There are a number of reason why university should be frеe.

First, greater equality. Free university education enables everyone to


have the opportunity to study. If there are tuition fees, students have to
take out big loans to finance their studies. They will take years to pay
back the money. Young people from poor backgrounds are less able to
get into debt, but students whose parents are rich can pay off their loans
more easily. Tuition fees, therefore, are very unfair. Free university
education will be a step towards a more equal society.
Second, the benefits for society. Young people who graduate benefit
society as a whole. They use their knowledge and skills to help other
people. When the number of people who get a university education rises,
the number of people who benefit from their education also rises.
Third, the economic argument. Higher education produces a more
educated and qualified workforce. Countries with high rates of
university education have higher levels of innovation and growth. They
attract foreign investors and create new businesses which lead to more
jobs for their citizens. Because people who go to university will earn
more, they will pay more tax. As a result, there will be more money for
essential social services such as health, education and welfare.
So, many poorer young people, who don't have rich parents to rely on
will be put off by the high cost of studying at university even if loans are
available. Their talent will be lost to our country. Free university
education is a right, not a privilege. It would bring enormous benefits to
our society.
