In contemporary discourse, there is an ongoing debate regarding whether the government should make tertiary education free for all students. For my part, I support the notion of free higher education due to several compelling factors.
There are three primary arguments that underscore the importance of free university education. The primary factor we need to take into consideration is that a significant number of students are unable to pursue higher education due to financial obstacles, although they truly want to get degrees. Obviously, without enough financial resources, these students must give up their dreams, which is unfair to them. Secondly, the government is already wasting taxpayers’ money on projects such as space exploration—making spaceships—the funds should be spent on university education. That is to say, the government would be well-advised to allocate resources in a more sensible way. A third reason for my belief is that high tuition fees may make university education less attractive in return preventing some students from studying at university. It is widely recognized that many young people are reluctant to face their loans after graduation, which means they are reluctant to carry a burden.
While I acknowledge that students’ financial contributions to higher education help universities improve facilities, more reasonable government funds allocation can solve this issue, for which we can find plenty of evidence from our own experience.
In conclusion, I would argue that tertiary education should be paid for by the government. Accordingly, it would be generally advisable for the government to allocate financial resources in a more beneficial way.
