Some people believe that university students should pay all the costs of studies because university education only benefits students themselves, not society as a whole. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

With the high tuition rate

graduate qualifications, most governments, foundations and even rich individuals have come up with schemes to cover some or all of the cost. Certain people,
however
, have argued that
this
is unnecessary, their main point is that
university
education
benefits only those who go for it. I completely disagree with
this
notion, graduates are advantageous to society as a whole, and scholars contribute immensely to the advancement of the
world
, even so, we simply cannot live well without them. The main reason I believe impecunious students should be assisted is graduates' substantial contribution to the
world
's progress. It is no secret that every invention was made by a
university
graduate,
for instance
, a layman could have never come up with the idea of an aeroplane, the process of refining petrol or the internet, to name a few. They have been and can only be achieved by trained professionals.
Additionally
, it is easy to encourage youths to go to school when they don't have to worry about the cost, which gives them the possibility of good-paying jobs and
consequently
reduces a nation's crime rate. When people go for higher
education
, studies have shown that it refines their minds and helps them to develop a sense of responsibility.
This
is why convicts,
for example
, are often persuaded to pursue a degree even
while
in prison.
Besides
development, we could never survive without professionals like health workers, lawyers, engineers and so on. Evidently, these are all
university
products. Suppose that these workers did not go to school

There is no doubt that the
world
would stop if
university
graduates indeed were beneficial only to themselves. In conclusion, despite the claim that students should not be helped regarding school fees, because of failure to see the numerous benefits they bring to the
world
, it is apparent and I concur that one of the best ways governments and others can spend funds is on
education
. They should come up with more and better strategies that enable and encourage higher
education
