children education is expensive. In some countries, the government pays some or all of the costs. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

Nowadays educating children has become expensive. As
such
, in some nations, the
government
bears part or all the costs involved. I will say the benefits of
this
act outweigh the drawbacks.
To begin
with,
education
forms the pivot to societal development. To achieve quality
education
, a nation requires multiple school buildings across the country, qualified teachers, devices like computers, chalks, writing boards and furniture. To acquire these is capital intensive.
Therefore
, channelling national funds to
such
a foundational area is key to brooding qualified personnel in the country. It is very expensive to train people in some fields compared to others.
For instance
, medical training in Ghana is a lot of
money
.
As one
Correct word choice
One
show examples
has to purchase very expensive textbooks, pay for tuition and obtain electronic devices for learning
as well as
the multiple medical devices used to practise.
This
simply means beyond good grades, caretakers should be capable of funding the medical training of their wards. But in reality, not all brilliant students are from affluent homes.
Hence
, the load pertaining to fees when subsidized or completely taken over by the
government
, brilliant but needy students who dream of becoming doctors will have their goal realized just as their well-to-do mates from good homes. To add to
this
, most accommodation facilities at tertiary institutions are quite pricey. I agree there's a need for the
government
to support the payment of these so that shelter does not become the burden of a young mind that's supposed to be focused on studies.
However
, the
government
has other projects like the health sector to channel some
money
to. And truth be told, there are very wealthy families in society who can afford very expensive formal
education
for their children.
Therefore
, it is not logical for
such
persons to enjoy free
education
as the lawmakers need to save
money
to channel them to other important areas. In my opinion, the
government
may run at a loss in its quest to help everyone's
education
. So, the
government
should be selective in those whose tuition is subsidized so it can put to use the remaining
money
for other projects for the benefit of the whole nation.
To sum up
, I agree that
government
support for
education
whether partial or full is more advantageous than disadvantageous and should be encouraged.
