Education should be free for everyone. Do you agree or disagree with this statement, and to what extent?

Education

is a valuable resource and it advances

society

. If there are certain barriers to receiving

education

like costs, many students would lose the opportunity to pursue an

education

because of

this

.

Therefore

, I believe that everyone should have access to free

education

without limitations. Without a doubt,

education

is a tool and it advances

society

and with free universal access to

education

, there are no limits to what a country and what a

society

can obtain. A perfect example of

this

is Germany, where universities are now tuition-free.

This

has allowed Germany to educate anyone who seeks it and has helped them to become competitive on a global scale.

Hence

, if all countries developed the same philosophy towards

education

as Germany, I have no doubt that

society

will benefit. Some may argue that paying for

education

helps drive competition between institutions and helps to develop stronger schools.

However

, I completely disagree because I believe

this

restricts social mobility. Costs to

education

create another barrier to those in a lower social class.

In other words

, if a student would like to pursue a degree in higher

education

, but cannot afford the high tuition rates

then

he or she will be unable to

further

their

education

.

On the other hand

, if every person of

society

is allowed to move forward,

then

all of

society

will benefit. In conclusion,

education

is essential to any

society

and restricting access to it because tuition limits societal advancements. It is important that we eliminate any sort of barriers to

education

, including costs.
