Free education in America
There is a great need for making the education to be free in America, and for that matter, the possibility to make the education free is initiated by the desire of the people in the country. Some of the factors that can facilitate the need for the free education are due to the campaign that is made by the leaders of the nation such as the politicians whose intention is to make sure that the future generation is well prepared to take the nation forward (Anderson Np). The fact that other states such as New York City and California have tried the free education and it has worked is a clear indication that America can manage it. There are also some humble families that are not able to raise the educational fee to their children and this forces these children to drop out of school hence the introduction of the free education is of importance (Anderson Np). The practice of the equality in the nation can also be one of how the provision of free education for all the children in the nation can be accomplished (Eskow Np).
In the entire American nation, there has been a great challenge in the issue of the students’ fee, especially in the high learning institution. For instance, the loan provided to the students in the colleges and universities to help them during their educations are not being paid back, and this makes the students have a huge debt after school to pay. There are limited chances that these loans will be paid back.

The government should, therefore, look into ways in which the education can be free to the students so that they don’t have the burden to pay back the loan for their education. When the education is made free, the students will have the opportunity to study smart since there shall be restriction made for good performance just like in the states that have been practicing the free education like the New York City.
There is inflation in the education standard in the country and even in the entire world and if the unfortunate students who are not able to raise the fee are not given the opportunity to study, then the development of the United States of America will be retarded since only a few who come from the well-off families will be able to complete their educations while the majority who are not able to raise the fee remain at home. In addition to that, since the United States is a country where equality is being practiced, it would be in order if the equality is extended to the students so that they acquire equal education standard for those from the poor families as well as those in the able families (Eskow Np). And also the introduction of the free education in the United States will reduce the stagnation of the economic growth of the country since there are varieties of ideas that will be produced from the high learning institutions. These ideas will be put into use thereby increasing the economic development in the country. The involvement of the of the federal and the state governments in the education sector make the level of education of the high learning to be equal, and therefore the people tend to have equal opportunity to get the required education according to the American curriculum. The government should ensure that the privatization of the universities and colleges in the United States is done away with since most of the private institutions are profit oriented and once the privatization is done away with, then making the education system to be free will be much effective (Butcher Np).
The middle-class individuals who are employed are not able to obtain salary that can be used to raise the family as well as to pay for the fees to their children and therefore the government should subsidize on the fee for the children in the country so that the children are brought up in a better living standard (“Free Higher Education | United States Student Association” Np). Most of the students who are in the high learning institutions have limited earning and therefore most of them strain to pay their fees, and for that matter, the government should put the tuition to be free so that such student can have enough cash to sustain themselves in the institution. Similarly, the government can obtain the cash from the taxpayers so that they help raise the education standards of the students in the entire nation and this can only be achieved through making the education free of charge to the students. There are also unnecessary expenses in the universities and colleges that are charged by the administration, and once the education is made free, the over expenditure of the citizens on education will be lowered since the government will provide for the fee to the students at a flat rate in every institution where the students go.
On the contrary, some of the factors that can hinder the free education in the United States is the lack of consistency in the activities that the government does. Each president who is elected in America comes with his/her policies, and once the free education is started, it might be revoked once a new government is formed. And also the interfering with the private institutions in the country might b very challenging hence making the idea of implementing the free education very difficult (Butcher Np). On the other hand, the life standard might be very expensive to the families that have a limited income since once the free education is implemented in the nation, then the taxation on the products will shoot and this will make it hard for those families that do not have better sources of income to afford. This, therefore, will increase the level of frustration of the low-income families as well as the immigrants in the country since they will not be able to afford most of the products in the market. The introduction of the free education may also result in the inflation in the country since the taxation will be higher while the citizens are not able to afford even for the basic needs. There is also an argument that the poor students will suffer more when the education is made free in America since the expenses on some of the basic needs such as housing and foodstuffs will be higher, and this can make the poor students strain so much during their studies.
In my opinion, however, the introduction of the free education in America will be the source of economic development since the students will acquire new knowledge that can help the economic growth in the country. And also it will act as an eye-opener to the poor families since their son and daughter will be in the position to provide for them and the level of poverty in the country will diminish. Therefore it is my desire if the government can put the initiative of the free education in practice so that the children in America can have equal education.
