obama's free community college plan
Final Essay Prompt (Version 1) Recently President Obama proposed a plan to make two years of community college free to all students, but just community college alone. This does not include state or university colleges.
In my opinion this plan of creating a two year free general education system for community colleges should be instituted for the simple reason that if you choose to pursue a higher education such as state college or university you should pay the tuition but for those that choose the route of going to a community college because of personal reasons such as those that can’t decide if they want to go straight to college or can’t afford it should be allowed those two free years to decide if they want to continue their education while going to school for free and gaining at least an associates degree during those two years of college. With this new plan announced on january 20th of 2015, the proposal will make two years of community college free to the students that handle their work with care and responsibility, not just anyone that wishes to use the government's money to their liking. This proposal lets students earn the first half of their bachelor’s degree also known as their general education and they will also learn the skills needed in the major of their choice with no cost, but this plan requires help on everyone's part, students will be needed to stay on task, take responsibility for their education and stay on track to graduate. In a recent article about the proposal via
Whitehouse.gov it is said
that “If all states participate, an estimated 9 million students could benefit.” With most students benefiting from this new proposal, a student on average can save up to $3,800 in tuition per year. With signing this new proposal into law, it will encourage more students to graduate.
