University education should be free to everyone, regardless of income. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#university #education #income
Higher discipline should be accessible to everyone, no matter what family background he comes from. I cannot entirely agree with
this
 opinion; the reasons are as follows.
Firstly
, free access to universal fundamental
education
 has put the government under heavy financial pressure, while it is a basic right for every citizen, as a taxpayer, to become literate with free primary
education
.
By contrast
, higher
education
, considered the
last
 step in formal
education
, is
also
 a privilege, for not all people need to be scholars.
Besides
, an efficient as well as sustainable higher
education
 system, which is subsidized by abundant funding, is critical to a nation’s prosperity. Governments and
university
 commissions pay a lot for offering quality
education
, which aims to cultivate talents like professors in high-tech fields.
Thus
, it is fair that
university
 students pay for their own tuition fees to access
education
. The fees they have paid will
also
 be used to upgrade the campus facilities and hire high-quality teaching faculties to maintain the quality of higher
education
, achieving a stable and balanced development of universities.
Second
, free tertiary
education
 will possibly lead to the waste of educational resources. Beyond dispute, not all students are suitable for higher
education
, and some people can create more value on manual work. To charge tuition fees will allow high school graduates to think twice about their career plans, rather than go straightly but aimlessly to
university
. Some of them may choose to be wiremen and plumbers, honing their hands-on skills while helping to reduce the shortage of manual labour forces. And people who are eager to be degree-seekers can be admitted to
university
 to
further
 their
education
. Overall, higher
education
 should be charged to reach a balance between the cultivation of talents and the utilization of social resources. Not offering free high
education
 does not mean discrimination against the students from poor family backgrounds.
Instead
, they can easily apply for scholarships, bursaries, and loans to achieve their dreams in studies.
