Whether governments should be wholly responsible for university fees remains controversial Some people think that by doing this, governments can encourage all people to enhance their education while others claim that it is a huge waste of money for them In my view, disadvantages of freeing education outweigh advantages of this policy
First, it is claimed that education is the right of every person Hence, he or she is entitled to reach higher level of education without payment However, if governments free education as an equal right, all other fields like health-care will demand the same right Therefore, no sooner does this policy come true than all
Trang 2services in the society are on the house, leaving no profit for workers in each field
to earn a living, let alone dig deeper into their fields In such countries where education is a service and students are obliged to pay fee, schools have enough fee
to maintain facilities and hire the best teachers to educate As a result, they can produce the most outstanding students like Havard and Yale Universities which demand high fees, but offer reputed training
Second, this policy is conducive to the creation of high-skilled labor With each citizens receiving higher education like tertiary, governments are proud with their best workers to produce the highest quality products and achieve significant economic growth Nevertheless, because of being exempt from education fees, students take knowledge for granted, which leads to their lower academic performance In addition, while governments are supposed to shoulder a variety of tasks from diseases, defense to political relationship, it will be burdensome for them to be totally in charge of education without sharing of each citizen Furthermore, although people claim that poor, but outstanding students may have little access to higher education, which is a disadvantage to the society in the long term, governments can provide scholarships and grants for these special individuals This means that being totally free from education expense is unnecessary Equally important, for students who are responsible for education fees, they will be actively motivated to work part-time jobs to pay for their higher education whereas they accumulate a variety of living skills from economic independence, seriousness in learning to time-management
In brief, there are more pains than gains in the policy of emancipating students from university education fees By paying fees, not only do students become serious in learning, enhance several skills, but teachers are also given higher salaries to sharpen their teaching ability and governments are less burdened with numerous social tasks
