Some people believe that everyone has a right to have access to university education and that governments should make it free for all students no matter what financial background they have. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is believed that everyone is entitled to attend tertiary
education
and governments should cover higher
education
tuition for all
students
regardless of their socio-economic background. Personally, I disagree with the view that
university
education
is free for all because
this
would have a negative impact on
students
and
society
as well.
To begin

themselves.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
