It is often argued that
education
 should be free for everyone. I completely agree with
this
 opinion and I think that higher

 should at least not be as expensive as it is now. First of all,

, because of too high prices, he cannot choose exactly what he dreams of. He will choose an

 that he can afford and the specialty that he wants to get may be very expensive and impossible.

 can you get highly qualified people who will love their work and be real professionals in it. In conclusion, paid

, unfortunately, has been around for many years and it will not be completely free, but it should not be as expensive as it is now.
