Families who send their children to private schools should not be required to pay taxes that support the state education system. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

#families #children #schools #taxes #support #education #system
Some
people
 believe that
taxes
 for supporting the
education
system
 must not be forced on parents who send their offspring to private
schools
. I cannot agree with
this
 statement. In my opinion, it is not a fair idea. Paying
taxes
 gives an opportunity of accessing to the public
education
 to all youngsters through the development of
schools
 and colleges. First of all, paying
taxes
 helps to develop a better
education
system
 for all groups of society. The government could build new
schools
 in poorer parts of the country and improve the quality of
education
.
For instance
, in Iran, we have several states
such
 as Sistan where
people
 do not have enough budget to send their offspring to private institutes. So, the government should develop public
schools
 to observe educational justice and free access to higher
education
 for all juveniles.
That is
 why all
people
 including rich households should pay
taxes
 for
education
 because those
taxes
 constitute a significant part of developing the educational
system
.
Secondly
, if wealthy
people
 do not pay
taxes
 for the
education
system
 the main cost of developing
schools
 falls on the shoulder of poor families. Unfortunately, most of that families cannot afford to pay that amount of
taxes
 for their children, and youngsters are forced to leave school.
As a result
, society will lose numerous talents from these children who could serve their country in the future.
To sum up
, paying
taxes
 for the
education
system
 facilitates the development of
schools
 and colleges and all juveniles can continue their studies.
In contrast
, Non-payment of educational
taxes
 by wealthy families slows down the development of
schools
, especially in the poorer areas, and many children are deprived of
education
.
