Essay: Governments should pay full course fees for students studying at
universities. Agree or disagree?
In contemporary scenario, due to the extremely significant increase in the
hardships of a variety of families’ financial burdens, especially low-income and
needy ones ; thus, a multitude of individuals argue that tuition fees should be
fully paid by governments. From my perspective, I partly agree with this idea.
On the one hand, it cannot be denied that free accessibility to higher education
can have substantially societal benefits. To begin with, by investing in high-
quality education, governments can foster a highly professional workforce,
which is indispensable for economic enhancement and innovation. For instance,
in the globalized era, countries with well-funded educational institutions often
have a strong advancement in fields like science, technology, and healthcare,
which are crucial for national development. Additionally, education has been
regarded as the fundamental cornerstone of every nations’
enhancement ;therefore, by eliminating financial burden in all families thanks to
financial assistances of governments, they can create an equitable society with
progressive education where all scholars, regardless of financial situations, have
more precious opportunities to achieve their academic goals.
On the other hand, it is absolutely vital to acknowledge that fully removing
course fees may not be feasible for all governments, espeacially countries with
limited economic resources. First of all, providing all households with
overextended financial support can lead to increased taxes and potential
declines in other public services such as healthcare or social programs. Another
noticeable issue is that free education can diminish students' sense of
responsibility. When students have to pay for their education, they will feel it is
actually valuable and complete courses seriously and comprehensively. In
contrast, if they are not forced to pay anything, they will think that it is the
gorvernments’ responsibility and not their duties; thus, they will be
considerably distracted from their studies, not pay attention to the process of
acquiring new knowledge and even not appreciate the value of education.
By way of conclusion, from the ideas I mentioned above, I’m convinced that
while the government taking full responsibility for scholars’ tuition fees brings
a variety of benefits to the development of currently modern society; however,
it also causes a bunch of potential drawbacks affecting the advancement of each
country, especially ones with unstable economic backgrounds.
