Education Should be Free for All

by Paul Ivan Montressor

The increasing cost of becoming educated withheld many students from having

education. Education is vital and everyone needs it. According to Russell (2018), it would make

life so much easier for everyone such that there would be a more educated workforce, more

educated citizens and a possible lower crime rate.

In the major findings of Berger & Fisher ( 2013 ), they found out that there is a clear and

strong correlation between the educational attainment of a state’s workforce and median wages

in the state which includes an overwhelmingly high-wage states are states with a well-educated

workforce. Also, in the report of Yueda ( 2016 ), education is an invaluable tool in liberating the

minds of individuals to an elevated state of understanding and potential. At the margin, higher

wages and more stable employment can tilt the individual away from crime. (Bell, Costa, &

Machin, 2018)
