Students should pay the full cost for their own study, because university education benefits individuals rather than society. To what extent do you agree or disagree.

It is believed that students have to cover all expenses for their education as university courses bring about advantages to the learners rather than benefiting society as a whole. I disagree with

this

view for the following reasons.

Firstly

, when student financial aid is provided, more people will have access to tertiary education.

As a result

, they will have a better chance of securing a job, leading to a lower unemployment rate.

This

will undoubtedly go some way towards reducing crime as the root cause of crime is lack of unemployment and job opportunities. Statistics show that in most cities, the higher the college enrollment rate is, the lower the crime rates are, which is a testament to the positive impact of tuition fee subsidies on making society safer.

Secondly

, if the financial burden that undergraduates have to shoulder is eased, they can divert more effort and time to social and community projects that universities are frequently associated with.

Such

projects have been contributing greatly to helping the underprivileged.

For instance

, most universities in Vietnam have voluntary clubs to help impoverished families in disaster-prone areas repair and renovate their houses. If grants, bursaries and scholarships were to be dispensed with, students most likely spend their free time working part-time to cover college costs, rather than partaking in

such

activities to give back to society.

To conclude

, providing public subsidies for tertiary education studies does not only make educators themselves a service but

also

the public thanks to the decline in criminal activities and increase in students' participation in voluntary work :33
