20170708--Topic: Some people think governments should provide free education at all levels to children, while others believe university students should raise their own fees. Discuss both opinions and state your own view.

SAMPLE 1
2222-2259
Education has been playing a pivotal role since the dawn of human civilization and people in modern society are divided as to whether tertiary education should be free or not. Some people expect governments to provide free education to children at all levels while others believe they should charge fees for higher education. In the following essay, I will assess both views and present my opinion.

The idea that all educations should be free is far from groundless. In the first place, like medication, transportation and several fields, education is a critical social sector that will determine if the community could develop healthily and sustainably in the long run. Therefore, education deserve heavy investment from the governments. If the education system in a society is healthy, dynamic and freely available to all individuals, it will surely devote enormously to the advancement of the individuals in particular and the community in general. Ideally, investment in free education will pay off in the long term.

Nonetheless, some people hold it that college students should raise their own fees and they seem to be more practical people. The ideal situation is that governments could provide as many free public service as possible, but as a matter of fact they have to make an annual budget and use the revenue carefully. They governments would allot money to various sectors according to their priority. Primary, secondary and higher educations are all significant; however, due to the limited revenue of the governments and due to the fact that even in the most developed countries in the world only about half of the population would attend higher education but most would go through primary and secondary education, it is sensible to ask colleges students to pay fees.

With both vies being discussed, I believe it is reasonable and practical for students in higher education to pay fees, not only because governments have limited revenue but also because most college students have come of age and they should shoulder their own financial responsibility. Unless the society is exceptionally affluent, otherwise the budgetary deficit would skyrocket if free tertiary education is provided and higher tax for individuals would be the consequential price to pay.
