Review of the tuition fee

·         Review of the tuition fee

These days there are so many students who are suffering from high tuition fee. When we just selected current president in Korea, we thought there was going to be nothing to worry about. But as we know, it didn’t seem to be that way. The tuition fee is currently still going up. While we were listening to the presentation of our classmate, we could realize how terrible our system is. Especially, I really don’t figure out why president is doing nothing about this problem. Nowadays he has been focusing on our projects, so he stopped thinking about this problem.

When we compared our scholarship with USA’s, we can easily understand how much different it is. According to article, 70% of the college students in U.S are getting some benefits from university or government, so most of them don’t have to worry about their tuition. However, In Korea, 20% of the college students are getting scholarship from school or government. I just wonder why there are so big differences. Of course, U.S is a much bigger nation than our country. But do we really think that’s the only reason that we can’t get a proper benefit from our government?

I think there are several factors. One of the big reasons is that our politicians don’t think it is a serious problem. Of course, there are so many things they should deal with, but this problem is one of the serious problems they should handle now. When they just take this problem seriously, we can hope we are getting more chances to focus on our study. On the bright side, a lot of universities just started to think of this problem, so some principles of the universities said we have no plan to go up our tuition for years. I know it is not what we wanted to hear, but at least we made them consider this problem seriously.

  1. I think, one of the reason that politian don't think serious about tuition is they think university student are least concerned with politics. So youth need to pay attention to political issue.

  2. I think, for many reasons, half tuition policy has been pushed back on the priority list. It is required to make special grants for students.

  3. I think that goverment should accept the srious problem about the tuition fee. As soon as possible,I hope that half tuition policy will be established by law.

  4. The half tuition seems to be the best solution for the problem. Students are hoping for this solution to be enforced. But if not, will be there more protesting and demonstrations?
