　　Any modern economy needs well educated and trained people to operate efficiently. Therefore, I fully agree with the view that education should be free for everyone.

　　In order for people to obtain a well paid job, and to embark upon, and enhance their career, a university education is essential. However, the very fact that people need a good education to succeed in a modem economy is the reason it should be free. Indeed, companies are the backbone of any modern society because it is companies that produce the wealth that makes the nation economically strong.

　　In a modern company that has to operate in a globally competitive market, workers are required to have a wide range of skills; technical skills, such as computer literacy, communication skills, such as effective writing skills and team working skills, and other skills that have to be developed in an educational setting. Therefore, whilst people with a single skills base, welding, for instance, may still be needed in certain areas of work, people who still work in traditional manufacturing industries are more likely to operate computerised machines, and get involved in the decision making process which is the function of a small team. Therefore, if companies need well educated people to be profitable, then education should be provided free of charge.

　　The problem, however, is one of money. Indeed, school, college and university buildings have to be built. Teachers and administrative staff have to be paid, and textbooks and other equipment have to be bought. The money, however, could be raised through taxes levied on companies.

　　Therefore, given how essential education is, everyone, regardless of social status or wealth, should be given an equal opportunity of obtaining one.
