Tuition Free Public Colleges And Universities

As a recent analysis, America’s colleges and universities are quietly shifting the burden of their big tuition increases onto low-income students, while many higher-income families are seeing their college costs rise more slowly, or even fall” (Eskow). Though education is the basic human right, most of the people in the U.S. are not being able to gain it as because of its rising cost. Since the 1970s, tuition and fees at public institutions have increased by more than 350 percent, while pay for working- and middle-class households has stagnated. As a result, the cost of a public-college education now accounts for almost 15 percent of the average family's annual income; 40 years ago it was about 4 percent (Kenneth W. Warren and Samir Sonti). The tuition and fees are increasing in such a way that the young Americans aren’t as educated as the young citizens of many other developed countries. The U.S. ranks 14th in the world in the percentage of 25-34 year-olds with higher education (42%).” When all adults of working age are considered, the US is still one of the highest-educated countries in the world. But when this age group is considered, we are falling behind (Richard Eskow). That’s the personal loss for the young people of the U.S. Education is not a privilege of the rich and well-to-do; it is the inalienable right of every people. It is a powerful tool by which people can lift

Public Education reform has emotional, political, and economic ties due to the impact America endures from the public school system. New American Academy writer Yehudi Meshchaninov writes,

Only 5 percent of Americans ages 25 to 34 whose parents didn’t finish high school have a college degree. By comparison, the average across 20 rich countries in an analysis by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development is almost 20

As globalization continues to increase in today’s world, so is competition in the job market amongst students. With students in the US producing inferior results, many of these jobs are out of reach and difficult to get due to foreign competition. Ultimately, in order for students to be successful, the US must reconstruct its public education system.

The education system has been the cornerstone of freedom and equity for economic success in The United States. However, the history of education has never been so crucial to the collective future of our nation and to the young people. The public schools must struggle to provide equality in educational system as never before. The demand for education has become necessary and growing to provide education for all students to comply with the rigorous academic standards on a global scale (Baker, B. D., Sciarra, D. G., Farrie, D. (2010, p. 1).

Recently, there has been an immense amount of debate regarding school choice in the United States. The focus on ‘school choice’ may be viewed as a manner to allow some students from poor neighborhoods to seemingly attain an education of quality. Despite this, I believe that shifting the focus away from truly improving funding mechanisms in the United States public education systems, only further devastates an institution deeply riddled with inequality. Although school choice gives families options in regards to the education of their children, not all of the options are perfect. With the current administration, Betsy DeVos has shifted critical funding supports in the proposed education reformation plan. This does not address systemic issues

The federal government’s control over education is too invasive. Students should not be expected to perform as compared to a country-wide standard, as each student’s learning abilities are different. Common Core testing is a poor, national standard that does not properly measure a student’s intelligence. The Tea Party believes that the Obama administration is trying to change the education system through “the back door” the inventors claiming that the common core raises the “education quality” when it in fact does not.Nationalized standards represent the heavy presence of the federal government and must be put to rest. The federal funding of schools is a poor solution to solve educational problems. One cannot simply use money as a kind of band-aid, expecting higher funding to result in better education for America’s youth. The government spends an average of ten thousand dollars per student each year, totaling $550 billion. This money is being thrown away and can be put to better use elsewhere. Federal involvement in no way results in a better education system and must be limited.

What is a degree worth if you are jobless? Many politicians are pushing the idea of a free college education, which on paper sounds great because underprivileged families that cannot usually afford college can now get education for free! Don't be fooled, because a plan for free college education nationwide would be very detrimental and pointless for America .

Nowadays the United States is not known for their educational system. Countries like South Korea, Japan, and Singapore have surpassed the United States buy large margins, in terms of educational success. While other countries are constantly revolutionising their education system, the United States’ education system has not changed in decades, leaving the U.S. unsuccessful. The U.S. continues to fall behind these same countries that are thriving. Due to the fact that the U.S. education system not developing as time went on, leaving them now with a multitude of flaws. The gap between the educated and non-educated, along with the length of how long students are in elementary and high school, are two consequential problems in the United States’ educational system that need to be addressed.

America’s education system has recently been a concern for many people. A recent international test “shows the U.S. trailing behind educational powerhouses like Korea and Finland.” (The Atlantic) In addition, the U.S. was 26th out of the 34 countries who took the International Student Exam; considering the U.S. has the world’s largest economy, this rank is abysmal. If the U.S. wants to improve their education rankings, they are going to have to look at countries who are currently seeking success. Two of those countries, Finland and Korea, approach education quite differently than the U.S; nevertheless, their methods seem to be working for them.

Public colleges should be free to everyone who has the right academic smarts. if they qualify for the school they should be admitted for free.

The American dream is to have a degree, because without a degree life is impossible. Now a days it is nearly beyond reach to have a college education, because most people can not afford one. Although, being able to get a free higher education seems like a dream, it surely can damage our economy. In other terms, “there is no such thing as a free lunch.” College is not actually free, it comes from taxpayers, and although having a higher education is important our economy can not handle paying for college.

One of the things that is very important in the United States is education, but over the course of the years many cuts have been made in colleges and universities causing tuition prices to rise. Many people have very strong opinions on this issue. Some politicians have proposed their approval in making college more affordable for students who want to pursue their dreams with a plan that promises to find a solution, but others completely disagree. Having a free college education for students would bring many benefits because it would help students reduce student loans, benefit the United States economy, and there would be a more educated society.

It is no surprise to anyone that America is in a financial crisis, and student debt is becoming a rising conflict in our country. The future of my generation is important, and we need to take the time to set proper standards towards our approach to higher education for future generations. There are many advantages to obtaining a college degree, such as higher annual salaries and a larger pool of careers to pursue. A reoccurring factor today is whether or not higher education should be provided for free in the United States. I strongly oppose liberal views that propose higher education be provided for free nationwide, but support facts that steps should be taken to provide higher education at an affordable rate, and simultaneously focus

In recent debate senator Bernie Sanders had suggested to impose the College For All Act. As President, Bernie Sanders will fight to make sure that every American who studies hard in school can go to college regardless of how much money their parents make and without going deeply into debt. This act would result in free tuition for all undergraduate students. Now this act may cause a bit more harm than it would do good. The social stratification in the United States is based off of roughly six social classes; upper class, new money, middle class, working class, working poor and poverty. Based off the same principle that general education is today, in which
