The issue of whether free college education is offered all students by a government is a controversial one. Some people may argue that governments should make a huge investment to provide free college education, while others say that such investment will be a waste of money. I agree so far as free college education may decrease the inequality between students and make fair education system. However, sometimes free education may be unnecessary for some students and prevent to offer quality education. Therefore, governments should focus on improving scholarship system, end then the scholarship would ensure motivated students to have an equal opportunity for learning. Admittedly, university free education would eliminate the financial disparity between students who live a different region and have a particular background. It is unfair that high tuition fees occlude students to learn higher education in a university. Unfortunately, many students have difficulties due to the high tuition fee during their university student period. Availability and quality of education should not be limited to the rich and privileged. In Korea, for example, a lot of students have to borrow money in order to pay a tuition fee. Also, they cannot focus on their study because they must spend time doing a part-time job in order to obtain money. If college education is free to all students, students can escape such a burdensome work and concentrate on learning and develop their talents and skills. However, the free education sometimes be unnecessary for some students who does not hold particular desire of learning high education and obstacle to ensure quality education. To be specific, some student may want to gain a job right after graduate high school, and then they do not need a college degree for work. However, free college education could promote students to believe that a college degree is material to live as a well-balanced person and get a job. Primary education is surely necessary for everyone to function in society, but a higher education is not a must for everybody. In this case, the investment for students who unwanted college education would become the result of a waste of money and time. Furthermore, if too many students are converged to a specific university, the university cannot provide qualified education for every student since the number of faculty and the university fund are limited. This situation could make lose the chance to raise more ingenious and fervid students. In conclusion, although free education could eliminate the disparity between students and the motivation of free education is very revered, I believe that free education will be a waste of money and time for some students. However, I agree so far it is important to increase education investment to expand scholarship for more students who have high motivation and passion for learning. |
