政府是否應向學校出高等教育提供經(jīng)濟支持 Whether the government should provide financial support to the higher education

There has always been a consensus opinion about who should pay for elementary or secondary education, but a controversial discuss has arisen about the responsibility of payment for higher education. It is true that everyone has the right to get education including higher one as long as he or she has the willing and ability to reach. Providing education to the general public is the responsibility of any government that imposes tax and allocates part of it into such fundamental social sector as education. Universities equip students with specialized knowledge and skills which make capable labors for the society and ensure sustainable development of the society. However, in reality, totally depending on the government for university tuition fee is not a wise, pragmatic way of improving the educational level of a country.

關于誰應該為小學或中學教育付費，一直是一個共識意見，但一個有爭議的討論已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)了關于支付高等教育的責任。確實，每個人都有接受教育的權利，包括高一個人，只要他或她有意愿和能力去實現(xiàn)。向公眾提供教育是任何政府對稅收的責任，并將其分配給教育的基本社會部門。高校為學生提供專業(yè)的知識和技能，為社會提供勞動能力，保障社會的可持續(xù)發(fā)展。然而，在現(xiàn)實中，完全靠政府為大學學費是不是一個明智的，務實的方式提高一個國家的教育水平。

In fact very few countries including many affluent developed ones are not able to offer free tertiary education to everyone on top of compulsory fundamental education. Meanwhile, no society requires every labor to be a professional, instead, a bigger proportion of skilled workers are needed in modern days. From another perspective to see this issue, students actually gain a lot from university not only in terms of academic knowledge which empower them to be employed and be independent economically，but also by gaining a clear perspective of life and life learning skills through theoretical subject study. Accordingly, students should also carry some financial responsibility. In my opinion, the issue of university tuition fee is not only a personal matter, but also of great significance to the society as a whole. Both the government and students should take responsibility for the cost because they both benefit a lot. A practical suggestion can be that the government fund university education by offering interest-free loan to those poor but outstanding students.

事實上，包括許多富裕發(fā)達國家在內(nèi)的許多國家都無法提供免費的高等教育，對每個人都有義務教育的基本教育。同時，沒有社會需要每一個勞動是一個專業(yè)的，而不是一個更大比例的技術工人在現(xiàn)代需要的。從另一個角度看這個問題，學生實際上獲得了很多從大學不僅在學術知識，使他們可以就業(yè)和獨立的經(jīng)濟，但也獲得了一個明確的角度來看，生活和生活學習技能，通過理論研究。因此，學生也應該承擔一定的財務責任。在我看來，大學學費問題不僅僅是個人的事，而且對整個社會也具有重要意義。政府和學生都應該承擔責任，因為他們都受益很多。一個切實可行的建議，可以通過向貧困學生提供無息貸款，資助大學教育。
