Modern societies need specialists in certain fields, but not in others. Some people therefore think that governments should pay university fees for students who study subjects that are needed by society. Those who choose to study less relevant subjects should not receive government funding. Would the advantages of such an educational policy outweigh the disadvantages?

People
have different opinions that the
government
should pay tutor fees for
students
whose majors are needed by society.
Additionally
, those whose majors are less relevant should not receive
government
funding. In my view, I do not believe the advantages of the educational policy outweigh the disadvantages, I will discuss the reasons for
this
viewpoint in
this
essay.
Firstly
, the main advantage is
government
funds should be used in areas that are more prioritized and useful to the residents.
For example
, like public transportation systems, water conservancy
facilities
electrical
facilities
et cetera, those
facilities
have a more direct impact on
people
's daily lives.
Government
should spend expenditure on those policies to increase
people
's welfare significantly,
however
,
students
should pay their own tuition fees
instead
.
Secondly
, despite these advantages, the funding supported by the
government
would be abused by
students
.
For instance
, In Taiwan, we have a college major
that is
government
-paid for
students
, and after
students
graduate, they need to work for a
government
institution. The
government
provides tuition and jobs that will make the
students
who do not know what their passion is, they will apply for
this
major, but that would occupy the opportunities which
students
have passion for, or the
students
really need the funding for study.
Therefore
, the funding in specialized subjects will let
students
not choose other subjects which do not have support from the
government
, and abuse would be a problem resulting in unfairness to
students
. In conclusion, the
government
spending money on livelihood
facilities
would enhance
people
's living quality, meanwhile,
students
paying their own university fees would not result in all
students
applying for the major which has been supported, which could avoid the abuse and the cause of
students
who are really interested not being able to apply for the faculties they want.
