Tertiary Education

Emirati students have a chance to finish their tertiary education for free. It is a great opportunity that many students from other countries do not have. Many people think that Emirati students should pay for their tertiary education. On the other hand some people think that it’s their right as locals to have free education. In this essay I am going to discuss the arguments for and against the idea of Emiratis paying for their education.
Many people think that Emirati students should pay for their tertiary education. They believe that this is fair for everybody. Moreover, students are careless about attendance. This is because they have not paid a penny for their education. Parents will be more concerned about what their children are doing in the college from the academic side as they are paying for them. Added to this, students will have to work in part time jobs which will give them more experience for the future.
On the other hand, I firmly believe that the Emiratis shouldn’t pay for their education as they have the right to have a free education as long as they are Emirati. Making students pay for tertiary education makes only rich people educated and leaves poor people behind, this is going to divide the society in to two groups educated and illiterate. One point worthy of mentioning is that having a free education is attracting more students to complete their studies and makes education affordable for everyone.
There is no doubt in my mind that education should be totally free because it is unnecessary and pointless to pay for education. Education is a right for every person.
