All education should be free to all people and paid for the
government. This statement has caused great controversy over past decades.
On the one hand, it should be free since there are poor who
are smart, intelligent and capable, yet the states provide no education for
them. How would you feel knowing that your life is never going to get better
because you don’t have the opportunity? Another argument is economic
development. Finishing school and pursuing a career will allow you to get a higher
standard of living hence economic development.
The last argument for free education is economic growth. If everyone
gets a well-paid job, they will
contribute to society by becoming taxpayers. The state will be capable of
improving the country.
On the other hand, it shouldn’t be free as the tax would need to increase to provide free
education and not many people are pleased with the idea. However, if the tax doesn’t increase, we will get a mediocre
education. This is seen in Peru where there aren’t even enough schools and
universities.
In addition, if everyone gets educated, no one would want to
take the low-paid jobs. An example is Spain. An ex-CEO prefers no to work
rather than to work as a taxi driver.
In conclusion, I do think that education should be free
since it’s our right to get the opportunity to improve our lives. Yes, it can
be very expensive for the state at first, but the advantages are invaluable to
our society.
