答案 Higher education today is the key to an individuals’ development and a country’s long-term success. However, it is noticeable that today a large proportion of students find it difficult to afford the increasing tuitions fees for institutions like universities. In the debate over whether governments should pay for higher education, I personally believe they should offer some financial help, such as study loans to economically disadvantaged students at least. Along with a tendency to hold that higher education is not compulsory, many people claim that it should be funded by students themselves instead of the government. This indeed reduces governments’ financial burdens to a certain extent, since the budget of the government is not unlimited, especially when considering the fact that in some places people do not even have equal access to primary education. But the limitation of this practice is also obvious—that students from impoverished families might be put at an extreme disadvantage as they cannot be guaranteed an equal chance to pursue further education. As a result, others then suggest that all costs should be borne by the government, thus making higher education available to all its citizens, regardless of their financial situation. But, in contrast, it seems somewhat unfair to those tax payers who are not planning to study in a college or university. Moreover, the theory of making governments cover all the costs for higher education for everyone is impractical. If it were otherwise, why are there only a few governments of countries with small populations now applying this policy? Therefore, I think a good way to tackle this issue is to offer government loans to those who require financial help in finishing their higher education, as it ensures economic status will not be an obstacle for students to apply for colleges or universities studies, and at the same time the government does not have to shoulder a financial burden beyond its capacities. What is more, students will be highly motivated, for they have to make the most of their time in schools so as to be capable of finding a decent job to pay off the loan in the near future.
