State Colleges Should Be Free
Introduction
Many states across the U.S. are considering providing free tuition at public colleges, given that college education cost keeps on climbing and high school diplomas do not guarantee a living wage any more. The current, inefficient and inadequate patchwork of college aid is dependent more and more on loans which burden graduates with too much debt and very few options as soon as they enter the workforce. This paper provides comprehensive arguments as to why State Colleges should be free.
Arguments supporting the position
It will solve social problems and reduce gap between poor and rich students: Students who actually graduate have a substantially high amount of debt, and that debt will increase in case they miss a payment or are unable to find a job as soon as they leave college. In essence, they are in debt for the remainder of their lives. It is noteworthy that some employers would check an applicant’s credit, and in case they see a high amount of student debt, they will not employ the applicant. It serves to create an entire series of social problems. As such, free State College could actually solve those social problems. State colleges have to provide free tuition to every student who academically qualifies for admission. Loan-free as well as tuition-free college education would provide an essential boost to aspiring students of middle and modest means. It also ensures that the society is not cheated of its next great leader because this individual faced a purely financial bar to college admission (Kusler 12).Making State Colleges free will essentially make sure that everybody is able to attend, hence the gap between the poor students and rich students would decrease as poorer learners have more opportunity.
It will act as an incentive to attend college: Millions of students from low-income families would never apply to 4-year colleges at all primarily because they are scared away by the high cost of a college degree (Namiotka 2).State colleges are low-cost feeders to higher levels. They are also popular and recognized sites for occupational training. Making these colleges free would incentivize more people to go, and in so doing saving money as against more costly alternatives. It will strike a major blow against student loan saddles, and it shall significantly simplify the process of fiscal aid. Free higher education will offer more people the impetus of going to college and acquire a higher level education.
It will help students from low-income and middle-income families: Moreover, to the extent that it makes it easier for low-income people to attend, it will be in line with the access mission for which state colleges exist (Reed 3). The policy intended to widen college access was abandoned starting in the 1970s. Impelled by faulty theories on how best to support and help low-income students and by the budget crises of state governments, state colleges started to get less public funding and consecutively to demand from learners and their families in the form of fees and tuition. For the meantime, direct aid for instance Pell Grants started to reduce and student burden to rise. The consequences have been certainly bad considering that collective student debt at present has reached $1 trillion. Increasingly more capable learners are making the fiscal calculation that college is not worth the price (Kusler 14).There some very bright and good students who are unable to afford tuition or lack the means to acquire a scholarship, and free State College will help them considerably.
It will create a more educated and capable workforce: Free higher education would serve to create a workforce that is more capable, restore the country’s vaunted social mobility, and ensure that ambitious and smart Americans from any economic status accomplish their dreams. It is of note that the more people who go to college, the smarter our communities shall become. At present, quality education in college is costly, but people do not need to pay for quality education. State colleges need to provide education free education to people...
