In order to study at university students are required to pay expensive tuition fees. Not all students can afford them so some people think that university education should be free for everyone. To what extent do you agree?

for everyone would put a tremendous financial strain on a country. Universities would have no income from fees and,

, they would rely completely on the state for funding. Doing

means taking funds from other much needed areas,

such

as the health system, in order to allocate money to universities. For the majority of countries, particularly developing and underdeveloped countries,

this

would not be a financially viable option. Another point to consider is that offering all people free tertiary

would tempt many people to enter

whether they were interested or not.

In other words

This

would not only be a waste of a country’s

a waste of human resources.

Finally

, the best solution would be to keep

fees, but

still offer some free places to gifted students from poor backgrounds.

This

would ensure that talented, intelligent students who cannot afford to pay for higher

education

would still get educated and trained.

As a result

, society would benefit by getting the right people trained and valuable financial resources would not be wasted. In conclusion, abolishing

countries, but

offering free places to particular students who have limited financial means is a much better use of a country’s resources.
