Q. Some people think that everyone has a right to access a university education and that the government should make it free for all students, regardless of their financial situation. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is generally believed that governments should provide people with the right to free university education, regardless of their financial situation. In my opinion, offering free university education to everyone would be problematic and therefore should only be offered to certain special people.

A good reason for this view is that having free higher education for all would put tremendous financial pressure on the country. Universities will not receive income from fees, and therefore, they will rely entirely on government funding. This requires borrowing funds from other priority areas, such as the health care system, to allocate money to universities. For most countries, especially developing and underdeveloped ones, this would not be a financially viable option.

Another point to consider is that providing free higher education to all people will tempt many people to go to university, whether they are interested or not. In other words, rather than taking a job, some young people would prefer to get a degree to which they only apply with little enthusiasm. This will not only be a waste of the country's financial resources, but also a waste of human resources.

Finally, the best solution is to keep the university fees, but still offer scholarships to gifted students from poor families. This ensures that talented and intelligent students who cannot afford to pay for a college education continue to receive their education. As a result, society will benefit if the right people are trained and valuable financial resources are not wasted.

To conclude, abolishing university tuition fees is impractical for many countries, but providing free places to certain students with limited financial resources is a much more efficient use of a country's resources.
