UNIVERSITY SHOULD BE FREE

Thesis statement:

To help student in low income in free university.

Introduction:

In recent years, the number of people who have been attending university greatly increased,
consequently, arguments have continued as to whether students should pay for this prerogative or
not. Without doubt everything has its two sides and the problem of whether the university fees
should be paid by taxpayers or not is no exception.

Body:

Improve Society
When people are more educated, they can solve problem better. This means that society
can progress at a fast 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 their country. Also, when more people have access to a
college 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 classes.

Widened Workforce
Along with technological progressions comes a shift in the workforce. Most automated
jobs are replacing low-skill workers. Automation is spreading quickly across positions that
require repetition, like back-office tasks. However, automation is not meant to replace the entire
workforce. Instead, the needs of most economies are shifting to require a more skilled workforce,
with people who have good analytical skills and creative thinking abilities. These skills are both
taught and honed with a college education. If more people could attend college for free, then the
workforce will expand. The workforce will also be more agile. In the case of an economic
downturn when one industry falters, another generally rises to replace it.
Increase Equality
Since affordability is a major issue for so many people when it comes to attending
college, the playing field has not always been equal. A lot of the brightest minds in the world
stem from low-income households, but that shouldn’t hold them back from continuing their
education. If there was an equal opportunity to attend school, then everyone would have the
chance to go to school. Affordable education is a major step towards equality.

More Focus
When students are not worried about money, they can focus better on their studies. Even
when students have loans and financial aid, they may find themselves stuck worrying about how
they will have to pay them back in the future. This added stress can negatively impact their focus
during the time when they are supposed to be learning.

A Boosted Economy
Most students graduate with a massive amount of debt. For example, in the U.S., the
average student debt per person is $31,172. When students graduate with debt, they will likely
continue to add to their debt with interest. As such, it can take many years before they manage to
dig themselves out of debt that only seems to keep growing. In the meantime, these delays
spending on such things as buying a house or a car. On the other hand, if people were to graduate
without debt, that could fast track their ability to earn, save, and spend. This helps to stimulate
the economy. With increases in consumer spending, there is more demand. More demand in
spending also relates back to higher demand in the workforce or more opportunities for
employment. This spurs a positive cycle of economic activity. Furthermore, the fear of being in
debt can cause students to avoid school entirely. But, if the debt wasn’t a reality, then the
younger generation may feel more motivated to go to school in the first place.

Claim or argument:
University should be free because it would help those students who are low-income
financially to help them to study in universities.

Counter claim:
There are plenty of students who would love to go to college but simply can’t be due to
the excessive cost of attendance. And some even must drop out because they do not have the
ability to pay for tuition for all four years. In fact, over 50% of students drop out of public
universities because they can't afford it! 79% also delay their graduation because they must
switch to part-time or return later due to costs.
Rebuttal:
Since everyone can afford one, it may become more commonplace and could lower
salaries for those who already have a bachelor’s and those who graduate. It could also lead to
individuals working in spaces they’re overqualified for due to over-saturation or require those in
certain fields to now get a master’s where it wasn’t a requirement before.

Conclusion:
University should be free because it is a fundamental right and a public good. It promotes
equality, social mobility, economic growth, and civic engagement. By making education
accessible to all, we invest in a brighter and more prosperous future for individuals and society.
