A university education is the key to getting a good job. For that reason, the government should provide enough money to the universities so everyone can get a degree for free. To what extent do you agree?

 graduates.
Therefore
, many people would like universities to be free of charge.
However
, my own view is that
students
 should make some contribution towards the cost of their
education
University
education
 is expensive and, for many people, unaffordable. In fact, tuition fees continue to rise, perhaps because recent advances in technology are forcing universities to invest in more equipment. Many very bright
students
 are unable to pay tuition fees; it would be unfair if they could not get a degree. It is

health service, transport infrastructure and so on. In conclusion, there are good arguments to be made for and against free

. Learning is a very important process, but not the sole priority for our government. On balance, I believe that
students
 and their families should pay as much of the tuition as they can, and government should pay the remainder.
