Instead of asking the government to bear the cost of higher education, students should pay tuition fees themselves. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

High university

tuition

fee usually brings a heavy financial burden to

students

. For

this

reason, a number of people support the view that it is the responsibility of authorities to pay

this

expenditure off for all

students

. From my perspective,

such

a policy would be beneficial to society as a whole. Undoubtedly, the cost of providing free higher

education

is tremendous since millions of

students

per year will be involved in

such

a large-scale project. Under the limited government budget,

this

newly-added expenditure will force the state to either enlarge its budget deficit or cut the spending on other necessary areas.

Moreover

Consequently

of educational resources may be wasted under the state’s subsidy.

Nevertheless

, I believe that the benefits are twofold.

First

of all, a number of

students

are not able to afford the ever-rising cost of

tuition

fees, for which they usually need to borrow student loans.

This

debt has become a heavy burden on the

students

and may affect their academic achievements.

For example

,

students

may need to work on several part-time jobs and are

therefore

unable to concentrate on their studies. Under these scenarios, the aid from the authorities can effectively reduce their financial pressure and

students

could focus more on their study.

Additionally

,

tuition

-fee-free

education

can help the state to attract high-quality

students

both domestically and worldwide. Take the universities in HK as an example, the government pays the majority of the

tuition

fees for the local student, which motivates them to study domestically

instead

of going abroad. With higher quality

students

, the colleges are more likely to produce influential researches and improve their long-term reputation. To put everything into consideration, despite a great cost and a considerable waste of

education

resources, I support those who argue that the authorities should pay the

tuition

fee for university

since
