Education is the birth right of every human being. No matter the color, caste, gender or race. And when it comes to education, expenses sometimes become huddle in the way. In order to terminate this problem, many institutions have introduced different types of financial aids. Such as scholarships, etc. Now the point is that, is it enough? Or should it be totally free?
I personally think that tuition should be totally free. But only for the deserving. For instance the education system of India is very partial. All the facilities are divided on the basis of caste. 80% of the financial aids are for the scheduled caste students. Even most of the job opportunities are for them. I studied for a year in India. I used to pay 80,000 rupees (approx. 1600 CAD). Whereas scheduled caste students payed just 2000 rupees (approx. 40 CAD). I used to pay almost forty times than them.
Secondly financial aid should be for extremely intelligent students. The students who want to achieve something in life and are working really hard for that. It happens a lot that when something is given for free. It is not valued. But there are a lot of students who need these kind of opportunities and they can definitely take a lot from it.
Lastly the student debts will no longer be a burden for lower income students. As they will not have to pay excessive amounts of fees for studies. They will have a better learning environment. A lot lower stress levels and they can easily focus on their goals in life.
