I totally agree with you , and also they must pay attention that a lot of people are poor and I don't think that all of us can pay the huge amounts of fees that colleges want, so in this way we will have a lot of unemployment people , and for sure they will find it so hard to live like.

I think education should be free of charges at all its stages from primary to secondary to university. higher education is a right to every student who has evidenced hard wok and a high level of responsibility and self reliance in learning. Fee paying colleges make education an elite product. These higher education institutions, therefore reproduce the social inequality as Bourdieu, the French educationalist affirmed.

Ideally it should yes. In Germany, for example, it is free. The thing is though in Germany they don't just let anyone into university. You have to be intelligent and work very hard. In the UK it's not like that. If you have A-levels there is bound to be a degree program somewhere.

Learning should not be out of anyone’s reach.Learning and education should not be privileges enjoyed only by the wealthy , and it is morally wrong for teenagers and their parents to be forced to incur thousands and thousands of dollars in debt for an education, in this way parents and teenagers will feel more exhausted from all of that, and this will reflect badly on the students lives because they will think a lot about which college they will go?, how much they will pay ?, and more of different questions will make the student destructed and disappointed

I think that core areas should be supported by government. However hobby like degrees, Literature, Fine Arts, Theology, Gender studies should be paid in full by students.

Should college education be free?

The Government already provides pretty substantial student aid programs in which students can potentially go to College for free or a limited cost. Federal Grant programs are offered at around nearly $6000 per year, state grant programs with eligibility for 6 years, although they vary by state, are typically between $1000-$4000 per year with eligibility for 6 years, Stafford Loans go up to $60,000 for undergraduates disbursed with $12,500 per year basis, Perkins Loans for those with extreme need are several thousand per year, etc. etc.

Then, the average student is eligible for about $48,000 in grants (i.e. does not have to be paid back--"free money"), and $60,000 in low interest rate loans, which is a figure of $108,000 for undergraduate study alone--with more offered for graduate school students and those with demonstration of extreme financial need. If played right, one can attend a big state school program (e.g. like UCLA, Michigan, Ohio State, University of Florida, etc.) essentially free of cost or with limited low interest loans that one is allowed forgiveness on. Considering this, it seems that the 'average' person is very much unaware of the (rather generous) offers that the government already has guaranteed for them. One of the major issues, as I see it, is the dependency vs. independency status which links a person to their parents until they turn 24 years old. If this would change to 18 years old, then people would have a lot of opportunity and control over their lives with a potentially very bright future easily available--if planned and used in a sensible manner.

Absolutely, the debate on free college education is complex. Considering the evolving landscape, modern education should align with the times. I recently came across an insightful article on the five compelling reasons to study electronics in university(link). It highlighted the industry's rapid growth, the impact on technology advancement, and the diverse career opportunities. Such articles contribute immensely to understanding the relevance of specific fields in our ever-changing world. While the question of free education is subjective, it's crucial that education remains accessible and aligned with the needs of the future job market.

Nothing is free. The question is should we pay for our own school and pay off our own student loans, or should we pay taxes forever and always be paying for everyone's school?

I would like more taxes to go towards education, and it should be easier to get an education.

You will be paying for your education either way. Loans or taxes.

Side: con-free college education

College is advanced learning. High School, which is the minimum for a job, is standard. You pay for college as a means to show that you are mature enough to start taking your own initiative to learn.

Contrary to what the media makes it seem like, you don't need college to get a good job. Sure it'll help, it adds some great credentials and if you really are interested it'll teach you more about the career you are seeking.

Yet if you get lucky you can fall into a job right of high school, or you could go to a trade school for a specific role in society.

''Yet if you get lucky you can fall into a job right of high school, or you could go to a trade school for a specific role in society.'' OK I agree with you but when you will have an academic certificate from a well known college you will have a job easily and you will get a good salary , specially nowadays companies have a lot of strict laws and one of them that you have to get a degree .

Easier is not what the country tries to do for you. They give you a fair shot at happiness but only to the point where you're not straggling, if other people have things that put them ahead the country should not be required to make you even with them.

colleges will never be cheaper , if they are going to make it cheaper they will add more fees every year and in this way will not get any benefits .

To be more responsible I think not every one should have free educaction. After I sow a lot of students don’t caring about what their country I became against because they never will care if they don’t feel that they don’t have a chance to go to collage .

But we cant measure that on other students and we cant blame them because others are irresponsible , this kind of students is not the majority there are a lot of students who love their countries and care about their future.

we can also teach students how to care and be more responsible thats why we have teachers , and I am sure that a lot of students can be changed but if we just taught to care more.

I am against free college, but after reading the arguments on each side of this debate I feel that education needs to be enhanced in this country. People need to take something as simple as the English language more seriously. Every time anyone posts an argument on this site the have a chance to do a spell check and a preview, but most of the post in this argument have misspellings or wrong words. First we need to get a better pre-college education system in place (especially compared to other countries), then we should make a college (further education) more affordable to lower income (but serious/qualified) students. Free college is stupid, a lot of the people that pay for college shouldn't be there. Too many of today's college students use it as a four-year f--kfest, instead of an educational experience.

I am not trying to fight. I think I am making a valid point. The purpose of debating is to express your own opinion clearly and to be able to understand the other persons opinion clearly. The best way we, as humans, can express specific thoughts is through language. Language is governed by specific rules (grammar, spelling, semantics, and so on) this is what should be taught to America's students i.e. a college education. I don't think I was being impolite, I feel my point was germane to the stated debate topic. Please offer a counter point, if you have one.

No, you should have to work for it. If everything in America is free, then the nation collapses. Plain and Simple. I do, however support bringing the price down... It's pretty ridiculous.

Saying one thing should not be free because of problems with everything be is fallacious. The country benefits from a well educated work force, and improving the overall education of our nation would bring high paying jobs to this country, which would improve the growth of wealth and national income via taxes, helping pay for the cost of college.
