Higher education could be funded in three ways. All costs paid by government, all costs paid by students or students paying all costs through a government loan. What are the advantages of these choices?

Higher

education

is important for both individuals and society as it enables individuals to pursue a more satisfying job and better life and provides society with a more innovative and productive workforce,

although

it can cost a large amount of money.

Therefore

who should pay for it is a question worth considering. The three given options, government paying all costs, self-supporting, and

students

paying the cost through government

loans

will be discussed in

this

essay in terms of their advantages.

Governments

paying all the fees can ensure all qualified high school graduates the opportunity to receive higher

education

and to pursue a better life through it, irrespective of their economic conditions.

For instance

, people from low-income families can attend universality without paying

then

find jobs with high salaries after

education

and improve their living standards. An obvious advantage of

students

paying the cost by themselves is that

governments

’ financial burden will be eased. As they can save money on

education

, the budget can allow more money to be spent on other urgent public affairs,

such

as poverty, health security, or unemployment. Paying through low-interest

loans

from

governments

certainly lessens

students

’ stress, compared to the

second

option. Undergraduates do not have to do part-time to support themselves while studying but can pay off the

loans

later after being full-time employed.

This

option will not cause too much financial difficulty for

governments

either, as they can expect the repayment of the

loans

and even a small amount of interest. In summary,

students

paying by themselves could motivate them to study hard but may harm

education

equality.

Governments

paying tuition fees is best for

students

’ welfare but burdens itself. In comparison, offering

loans

is a compromised and most feasible way to supports

students

to embrace higher

education
