Some people believe that everyone has a right to have access to a 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?

Post-graduate

However

, most courses are expensive, allowing only a privileged minority to access them. Given

this

unfair disbalance, some argue that countries should enable all their citizens to enrol on higher

training, no matter their financial status. I fully agree with

this

view, since I believe the more people that can receive

education

, the more progress a nation can have.

To begin

with, politicians should see

education

as a future investment. By using part of their budget on scholarships for low-income families, there will be an increase in university enrollment. In the long term,

providing a return on investment.

new companies or build more touristic attractions in the region.

Additionally

, there should be no impediments to acquiring knowledge.

In other words

, access to high-level

education

should be considered a universal right. If one is passionate about a subject, it should not be a matter of wealth to pursue those desires. Imagine how different today´s world would be, if

for example

, Thomas Edison, would have been born in a low-income family, which was unable to afford high tuition fees. Maybe, we would be living in a world without lamps.

Moreover

, it is most probable that nowadays we are missing a major breakthrough that someone with no resources could have made if that person would have acquired more skills. To conclude, I support the idea that tertiary teaching should be free of charge since it will result in a country´s growth and future discoveries for the entire world.
