Some people feel that the government should pay the costs of running universities so that a university education will be free for anyone who wants it. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

#people #government #costs #universities #university #education #anyone
Some people believe that the government should provide complete financial support to universities in order to make higher
education
 available to all who want it. I completely support
this
 opinion. Everyone benefits when more people are educated, and many deserving people are denied a
university
education
 because they cannot afford to pay for it. Society as a whole benefits when more people are educated. Some people may complain about supporting others'
education
 through the taxes they pay to the government. "Why should I pay my hard-earned money for someone else to go to school?"
they
Suggestion
They
 may say. But the fact is that it is not only the individual who benefits from the
education
. A person who studies to become a doctor
my
expresses possibility
may
 save the life of someone you love. A person who studies to become an engineer may design roads and bridges that you use every day. There are endless examples. Educated people contribute important things to society, and we all benefit from it. There are many smart and talented people who would benefit from a
university
education
 but cannot afford it.
This
 is not fair. Higher
education
 should not be available only to those who have enough money to pay for it.
Then
 only a small, exclusive group would be able to become professionals while many other people would waste their talents and dreams on jobs that didn't interest them. Everybody who has the desire, skills, and talents to pursue a
university
education
 should be allowed to do so. A
university
education
 should not be something that only wealthy people have the right to attain. Everyone, individuals as well as society as a whole, wins when higher
education
 is made available to all.
