I would give a 4. what do you guys think about mine?

While it sounds quite temping to have the governments pay for students’ college education, situations vary between each country. Most country have different sets of laws regarding mandatory education. In some country, the period of mandatory education could well extend to a student’s college career. However, in some developing countries, mandatory education might only cover up to the level of literacy. Therefore, some governments are not legally required to pay for students’ college tuition.
To build upon this argument, these mandatory education laws are made based upon the cultural and economical situation of that specific country. While in some more developed countries, it might be applicable for the government to pay for student’s tuition. This might not be the case for many developing countries. In which, other social or economical issues may take priority over the necessity of higher education. Therefore, it is not applicable to have all governments pay for students’ college tuitions.

Furthermore, even if the rights to higher education is granted based on the mandatory education law of a certain country. It cannot be the governments’ sole responsibility to take care all tuitions. The universities should also bear the responsibility of assisting financially troubled students. Because after all, the university is the direct financial beneficiary of the tuition.

Nevertheless, education is one of the most important part in term of building a bright future for a country. But placing the responsibility of tuition solely on the government is at least inconsiderate.
