Education Free For All


At first, lets see doctorate opinion. Education has become something of a commodity
that only the rich can afford. Aaron articulates how public education no longer remains public.
He draws the analogy of a toll road, ..does the driver care who owns the road? I doubt it; the
important thing is whether the road is free and open to all or whether it can be used only by those
who can afford to drive on it. (Brady). Students from under-developed nations travel across the
globe in search of a good education because their state systems are unable to provide a good
education system especially at the higher levels. Such tendency has become one of priority issues
as numbers of students from low developed countries travel abroad to get free education and stay
there after graduation because of higher rates of life. This raises the issue of appropriation of
funds, both external and internal. (Humanitarian). The issue is talking about who can get
education, and how they going to pay their fees.
Level of education, as much as life, in poor countries is extremely low, like Africa and
Middle East, so numbers of young people try to find any possible way to leave such countries.
One of the best decisions for those who has good grades, is an opportunity to study abroad for
free to go to The USA or China and get education and diploma in highly developed country.
More than 100000 students are traveling abroad to The USA or to the biggest countries every
year while taking place in different educational programs (World). But there is still a huge
problem of education within developed countries, because millions of children from poor

families have no chance to finish schools because of lack of money to study there, and only few
of them will have a chance to enter colleges or universities with the help of current educational
programs. As an example of my friend, he is from poor family and he decide to come to America
and then he couldnt pat the fees because he is international so he has to pay more than the
citizen. In fact, in his article on Project Syndicate the Economist Jeffrey D. Sachs writes, When
the worlds governments launch the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) this September
[March 19, 2015], they will rightly put education for all children at the forefront, alongside
ending extreme poverty, hunger, and death from preventable and treatable causes. Such
measurements will provide much more chances for children from low-income families to get
better future, while giving them more chances to get education they need. By giving them
scholarship or give them jobs to work after school.
Although, an activist Angus Johnston write his own opinion on this situation in his article
Free Education For All? (Johnston). Students hailing from non-affluent backgrounds have seen
a rise in college fees so it is not as though free education will in any way benefit rich kids as
Matt Bruenig tries to argue. He further rebuts Bruenigs claims that free education is like creating
a welfare program for poor kids and writes that Bruenig completely ignores the case of
independent students, students coming from middle-class backgrounds and students working and
studying on loans. His article therefore falls neatly in place next to Bradys argument and wraps
up typical criticisms of free education. (Johnston)

An economist Jeffrey Sachs gave the lest opinion on the situation from financial side, that
we wrote in a related article. He said: In a knowledge-based world economy, a good education
is vital for finding decent work. And l though this is in direct contrast with Aaron Bradys

argument, the fact of the matter is, until it is otherwise affected, that education is a means to an
end and that end is economic productivity. Through the lens of an economist therefore, but in
support of our argument nonetheless, education is necessary for all. Sachs argues that between 15
to 30 billion dollars will go into the cost of making all public higher education free in America.
In an article on the Huffington Post Bob Samuels argues that this will in fact save America a lot
of money.(Sachs) Making the education free and givig chances to the poor students. It will
improve our world and saving us more money. As an example, the tuition is 4000 dollars in the
semester and let us say every year we have two semester and for four years will will save
32000dollars which is a lot of money. Also we got people educated and they are a real humman
being. I meant they have better thinking becuse they have educated and the world will change
and everyone will get better life.
