Children's education is expensive.

In some countries, the government pays some or


all of the costs. Do the advantages outweigh its disadvantages?

In the recent decades, the question of whether the government should pay for children’s
education has been receiving a great deal of public attention. Although this assistance is
not without the disadvantages, the upsides will be far more significant.
On the one hand, there are several disadvantages of this trend. First, for a sustainable
development of a country, we are required to invest in different fields, not only the
education. Paying some or all the cost for children education may put more pressure on
national budget. It can be explained that residents have to pay more taxes so that
government have more fund for education. Leading, parents have to work harder in order
to pay fee for schooling in full. Second, the great number of students going to school at
the same time would make the education system overloaded. These do not have enough
schools for children and the next issue is the investment for the construction of schools.
On the other hand, there are a number of advantages that eclipse the drawbacks. The main
benefit is that in order to promote the future advancement of state, governments should
invest centrally in education, especially for the young ages. This means future
generations with adequate learning will become talents, helps national economics
develop. Moreover, if the government supports children’s education, every child will
have the chance to go to school and gain knowledge. Therefore, illiteracy and social
crimes will be disappeared, which contribute to building a civilized nation.
To conclude, while low-cost education has some disadvantages, the benefit of the trend
can outweigh the drawbacks and boost the development of the entire country.
