(22/10/2016) Some people believe that people have the right to university education, and government should make it free no matter what their financial background. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some

people

hold the belief that

university

education

should be made free for everyone despite their financial status. While

this

idea may be beneficial, I partly disagree with

such

a point of view. In

this

essay, I will delve deep into both sides of the argument and give out my logical conclusion. On the one hand, there is a school of thought agreeing that

university

fees should be funded by the

government

because

university

education

is vital for everybody, as it provides them with knowledge and skills needed for their future career.

Additionally

, many companies are more likely to hire

people

with

university

degrees rather than those who do not have degrees.

Therefore

,

people

could have more opportunities to get a well-paid job and constant income if they study at

university

and acquire a tertiary degree.

However

, if

government

wholly funds

university

fees, there would be an enormous strain on

government

budgets as well as the finance of society.

On the other hand

, the

government

should be under no obligation to finance students with their

university

costs because providing free tertiary

education

might make

government

and society bear a financial burden. As a matter of fact, there is social welfare that requires annual

government

expenditures to maintain

such

as health care and transportation. Funding free higher

education

for everyone would mean more money has to be spent by the

government

.

This

either pushes the

government

to the verge of bankruptcy or levies higher taxes on citizens. In conclusion,

although

free

university

costs may be beneficial to some extent, I partly disagree with

such

a point of view and believe that

people

should pay their

university

fees.
