Many people today find that the cost of attaining a University-level education is extremely high for the students and their families. What are the causes of this situation? and how can governments, Universities and the students themselves overcome the problem?

While

a growing number of young yearn to attend

university

, the

costs

incurred can prove prohibitive in some cases. The origins of

this

situation seem to be

due to

three factors,

whereas

many resources, three of which are explained below, seem open to us. I think the ever-soaring daily

costs

as well as

university

efforts to progress at the same rate as the Technological boom can be quoted as the main reasons why many find

university

fees

exorbitant.

However

, many resources, notably, the reintroduction of state funding, delivery of professionally paid

university

courses

,

as well as

change in students’ mindset regarding the time to apply for a

university

place, seem open to us. I think two reasons may well explain why many think

university

tuition

fees

are intolerably high. One major cause underlying the high

costs

of

university

tuition

fees

is the cost of living. Daily

costs

are on the rise, and, regrettably,

this

appears to be a global trend. One provision of the essentials appears overwhelming, predictably, many, especially people with limited financial resources, may no longer be able to meet their daily

costs

in addition

to their already intolerably high

costs

. An additional well-known reason could be the rapid evolution of today’s technology. Universities often find themselves in a competitive situation where they have to keep pace with the latest cutting-edge technological developments. As

such

, the greater and more accessible the technological devices at educational bodies, the greater the expenses for students to sign up for

university

courses

.

Such

astronomical

costs

are often evidenced in industrialized nations

such

as the USA where the

fees

are exorbitantly high to the extent that many are deprived of education in the first place. Despite the apparent financial obstacles, a coordinated response by the state, the institutions, and the individuals may well lessen the severity of the situation. One possible approach is to reinstate some element of state funding. Even though public budgets are under pressure these days, if we took that step, access to

courses

would be greatly enhanced for low-income people. A second step might be that universities offer shorter programs or more

courses

with an embedded element of professionally remunerated work experience. If these

courses

were more accessible, the question of living

costs

would be reduced to some extent.

Finally

, students themselves may need to adopt a more flexible approach to education. and contemplate applying for a place at

university

at a later stage, or possibly only when they have accumulated sufficient funds to support themselves. In summary, the factors of funding and cost of living appear to be the main causes

while

the mentioned solutions, I think, may well help to make the cost of

university

financially more accessible to students.
