In recent years the coast of education had escalated rapidly, which had started an argument about whether education should be free or not. I’m going to talk about this debate in my presentation. First and foremost, that you should free college and school would definitely have various advantages for under-reserved students and students from different socio-economic backgrounds. To illustrate, every and each student would have educational access and would be equally able to pursue their dreams and achieve their potential. In addition, if the coast of education was reduced, it would encourage students to stay at school. As it would incentivize them by removing the financial burdens, they would be able to pursue higher education and additional qualifications. However, if the coast was reduced, it would also have drawbacks. For example, overcrowding and increasing the graduates across various fields would lead to an oversaturation of job market, potentially devaluing certain degrees. In addition, educational quality may decline over time as schools and universities would be unable to retain schooled educators. In conclusion, balancing both sides, primary and secondary schools may remain free. However, higher education, incorporated scholarships and affordable loans, this hybrid approach could decrease pressure on government finances, allowing quality to be preserved while also expanding access of education.

In recent years, the cost of education has escalated rapidly, which has sparked an argument about whether education should be free or not. I'm going to talk about this debate in my presentation. First and foremost, free college and school would definitely have various advantages for underserved students and students from different socio-economic backgrounds. To illustrate, every student would have educational access and would be equally able to pursue their dreams and achieve their potential. In addition, if the cost of education was reduced, it would encourage students to stay in school. By removing the financial burdens, they would be able to pursue higher education and additional qualifications. However, if the cost was reduced, it would also have drawbacks. For example, overcrowding and an increase in graduates across various fields could lead to an oversaturation of the job market, potentially devaluing certain degrees. Additionally, educational quality may decline over time as schools and universities struggle to retain qualified educators. In conclusion, balancing both sides, primary and secondary schools may remain free. However, for higher education, incorporating scholarships and affordable loans in this hybrid approach could decrease pressure on government finances, allowing quality to be preserved while also expanding access to education.
