Social and Private Benefits of Higher Education:
We know that education is a merit good and consumption of merit goods create positive externality effects; this
is where the social benefit form consumption exceeds the private benefit.

The private benefits of undertaking and completing a course of study in higher education are numerous.
Employers tend to value graduates skills, which is why there is greater chance of being employed. Another
benefit is that the salary the graduate is likely to earn. Someone who has gone into higher education will have a
higher future earning compared to someone who has not got a degree. The income gap between university
graduates has increased considerably over time. The earning benefits to the average graduate are high
enough to recover both the cost of tuition fees and costs during the universities years in a short period of time.

There are many social benefits that occur from people going to universities. People who have gone through
higher education will be more specialised in their field of study. This allows the whole society to take advantage
in their depth of knowledge and skills. For example doctors can help those that are sick and poorly in the
community. This will mean that more people in this community will survive for longer, creating an aging
population. A higher level of education also corresponds to lower levels of unemployment and poverty. So in
addition to contributing more towards tax revenues than others do; people with higher levels of education are
less likely to rely on social safety-net programs (e.g. Dole), generating a decrease on public budgets.
Graduates are also more likely to vote in elections, therefore this will have an effect on the way government
works. Graduates are also thought to help with their childrens education. Hypothetically this could form a cycle
where generations become smarter and fit to pass their wealth of knowledge. It is believed that higher
education is correlated...

people to live everyday. It is a great way to make them extroversion. They can be easily to speak to people in
the society even though foreigners. It is effective for students to improve their communication ability.

The second important value of university education is that giving students an environment to study by
themselves. In university, Wifi and electricity will not be cut forever, so the classrooms and buildings are light
day and night. The students can open any classroom if it does not be used, and they can study in it in spite of
how long they stay, so they can have enough time to study and relax themselves under this institution. What is
more, the libraries are both in the teaching buildings, so they can be convenience to borrow books. In addition,
the books there are almost in English, so it can not only tell undergraduates knowledge, but also improve their
English. Undergraduates can manage their time in rational, and making themselves excellent.
