MODEL ANSWER | BAND 8.0

Some people argue that education should be accessible to everyone free of cost regardless of their financial status / background. I totally agree with this argument.

Nowadays, educational qualifications are the primary requirements for any high paid jobs since most companies like to hire individuals with college degrees. Firstly, making education available to all at no cost means that every individual in the society has an equal opportunity to get a professional job. Many people often complain that they could not get receive university education because it was expensive.

For instance, Times reported that Norwegians have more patents to their names than people of any other country ever since Norway made education free for all in 1980. Education is important in everyone’s life because it is essential to meet basic needs such as food and shelter.
If a person failed to graduate then this individual would find it harder to find a satisfying job. This might force him to look for alternative options to make easy money rather than work hard and he could end up in jail.

Moreover, if a society is educated then it will prosper and bring more happiness and joy to the country. Consequently, the country’s productivity and efficiency will increase because of its highly educated workforce. For example, a Harvard study concluded that the productivity of countries like China and India increased by over 200 percent during the last 20 years because of an increase in literary rate arising from free education.

In conclusion, education is a basic need of all people, so it should be free from kindergarten to college level.
