Topic:
Educating children is expensive and in some countries the government
pays some or all of the costs. Do the advantages of the government
paying for children's education outweigh the disadvantages?
Investing
in education is investing in human intellectual capital, which in turn
is vital to the creation of high-skilled workforce and the long-run
development of a nation, however the question arises as to who should
pay for this. To be more specific, should the government subsidise some
or all of the costs or should we leave the cost to be funded privately?
Some
people claim that partial or completely subsidised primary and
secondary school education, if it is entirely funded by the government,
may diminish the incentive for students to strive harder. However this
is not the case, as low cost or free education in fact offers
significant opportunities for children from low-socio-economic groups or
from rural areas, whom might not have access to academic schooling
otherwise. There are numerous benefits stemming from this, namely
bridging the gap between urban and rural areas, the rich and the poor,
along with bringing more equal opportunities for people and creating a
larger more highly qualified workforce for our society.
On
the other hand, there are some that allege that government subsidised
public schools tend to be of poorer quality, both in facilities and
teaching staff compared to private schools, and that they may suffer to a
greater extent in an economic downturn, when the government needs to
cut spending. This argument becomes quite lacking in the face of
evidence of a consistently good level of quality public education in
many countries over long periods of time. Although private education may
provide a better educational environment on the whole, people still
have the freedom of choice, from both tiers of private and public
schooling, based on their finances and the type of education they need
for their children.
Taking
all the views above into consideration, publicly funded education has
overwhelming advantages as it makes learning available to the more
disadvantaged groups in our society, hence contributing to equality of
opportunities and utilisation of human resources in an economy.
Therefore, it can be argued that the cost is justified in the light of
present and future benefits.
