Education, from preschool through university, should be paid for by the government and therefore free to students. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

While some countries do not have free educational systems, and others do, it is unquestionable the importance of
this
matter
since it directly impacts the future of society.
However
, it has been debated by experts for a very long time whether it should be free of charge for those attending or not.
This
essay will shed light on the

, explaining why
education
should be free as a means to increase equality, as well as explore if it is really as expensive as many think, due to the economic benefits it brings in the future. To start,

seems. Several studies conducted by top prestigious universities around the world have stated that a strong educational system directly correlates to a strong Gross Domestic Product. As an example, South Korea was a very poor country a few decades ago, and by deciding to invest heavily in
education
they completely changed their economy for the better and are considered now a very prosperous nation. Along with a stronger GDP, something else that comes along is innovation. By allowing free access to

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
