Some people think that the government should provide free education at every level. However, some say that individuals should pay for their university education. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

In the past few decades, there has been a tremendous increase in the number of taxpayers questioning higher

education

fees. On one side of the spectrum, there are those who believe that government-backed

university

education

may lead to many abusing the system.

However

, critics, including myself, strongly oppose

this

view and

instead

believe that

education

should be made free, regardless of the level, in order to bridge the gap between rich and poor.

To begin

, there is an argument to be made that free

education

should not extend to undergraduate and postgraduate levels, as many young learners would take advantage of the system.

For example

, most German high school graduates have no idea what to do in the future and

therefore

decide to go to

university

just to escape from entering the workforce.

For

this

reason, it is evident that

students

must contemplate whether or not higher

education

is suitable for them before investing significantly in their own

education

,

otherwise

there would be far too many young people abusing the system. What is more, pupils focus more on their studies and are more determined when they pay for their own

education

, as the vast majority of them accumulate student loans or borrow funds from their parents, meaning that failure would devastate them financially.

This

being the case, it can be assumed that if

university

education

were free in every nation, millions of

students

would delay entering the workforce.

Nonetheless

, despite the points made above, it must be stated that universal

education

provides opportunities to

students

in poverty with a chance to change their lives.

For instance

, the exorbitant price of

university

tuition is the main reason

students

from developing countries do not pursue a higher level of

education

.

Therefore

,

it is clear that

in order to achieve equality in society and

further

prevent the gap between the rich and the poor, the government must take action and give a helping hand to those who may substantially contribute to society in the future. What is more,

although

pupils

level often have better academic performance than their counterparts, many talented

students

tend to never apply as the amount of bureaucracy involved is often overwhelming. With

this

in mind, there is no doubt that if the government does nothing to reduce the fees of higher

education

, numerous potential doctors, scientists, and engineers may never have the chance to fulfil their true potential.

To conclude

, whilst some are under the impression that free higher

education

can result in a lazier society, others, myself included, strongly believe that making

education

free, will help

students

to lift themselves out of poverty and break the cycle. From my perspective, I am of the fierce belief that everyone should enjoy

education

without worrying about any financial debt that may
