Education should be free for everyone, because not every person can afford it. Nowadays, schools and university fees are too high. Most parents, work hard to have an opportunity to give that education to their children. But, there are also a large number of people who cannot do it because their money is not enough for that. Children, who want to study, cannot afford that. Many families are faced with such a problem. Parents were very upset and deep in thought about what to do, how to find jobs with high salaries, and how not to disappoint a child. Furthermore, they needed money to pay not only university fees but also spent their earnings on tutors and extra classes that would help <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saralstudy.com\/blog\/12-simple-tips-and-tricks-to-help-you-prepare-for-entrance-exams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">prepare for exams<\/a>.

As you might have understood, they did not have any achievements. As a result, people need free education to be able to succeed.

We can do our part, belonging to the post-modern era of civilized and educated individuals, by setting up private institutions where we can teach the slum children of our locality for free.

Expense on Education<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A very big amount of funds should be allotted for the development of the education system in India. The lack of adequate funds is the main problem in the development of education. The expense for education in Five Year Plans has been decreasing. Due to lacking funds, most educational institutions lack infrastructure, and libraries, etc. Due to this reason, desired outcomes cannot be achieved.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Expensive_Higher_Education\"><\/span>2. Expensive Higher Education<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">University and professional education have become costly in India. The fee structure of professional institutes has quite a high charge. It is beyond the reach of the common man. The privatization of higher education has commenced the growth of profit-hungry entrepreneurs. Nowadays higher education is a much costly task.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Capacity_Utilization\"><\/span>3. Capacity Utilization<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The world now needs creative minds and the Government must encourage schools to boost the students and utilize their capacities to the max and not let their ideas go unheard.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Infrastructure_Facilities\"><\/span>4. Infrastructure Facilities<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Better infrastructure must be given mainly in Government schools. Since Government is now concentrating on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saralstudy.com\/blog\/online-education-vs-traditional-education\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">digital education<\/a>, they must undertake steps to provide all necessary facilities in the Government schools and rural areas as well<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Wastage_of_Resources\"><\/span>5. Wastage of Resources<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our education system is based on General Education. Most of the students leave school before completing their education. It commences to wastage of financial and human resources.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_General_Education-Oriented\"><\/span>6. General Education-Oriented<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The educational system is of General Education in nature. The development of technical education is quite unsatisfactory. So our education is unproductive. Therefore, the number of educated unemployed persons is increasing day by day. This has become a great concern for Government.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Student-Teacher_Ratio\"><\/span>7. Student-Teacher Ratio<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The number of students in search of proper education is way more in comparison to the teachers available. So, qualified teachers must be appointed to impart knowledge to the future of the country<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reasons_Why_Education_Should_be_free_in_India\"><\/span>Reasons Why Education Should be free in India<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Free education can help reduce existential nuclear, poverty, and climate threats.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to the huge population in India, free education becomes a very difficult goal to achieve. Though, when medication is the right of the people and is given by governmental hospitals for free, the same should be done with educational institutions because basic education is the right of every citizen of the country.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since most of the country is not e-literate, due to booming technology and education going primarily online, has resulted in a large part of the population lagging way behind.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To overcome the ignorance and blind orthodoxy among Indian people, education is very important and should be available to every single citizen, despite their financial stability.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Free education would encourage more parents to get their children admitted into educational institutions, rather than making them work in factories and spoil their entire childhood.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most people in India, especially in the poorer sections of society, have more than two children. So paying for the education of all of them becomes very difficult for the earning members of the family. Therefore, free education will be a convenient means of imparting education.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Educational institutions must hire quality teachers even though education is imparted free of cost, otherwise, underprivileged children will only get wrong knowledge and information.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since more than half of the Indian population consists of poverty-stricken people and farmers, education should be free as most of these people cannot afford to pay for their children\u2019s education, and so they abstain from admitting their children into schools.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Government firms are not efficient as private firms. Private firms usually compete with each other and focus on delivering the highest quality possible to sustain their business in their competitive world. For these reasons, private firms deliver much better quality in their service than a government firm who is usually protected from the competition. Therefore, when we aim for the best quality education in our society it is required that education should be privatised.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q1_Is_there_any_scheme_in_India_to_support_the_idea_of_free_education\"><\/span>Q1.
