Education is the backbone of a nation, and the development of a country largely depends on its educational policy. The high cost of university education is still a reason many talented individuals cannot afford a university degree, and I strongly believe that it should be the government’s responsibility to make university education free for all.
First, the government has a huge budget for the development of the education sector, and the money could be better utilised by ensuring university education for talented individuals. The difficult admission process at the university level selects only talented students to take part in university education, and they should be backed up by government funds to let them concentrate on their studies. In order to encourage graduate students and professionals to further their education, the government should pay for their courses as it would bring more benefits in the future for the country. Many European countries have already implemented this method, and they have a huge number of skilled professionals who not only serve the country but also the whole world.
More importantly, when citizens are assured that the government will bear the cost of their children’s university education, they are generally more interested in preparing their children for the university degree rather than sending them to work and earn. This would have a significant positive effect on the education level of the whole country. By supporting university course fees, the government would create more skilled professionals, and without them, the development of the nation is quite impossible in this ever-accelerating era of science and technology.
In conclusion, paying for the university course fees by the government is indeed an effective measure for ensuring quality education for talented individuals and for an overall progress of a nation. So I reaffirm that university education costs should be paid by the government.
