    Higher education should be made free for all according to the document. It argues that making higher education free would ensure equal opportunity for all to attend college or university regardless of their financial background. It would also allow students more freedom to choose a field of study based on interest rather than financial returns. In the long run, a more educated society would improve the country by progressing faster, having citizens better understand history and economics, and increasing the number of high-skilled workers.

    Higher Education Should Be Made Free For All

    Higher education is one of the most valuable and useful assets of the society which is
    required to propel the development of science, medicine, technology, arts and other fields.
    However, not every family can afford to send their children to college or university. Hence,
    higher education would become the preserve of wealthy families but the deprivation of poor
    families. I agree that higher education should be made free for all. There is a strong case for
    the government to provide free higher education to ensure an equal opportunity for all to
    access tertiary education, allow students to choose the field of study that they like, and
    improve the society in many areas in the long run.
    Firstly, making higher education free ensures equality of opportunity for all. By
    negating the large bill of a college or university education, more students would be able to
    attend college or university. Besides, it will also increase the graduation rates as lower-
    income students can focus more on their studies instead of working part-time to overcome
    financial difficulties. Thus, free higher education would enable people from various financial
    backgrounds to further their studies.
    Secondly, if higher education is made free, students might have more freedom to
    choose a major that they like. Whether it is the influence of parents or knowing that they need
    to repay their loans as quickly as possible, current students are often guided towards
    “practical” majors that have a more lucrative post-graduation income. If forking out large
    sums of money over three to four years is no longer a factor, parents and students might feel
    more relaxed about studying for majors that do not necessarily have a large paycheck
    associated with them. Therefore, free college or university education encourages students to
    choose the field of study that they have interest in rather than the field that will make a lot of
    money.
    Finally, in the long run, free education at the college and university levels improves
    the overall aspects of our society. When people are more educated, they can solve problems
    better. This means that the society can progress at a faster rate. Additionally, people with
    education can better understand the history of their society and its current economic
    conditions. As such, they may be more inclined to participate in politics and improve the
    country. Also, when more people have access to higher education, the number of employable
    people for high-skilled jobs increases. This means that more people will join the workforce,
    which could help lessen the wealth gap between the upper, middle, and lower class.
    In conclusion, an educated society propels the country to develop faster and better in
    many aspects. Therefore, higher education should be made free by the government in order to
    provide an equal opportunity for all to attend college or university, to enable students to
    choose the field of study that they enjoy, and to improve the society in general.
