Why we Need Higher Education

The purpose of this paper is to introduce, d*****cuss, and analyze higher education. Specifically it will discuss why people should have the privilege of a higher education. Higher education is the hope for many people to prosper and reach their goals. It gives them the ability to find better jobs, make better money, and live better lives than ***** families may have lived, and ***** education should not be only available to the wealthiest individuals. Everyone should ***** the privilege ***** a higher ***** in this country, if they desire it.

***** college educ*****tion should be within the reach of anyone who wants it, but unfortunately, due to rising costs, that is ***** always the case. The cost of higher education is r*****ing dramatically in this country, making a college education unattainable for ***** young people. Two authors note, "The real ***** of ***** education per full-time equivalent student has grown substantially over the last 75 years, ***** the rapid rise since the early 1980s is a cause of considerable public concern" (Archibald, and Feldman). In the current economic crisis, higher education is often suffering cuts as state ***** local budgets shrink, and ***** is raising the cost of higher education even more. Be***** of this, fewer people ***** ***** able to attend college, and this will have a long-term effect on the country, because our children will not be able to have the privilege of ***** educati***** at a time when they need ***** the most.

***** *****on is a necessity for success in life, and ***** should be able to attend ***** not based on their ***** ***** pay, but on ***** desire to succeed. Some people do not want ***** attend college, and that ***** fine, but people ***** really want to and cannot afford it should not ***** punished by not being able to attend. Some people can qualify for scholarships, but there are not ***** enough of those to go around, ***** some people ***** left behind. This means that they may not be able to get a good job with decent pay, all because ***** could not afford to go to college. College ***** not be only for the wealthiest people that can ***** to pay, it should be available to everyone, and it ***** not be so expensive ***** many people cannot attend.

One of the problems ***** higher education and its costs is that in the past, the ***** were kept low in many institutions, ***** ***** people are not used to *****ing much higher prices. ***** ***** 1960s and 1970s, ***** community colleges ***** free, funded ***** *****s, ***** ***** ***** ended, fewer ***** could af*****d ***** ***** these institutions, ***** they want their children to attend college to have more than they could give them. Today, costs just continue to rise, and that means that ***** more people will suffer, ***** the overall educational level of ***** ***** could *****, as well.
