Students should pay the full cost for their own study, because university education benefits individuals rather than society. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Students should pay the full cost for their own study, because university education benefits individuals rather than society. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Nowadays, many students have paid the full cost of their tuition fees because it is believed that these students would benefit themselves rather than society. I disagree with this trend, and my reasons will be further validated in the paragraphs below. There are two reasons why it is beneficial if students pay their tuition fees. The first reason is that most of them would study better. In other words, if such students pay their full tuition themselves, they would feel responsible to listen carefully and study better. This can result in passing their exams with good marks. Another reason is that the government budget would be spent on essential services such as health care and building homes for people living in poverty. As a result, better such amenities can lead to enhancing the level of satisfaction. Such students, however, could have important impacts on the countries, so it is not fair to pay their full cost for their study. Nevertheless, there are two compelling reasons why students should not spend the full cost of their study. The first reason is that most students would have a positive effect on society. In fact, if these students become educated individuals with high positions in society, like doctors and engineers, most of them would be more prone to help the country. This can lead to countries meeting their needs, such as improving health rates, as well as building important apartments with special designs. Another reason is that the circulation of national income can be provided. This means that such knowledgeable people can attend volunteer work. Thus, they would assist in increasing the amount of the country’s income. As a result, better public services can be implemented, resulting in improving the quality of life. In conclusion, although paying the complete amount of study fees can make students more willing to study well, and also allow the government to spend its income on other important services, I believe that students should not pay their tuition fully by themselves. It is essential because they can have a constructive impact on society, as well as securing the flow of the state’s income.
