People have different views about who should pay the fee of university
education
. Some believe that the
government
should totally fund tertiary
education
, as the social benefits the most if youth are highly educated.
However
, I disagree with
. I firmly believe that the students himself benefits the most.
Proponents of free tertiary
education
cite a host of benefits. They say that if higher
education
were made free,
then
the whole society would benefit.
That is
why in all developing
has been a strong effort to raise the
education
level of the society by putting as much money as possible into providing educational institutions. Developing countries cannot move ahead without enough educated professionals
such
as doctors, teachers, scientists and engineers. Governments in
such
countries provide scholarships or free
education
to as many students as they can possible, because they realize that the whole country would benefit. Many developing countries
also
try to offer free tertiary
education
because they want
highly educated populationSuggestion
a highly educated population
.
On the other hand
, there are many credible arguments against free tertiary
education
.
Firstly
, the individuals themselves get so much benefit from tertiary
education
that they should pay for it. Doctors, lawyers, accountants and engineers have some of the highest earnings in most societies. So, it is justified that the
government
and
therefore
the taxpayers should not pay for students who will later earn more than anyone else.
Moreover
, most students come from the middle class and their parents can afford to pay their fees.
Furthermore
, it is
also
that if a person gets something free, he doesn’t value it that much. Because of free
education
, the university classes would be full of non-serious students, who would spoil the decorum of classes. Many students would
also
not compete their
education
and
mid way. In
such
cases a lot of
government
money would be wasted. As it is, the
government
has a lot on its shoulders.
Therefore
, it would be wrong to put the entire burden of university
education
on its shoulder.
To conclude, it would not be wise to put the cost of tertiary
education
the
government
and so the cost should probably be paid for by the student himself or through the loan, which must be paid later.
