Students should pay the full cost of their own university studies, rather than have free higher education provided by the state. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

There is an ongoing idea that students should pay the full cost of their higher
education
, rather than having one provided by the state. While I can imagine the reasons for
such
a suggestion, I completely disagree with the idea.
Firstly
I think that in our society we should have easier access to university and
education
in general. Paying expensive tuition fees will only make higher
education
exclusive to the richer. In countries that do not provide free or even semi-subsidized, paid university tuition students get into a huge amount of debt early in their lives.
This
can even discourage some of them from pursuing higher
education
. A country and a society can only prosper from having young well-educated and motivated people, which cannot happen if an entire generation works
for example
on a construction site.
Secondly
, every government collects taxes.
This
money should be an investment for the prosperity of the people.
Also
,
this
investment will be paid pay back over

since tertiary
education
graduates will obtain better jobs and have a positive influence on the economy. I personally believe that raising taxes is a better solution than requiring payment for university
education
. It closes the circle - more young adults graduate their higher
education
, get well-paid jobs, pay higher taxes and make room for the new generation to “spin the wheel”. In conclusion, I personally think that keeping universities free is beneficial for both the people and the state.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
