It is thought by some that governments need to allocate more funds in education in schools rather than at universities given the reason that tertiary education is less significant. I agree with the given statement due to the facts that schools provide essential basis for students’ academic success, and schoolchildren are taught easily during their school years.
At the start of their academic journey, pupils are provided with basic knowledge to succeed further in most subjects. Most schoolchildren in Kazakhstan, just like in many other countries, are taught arithmetic, reading and writing (Main three Rs of education) which they will surely deploy in their further practice. If funds allocated by government are spent on employment of best educators, learners will have strong baseline knowledge, and they are more likely to succeed in academic subjects taught at universities.
Furthermore, children of school age are far more flexible compared to tweens and people in their mid-twenties whose brain is less adaptable to learning process. Governments funds are to be spent on equipping teachers and schools in this sector of education. At around the age 25, most adults will have their prefrontal cortexes developed which means marks them transitioning into fully grown adults, and this, in many cases, hinders their learning. So, had this phenomenon been never existent in human nature, people would not have faced the difficulties while studying at universities, especially at a comparatively “old age”.
In conclusion, even though some believe that states should financially support universities, it is undeniable that the core of education lies within school education system. I agree with the latter that suggests that, if funded, schools provide essential quality knowledge needed at young age for children. In addition, young students’ capabilities must be catered for until it is not too late.
