According to some people, students from all economic backgrounds should be able to attend university. They believe that the government should provide free university education for everyone. Do you agree with this view?

The question of whether or not the
government
Use synonyms
 should consider making tertiary
education
Use synonyms
 available to all learners has been the subject of recent public discussion. Higher
education
Use synonyms
, in my opinion, should be free regardless of income, based on the grounds that it would benefit both individuals and society.
Firstly
Linking Words
, one argument in favour of eliminating
university
Use synonyms
 fees is that there are many learners who are unable to pay for their
education
Use synonyms
, despite their strong desire to obtain degrees. Without sufficient financial support, these
students
Use synonyms
 have no other way to fulfil their dreams. Even in cases where
students
Use synonyms
 can afford to pay for
university
Use synonyms
, they often have to take out loans and work part-time to pay for their living costs.
This
Linking Words
 can severely affect their grades, and
therefore
Linking Words
, their future career development. It can
also
Linking Words
 leave them with large debts to pay when they finish studying. These financial barriers may discourage highly talented
students
Use synonyms
 from pursuing a
university
Use synonyms
education
Use synonyms
.
Secondly
Linking Words
, no
country
Use synonyms
 can prosper without an educated population, so funding free
university
Use synonyms
education
Use synonyms
 is a long-term investment into the future of the
country
Use synonyms
. Taxpayers' money is arguably being misused by governments on initiatives like space exploration. If a
country
Use synonyms
 can’t educate its population, there is no sense in investing large amounts of money into ambitious space projects. A far more sensible distribution of
government
Use synonyms
 funds could allow thousands of
students
Use synonyms
 to fulfil their dreams.
This
Linking Words
 would lead to a more educated society, which would, no doubt, benefit the
country
Use synonyms
 as a whole for many years (to come). In conclusion, free
university
Use synonyms
education
Use synonyms
, regardless of income, is crucial for any society seeking sustainable progress. Expensive tuition fees may discourage some individuals from pursuing
university
Use synonyms
 degrees, as young people are often unwilling (reluctant) to carry the burden of their loans for many years after graduation, making
university
Use synonyms
 less appealing. The
government
Use synonyms
 should be responsible for the cost of tertiary
education
Use synonyms
.
Hence
Linking Words
, it would be appropriate for the
government

 to better distribute financial resources in order to do
