Half Tuition Fee

The second group's presentation was about half tuition fee for Universities. So, what about half tuition fee? Today, students in Korea protests to ask for lowering the tuition half price beccause it is too expensive. Most of private Universities average tuition is over 7,000,000 won per semester. Actually our country's tuition fee is most expensive in the world except America. This means South Korea ranks second right after America. I knew that our country's tuituion fee is expensive but never know that it is this much. So, my opinion is tuirion fee should be lower than now at least but not in half.

The reasons why I agree with half tuition fee are firstly, parents and students' economical burden will decrease. Current average tuition fee for private Universities is about 7,000,000won as I mentioned before which students can't afford themselves with their studies at the same time. Some say that those economical problem is which they can't solve and also it's the individual problem that they havve to solve themselves. I think this is really selfish to say like this. Actually there are public Universities which tuition fee is much less than those private schools but only 18% of all Universities in Korea. This means most of the Universities are expensive. To afford huge amount of tuition fee, many students are depending on student loan. And also they work part-time job like convenience stores. In female student case, some students work for adult entertainment establishment. This is serious problems. Because of expensive tuition fee, many students in Korea having hard times like I mentioned in this journal.
