclude, the academic subjects should be concentrated and taught in schools, as it had been until now since it is the most integral part education. This is not only because of the mindset of juveniles but also to extirpate such classes and let them learn from their own parents during the course of life.
