Subject : Should college/university be free or much lower cost?

Think of arguments around access, costs, merits, and impact
Should College/University Be Free or Much Lower Cost?
The debate over affordable higher education extends beyond economic
considerations, touching on societal values, access, costs, and transformative
impacts. This universal discourse prompts an exploration of the arguments,
advantages, and potential drawbacks of enhancing accessibility to higher
education.
Advantages:
Educational Empowerment: Affordable higher education empowers individuals
and communities by eliminating financial barriers. As education becomes
attainable, societies prioritize knowledge acquisition, fostering a culture that
celebrates learning.
Economic Catalyst: Affordability in education acts as an economic catalyst,
diversifying the workforce. Professions, from agriculture to software engineering,
contribute to national prosperity, enhancing global competitiveness.
Societal Welfare: Accessible education positively influences societal welfare. A
well-educated populace engages in innovative practices, raising living standards
and fostering inclusivity and equity within the broader community.
Service Commitment: Affordable education models often include post-graduation
service commitments, injecting financial support into the country and providing
students with real-world experience, solidifying the interconnected relationship
between education and national service.

Disadvantages:
Financial Strain on the State: Implementing affordable education demands
significant financial resources, burdening the state with funding tuition,
associated expenses, and potential service commitments, leading to a strain on
public finances.
Comprehensive State Commitment: Beyond tuition, the state must cover various
ancillary expenses related to education, adding financial responsibility, especially
in resource-intensive fields like technology and research.
While these disadvantages are formidable, the cumulative weight of the
advantages suggests that the benefits of affordable education far outweigh the
challenges. Germany stands out as a compelling example, championing free
education for citizens and global students alike. Its commitment to supporting
students from admission to graduation has positioned it as a global leader in
economic prosperity, education, and welfare.

In conclusion, the question of whether higher education should be free or more

affordable is intricate, with implications stretching beyond immediate economic
considerations. Striking the right balance requires nuanced thinking, weighing
societal, economic, and cultural factors. The journey towards affordability may
pose challenges, but the destination—a society enriched by education,
innovation, and prosperity—justifies the effort and investment.

Thank you Mr. Ran for the fascinating course and text. Thank you for everything
and may we only hear good news in our countries

In this text above I use chatgpt.

Below is the text without using Chatgpt
My text before using chatgpt

I chose this topic whose essence is whether studying for free in universities or
colleges for free or with a symbolic deductible is good or not good or for whom it
is good and for whom it is not.

My choice was based on the promotion that this topic can contribute to the
country both from an educational and cultural point of view and the most
important of all is the great contribution to the country's economy.

The advantages of the subject are as follows:

First of all, a country that allows free studies or at a nominal price both
academically and in general makes a significant contribution to the country, its
citizens and the community as follows:

1) It encourages the community to learn and even provides an incentive for it.
2) Economically promotes the country since there is a complete selection of
professions and positions in the market
The work of all kinds as far as possible of course, such a thing will contribute
to the prosperity of the country
In all fields, for example, in the agriculture sector, state security,
construction, computing and software
engineering and more.

3) Promotes the community in a welfare way because this economic situation

contributes significantly to welfare
The citizen and the community
4) After graduation, the student undertakes to work for the state for this number
of years
It will be a great contribution to the country financially and it will also be an
internship for the student
who finished his studies in the country that taught him

Disadvantages of this method:

1) Gathering many resources in order to implement this issue, there is a large

expenditure here that is imposed on the state.

2) A commitment from the state to the student regarding the expenses are the
expenses of
The studies themselves and what surrounds it

But what is certain is that the advantages of this method outweigh the
disadvantages and it is indeed advisable
For example, let's take the example of the country of Germany, this country
encourages free studies for its citizens and also for those who want to come from
other countries, and it accompanies the student from the moment it admits him to
the moment he receives the certificate.
Today, Germany is considered the most prosperous country in the world both
economically, educationally, welfare and more, and all this only because of one
and only reason, studies and contribution to the general and the individual.

Therefore, in my opinion, it is worthwhile to adopt this method, if not in full, then

in part, that is, it will be possible to lower costs on the part of the state towards a
student, and this will benefit the state in the end.
