The Importance Of Free Education In The United States

In the United States public school funding are provided by the government. Every child no matter the race, gender, or physical disabilities have to attend school, until they have graduated high school. Although, children here in the United states are provided with opportunities to succeed in school, many take this for granted and drop out. While many kids all over the world are struggling to earn an education. Kids in Afghanistan, Brazil, India and Japan are struggling to earn an education, while as a country we take education for granted.

Advanced technology and forms of communication have changed the way we look at our nation. The current political climate and the cultural movement that is happening in our nation is going to go down in history as a revolution. A revolution where news headlines are instantaneously on our phone screens, and thanks to our advanced technology, a whole world of information is a few clicks away. However, despite these advancements in technology, the cultural change in America is often slowed down because there is a general lack of education. In America, education is the one, if not the biggest barriers that economically and institutionally suppress an overwhelming amount of the nation’s adults. Majority of adults in America do not have basic reading and writing skills yet education is still not a priority in America. There is a crucial need for education in America, now more than ever. In my opinion, the only reason for the current political climate in America is the lack of education that brings basic awareness. The solution to what we are witnessing as a nation is an education that makes individuals aware of the reality of our circumstances and allows them to see a perspective from multiple points of views. In this paper, I will present my argument on why education should be made a priority in America.

`Education is the most crucial part of each and every person’s life. But the higher tuition fee is the serious problem seen in America. Student are not able to go to university after completing their high school due to the monetary problems. They are studying till the high school as the education is free up to that level and after that they are compelled to stop their further education. Rising tuition fees is the today’s burning issue of the United States. Removing tuition hurdle allows everyone to achieve their goal. The escalating cost of higher education is causing many to question the value of continuing education beyond high school. Providing world-class education system for everybody is the prerequisite

As shown, there are strong arguments for and against free college. Thompson, Golden and Katz provided strong evidence that free college would be beneficial. However, the case against free college is more convincing. As shown earlier, free college for all will not proportionally help poorer students. That is wealthy students who do not need assistance will gain the same advantage. Not all students want to go to college or would benefit from it. Yet, these same people will be required to pay for free college through their taxes. There is little evidence that free college will increase graduation rates as more unqualified students enter the college system. Finally, and maybe most important, the resources are not available to ensure students receive

College is a head turner, eye catcher, and attention grabber. From making the decision to even attend to selecting the perfect school, the whole experience turns out to be incredibly stressful and multiple aspects go into what seems simple at first glance. The cost of attending college is on the rise. Parents and students anxiously await scholarship letters to help with these rising costs of education. State schools usually offer a financial advantage, but a new “law” is being proposed - free in-state college tuition to those students with a 3.5 GPA or higher. Few benefits are available and numerous disadvantages are present when it comes to this recently produced regulation. A few negative factors in this situation will be covered and the explanations will go into depth to prove that this idea is too good to be true. Even though the conception of free college is enticing, the cons outweigh the pros.

In the United States of America, College education should be universal and free for all students. According to the department of education, the statics show that at least $60,000 graduate college student will be in debt after coming out of college, and if these college graduate attended an Ivy League even more will increase up to up ward of $100,000 in more debt even before these students get their first job.

In the fall of 2017 about 3.6 million students were expected to graduate from high school in the United States. In the same year, 20.4 million adults in the United States were expected to attend an american college or university (NCES fast facts tool). Almost five times the amount of students expected to graduate high school were attending a source of higher education. From these statistics I came to the understanding that there are many people who don’t go to college right after high school or who are going back to college after a break. A big reason behind taking some time between highschool to college or not going at all can be due to the high price for higher education, “For the 2015–16 academic year, the average annual price for undergraduate tuition, fees, room, and board was $16,757 at public institutions, $43,065 at private nonprofit institutions” (NCES fast facts tool). For some this may not be difficult to afford, however the national average income for Americans was $43,642.15 in that same year (2016)(Sue Kunkel). Consider a family of five who makes the national average of $48,640, trying to put three kids through college at the same time. It would be difficult to successfully put all three kids through unless they were given scholarships or financial aid. I think that it is misguiding to reward only successful high schoolers with higher education opportunities because then we aren’t making education a priority

Everybody is entitled to a high school education however, not everybody is entitled to a college education. If college were free, more people would treat it like a high school course, where they will skip, be disrespectful to the teachers, and not do

In Michael Gonchar’s New York Times article “Should a College Education Be Free,” he is discussing President Obama’s proposal to allow college free for students attending community colleges. In the article Gronchar states that in order for the suggestion to work the federal government would have to comply. Considering the fact that the government is not the type to hand out money, people were stating that this is merely an opinion rather than fact. However, the president ecstatically acknowledged that the proposal will proceed and that the government would pay three-quarters of the cost. The presidents’ action had triggered a numerous amount of questions such as “What money is this coming from?” including “Should college be

Tricia Jenkins graduated from Alvin Community College in Alvin, Texas, with a certificate in court reporting and now earns $78,000 a year working for a law firm in Houston. She showed the success that can be achieved with a community college education; however, many students cannot afford this education. In the United States, 52% of students struggle or cannot afford community college with 83% of students struggling to afford a four-year college. This causes many students to start college, and then have to work jobs to pay for it, and in many cases drop out. Consequently, only 29% of students who enter two-year programs complete their degree within 3 years, and only 56% of students who enter a four-year program complete their degree within 6 years. This means that many students leave college and end up with hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt, sometimes without having even received a degree. The aforementioned point causes many careers to become unattainable for those that cannot afford to complete their degree. This has caused many people to advocate for free community college nationwide so that everyone has access to the resources necessary for success. Overall, the opposition for and against free college has caused the price and affordability of college to become a contentious issue in the United States.

College is for people who want to take their learning to a whole other level. It's for the kids who are extremely bright, or whose parents just have enough money to send them to college. The former can receive scholarships from schools so that the recipients don't have to pay for college fees. Making college admission free would be a huge mistake, for a magnitude of reasons. First, the people who actually receive scholarships are the people that the college actually want, and are usually picked out of millions of applicants. They are the people who might go on to become the next Steve Jobs or the next Stephen Hawking. Already, in junior high school, kids are saying that as soon as they get to high school, they're going to drop out, because

Do you know anyone who would like to go to college and get a degree and then get a good job to do their part for society but they can’t because they do not have the money to pay for college? Today in 2017 in-state tuition for the university of KY is $6,626 per semester for an undergraduate, and that includes the tuition and fees plus books and supplies. Out of state tuition for the university of KY is $30,928 per semester and that includes your books and supplies, tuition and fees plus your living costs. I feel that people not having the money for college is a major issues all around America and I therefore think that the government should provide free college for first-time college students to get their bachelors and masters degree. Some might argue it is just an excuse for people to party, this is why I also feel that there should be regulations that you must abide by.

Education is defined as the act of acquiring general knowledge, developing the powers of reasoning and judgment. Having the freedom of education allows everyone including women to have the opportunity to learn and be able to adapt in the industrial world. Through the use of different rhetoric, Yousafzai and Clinton demonstrate the importance of women's rights and education in society.

College Education should be free. Initially, my first reason will be about how it manages to help poor students get an education. Furthermore, my second reason will be about how more people would be able to venture onto college. To sum up, my last reason will be that students will have more freedom to choose a major they enjoy. Here is my information to prove this.

Education is a elemental human right and essential for all other human rights. It is a powerful tool by which socially and economically marginalized children and adults can lift themselves out of poverty. It also consists of the right to freedom of education. Freedom of education is the right given to human beings to have access to the education of their preference without any constrictions. Right to education is a human right recognized by the United Nations. It includes the entire compulsion to eliminate inequity at all levels of the educational system.
