Should Universities Charge Higher Tuition Fees?

Greatchanges have taken place since the reform and opening policy, especially therapid growth of economy. The average of Chinese salaries has been rising, so itis the expenditure of life. Nowadays, universities charge higher tuition feesbecause of the rapid growth GDP. Some people support the universities do thisbecause the schools need funds to development; while others think it’sinappropriate to charge higher tuition fees because not everyone can afford it.As far as I am concerned, universities should charge reasonable fees so theexcellent students can enjoy the advanced education in China.

自从改革开放以来，我国发生了很多变化，特别是经济的快速增长。中国人的平均收入增加了，而支出也一样。现如今，因为GDP的快速增长，高校也跟着提高了学费。有些人支持高校的做法，认为学校需要经费来维持发展；其余的人则认为收取更高昂的费用不合理，因为不是每个人都能支付得起。在我看来，高校应该收取合理的费用，这样那些优秀的学生也能够享受中国的高等教育。

For onething, the higher fees can be great burden to the wage earners families. Acollege student will need 6000 Yuan each year on average, which means, thewhole college fees will be 24,000 Yuan. It is not easy for a wage earner familyto save such a large sum of money, they may be indebted. What’s worse, some ofthe students even borrow money from banks because their families can not affordit.

一方面，更多的学费对工薪家庭来说会是个沉重的负担。一个大学生每年的平均费用为六千元人民币，这就意味着，整个大学的学费为两万四千元整。这对一个工薪家庭来说，存这样一笔钱是非常困难的。他们也许会负债累累。更加糟糕的是，因为家庭困难。有些学生不得不向银行贷款。

Foranother, facing the higher tuition fees, some of the students will give upuniversity. Go to universities is the only way for poor students to changetheir fate. But the high tuition fees deprive their rights of education.According to the survey, half of the students come from remote areas, wherehave comparative lower income. The higher fees will be no problem for the richsecond generations, but the poor second generations will drop out of school.

另一方面，面对更为高昂的学费，有些学生会放弃上大学的机会。对于贫困生来说，上大学是唯一能够改变他们命运的机会。但过高的学费剥夺了他们受教育的权利。通过一项调查显示，一半的学生来自偏远地区，那里的收入水平相对较低。对于富二代来说，学费不是问题，但是穷二代就要面临辍学。

In a word,the higher tuition fees not only have great influence on the students, but alsothe development of our country. I think the government and the universitiesshould take this into consideration. They should charge reasonable tuitionfees, try to provide more chances for the youth and make sure everybody can havethe right to go to college.

总的来说，更加高昂的学费不光会对学生产生巨大影响，也会影响到国家的发展。我认为政府和高校应该仔细考虑这件事。应该收取合理费用，努力为每个学生提供更多机会，保证每个人都有权利读大学。
