focus more budget on young children education or universities

[Panwei_001]

It's my first post here, thank you for your comments~

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? For successful development of a country, should a government focus its budget more on very young children education rather than on universities?

As for the successful development of a country, many people maintain that more nation budget should dedicate to primary education like young children education, for youth and child is the future fuel for development. However, I support that nation budget should priority to tertiary-level education.

First, the normal operation expenditures of a university are much larger than the requirement for operating a primary school. As we know, universities afford students with a lot of majors for learning, including botany, astronomy, liberal arts, engineering, applied sciences, science, etc. Each institution, undoubtedly, needs basic infrastructures such as teaching building, office building, not mention the scientific equipments which are obligatory to students who are major in engineering. Also, universities require more faculty and official managers, which means a large number of money for their compensation. Therefore, compared to primary education, universities require more budget to make ends meet.

In addition, high-level education contributes directly and more to the development. Most state-of-the-art technologies and developments are first intentioned in university campus, involved in nanotechnology, supercomputing, high-speed railway, green technology. These technological advantages lay a solid foundation for successful development of a country. The point can be further confirmed by the development of American, behind which powerful and progressive top universities is the main driving force, from Stanford University, to Harvard University, to Princeton University, and so on. In contrary, children at their ages can do little for the development and it calls for a much longer time for the children and youth to be the supporting pilars of the country.

Lastly, better quality of tertiary-level education gives rise to a better youth education. On one hand, as the universities are developed, they produce teachers with better equipped professional knowledge and teaching methodology for preschool education, young children education. On the other hand, when students from better developed universities become parents, they can offer their children enlightening and thought-provoking parenting, and they can also cultivate their children at home. With the companies of highly-educated parents, it is good for the children's physical and psychological well-being.

In sum, considering the everyday expenditure, the technological advantage it brings, and the possible positive effect to the young education, universities education should be injected more government budget into .

what about this one?

As for the successful development of a country, many people maintain that government should put more budget to preschool education, for only in that way can a country promise a sustainable, thus successful development. However, I think that tertiary-level education should have priority over early childhood education.

First, the daily expenses of a university are much larger than the requirement of a preschool. As we know, there are lots of institutions in universities, and each institution, undoubtedly, requires money to operate and maintain its own basic infrastructures such as teaching building, office building. Besides, they also demand additional costs for scientific equipments and teaching apparatus, which can be highly expensive. On the the hand, universities require more money as compensation for large numbers of faculty and official managers. Therefore, compared to primary education, universities require more budget to make ends meet.

In addition, high-level education contributes more to the development directly. Most state-of-the-art technologies and inventions are first happen in university campus, from nanotechnology, to supercomputing, to wind energy. These technological advantages lay a solid foundation for successful development of a country. The point can be further confirmed by the development of American, behind which powerful and progressive top universities is the main driving force, from Stanford University, to Harvard University, to Princeton University, and so on. In contrary, children at their ages can do little for the development and it calls for a much longer time for the children and youth to be the supporting pilars of the country.

Lastly, the improvement in tertiary-level education can bring about a better youth education. For example, if a teachers college is developed, it would produce gradutes quipped with more scientific and systematic teaching methodology, which then can improve the quality of children education when these gradutes become teachers. Further, It's said that the company of highly-educated parents is good for the children's physical and psychological well-being. If people have a better chance to enter universities, when they become parents, they can offer their children with enlightening and thought-provoking parenting at home. In this case, improvement in high-level education can indirectly enhance young children education.

In sum, considering the everyday expenditure, direct contribution to society, and the possible positive effect to the young education, I believe that universities education should be injected more government budget into.
