Can free higher education be possible and if yes how possible and fast can it be and what is it’s effect on people in the country??

  • As we all know free education is education funded either by governments or charitable organizations and it’s given to all students of eligible providers. With the help of free education lot of people that can’t afford university tuition fees will be able to attend universities and they won’t have any problems or worries about having to pay their university fees because everything is funded by the government.

There are some countries in the world where free education is provided to the people there and they have the access to study free or at a low cost. The names of these countries are, Denmark, Finland,Ice land, Norway and Sweden and all this is regardless of their study level and nationality.

So it’s possible that they can be free higher education for all because there are some countries already and the countries that don’t have a such program just have to go into it and this can be done with the help of the government, charity organizations and the rich people in the country or anyone that it’s willing to help provide free higher education to everyone in the country or the world at large and I know if there is free education for everyone the world Will be a better place because those that has lost hope, from a poor background,and can’t afford university’s fees will be able to go to school to study and this will make them happy including their family too.

The rate of crime will reduce In the world and it will be nice to see that literate people (people that can read and write)are much more than illiterate people who are those that can’t read and write in the world and it will be so nice to see people studying without having to go into debts, borrow money or worry about how their bills are going to be sort out and it will be nice to see students studying in a comfortable place with adequate facilities too because to make everything better when free education is provided there must be adequate facilities provided by the government for the learners. With the help of free education, there will be steady economic growth because new innovative ideas will be born by the students or learners who enjoy its benefit and this will make the world a better place.

The most important thing is free education is going to give aspiring university students the opportunity of selecting their course of choice and they won’t have to settle for another course or major because of money because there are some majors like medicine, law, the engineer that do requires a lot of money for tuition fees and for textbooks and some others things that will be required.

As we all education is the key to a safe life because a person that has been impacted with knowledge will be different from a person that has not because education develops the critical thinking of a person into a positive one.

But do you all know there are disadvantages to making education free for all?
We pay for what we value and give our best to it because we won’t let our money, time and energy go to waste and that’s why you see most students in school this day who don’t even love school take their time to read and make sure they pass and did well in school because they won’t want their money or parents money to go to waste so they have to give it their best. But if education is free to all there will be people in the world that will be benefiting from it and won’t value it because they are not paying a dime so it will be better if those that are going to benefit from free education will be screen well and make them undergo exams, ask them questions and see if they are ready to study before they are admitted or given access to free education.

With all this being said, I think the advantages are much more than the disadvantages so it will be nice if there is free higher education because it’s what everyone wishes and prays for.

Thank you for reading to the end.

The most wealthy people and the most un educated people in this world are the most successful most of the time a lot of the business men a woman have come away from school with no qualifications. I do not believe schools are of any value anymore they dont teach any sort of life skills needed or any kind of business . schools need to be brought up to date and start teaching subjects that will be of use to the person latter in life when they leave there education .

kids learn more now days from the internet and things like youtube than any school teaches them I didnt learn anything at school that has been any value to me apart from the basics like maths and english apart from that ever other lesson was pointless and gained nothing from it . everything I have done after that I have learnt my self .

After the basics of maths and english all you would need is drive and ambition to work if thats for yourself or for someone else learn as you go on the job if you are thrown in the deep end you will learn and you learn from mistakes. I have dyslexia and I dont believe in the school system as it stands and when I was at school like I said I took nothing from it apart from basic english and maths the rest of the classes I have never used anthing from in my life or work it needs a serious re work .

Wow I enjoy reading this comment and truth be said it’s true that school don’t taught us some life skills that will be needed in life after school which students are suppose to because a lot of people will graduate from school without job and those who don’t even have the knowledge of education all have the certificate which is very bad but that’s how the government is and only If things come to be good then things will change.

Well written @mercysugar, free education is beneficial sometimes and sometimes it's not. Sometimes we don't know the value of something until we have to pay for it but then there's no money 💸.

If we show that we value our time and energy more than money, we meant actually not take free things for granted.

Thanks for sharing 😊☺️

That’s why we have to pay even if it’s little and scholarship can be given to people that are worth it which means people that value education and loves it.

Wow nice content my dear.
U are right in a way but look at things, free education isn’t helping at all because it free and it not quality.
I’m saying that because I and you know that everything that is free is not quality or let say people don’t value it because is free.
So I think is good for us to always pay school fees so that we can value everything about it.
I really enjoyed going through your post.
Thanks for sharing my dear.

And yes the best thing they can do in terms of free education is reducing the tuition fees and I think it will be more better if people pay little instead of much.

Great points there, although I'm of the opinion that many will take it for granted it it's given freely.

Free education can never be effective and quality till the end of its initiative. It has been a headache in our country here in Ghana. After it’s implementation, schools are now complaining of low quality food, inadequate facilities including classrooms to contain students, etc.

Too bad all this is happening over there.

Education is birthright of every human. We all accepted but there exist some students who don't allow to finish their education because of their financial crisis. If education become free, it will be better for them and it will be better for the country also.

I know right and I really wish that there is free education.

I'm not sure if free is the way to go. The money has to come out from somewhere and I doubt taxpayers will appreciate having their taxes raised to fund this. That being said, there're plenty of scholarships available for high achieving students too.

That’s just it because if it is free that will be a lot on some school private owners and it will affect them.
