The Cost of Higher Education
Individuals (个人) should pay for their higher education.
A university education is of huge and direct benefit to the individual.Graduates earn more than non-graduates.Meanwhile,social mobility is ever more dependent on having a degree.However,only some people have it.So the individual,not the taxpayers,should pay for it.There are pressing calls on the resources (资源) of the government.Using taxpayers' money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future is not one of them.
Full government funding (资助) is not very good for universities.Adam Smith worked in a Scottish university whose teachers lived off student fees.He knew and looked down upon 18th-century Oxford,where the academics lived comfortably off the income received from the government.Guaranteed salaries,Smith argued,were the enemy of hard work; and when the academics were lazy and incompetent,the students were similarly lazy.
If students have to pay for their education,they not only work harder,but also demand more from their teachers.And their teachers have to keep them satisfied.If that means taking teaching seriously,and giving less time to their own research interests,that is surely something to celebrate.
Many people believe that higher education should be free because it is good for the economy (经济).Many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth,but so do all the businesses that invest (投资) and create jobs.If you believe that the government should pay for higher education because graduates are economically productive,you should also believe that the government should pay part of business costs.Anyone promising to create jobs should receive a gift of capital from the government to invest.Therefore,it is the individual,not the government,who should pay for their university education.

高等教育成本
个人必须为其接受的高等教育付费
大学教育对个人而言具有巨大与直接的好处.大学毕业生的收入比非大学毕业生高.同时,社会流动更依赖于学历.然而,只有一些人拥有学历.因此并非纳税人,而是个人必须为此付费.很多地方迫切需要政府资源.用纳税人的钱来帮助少数人在未来获取高收入并非其中之一.
全额政府资助对大学并非好事.Adam Smith在一所苏格大学工作,该校都是依靠学费度日.他了解并看不起18世纪的牛津大学,那里的教师依靠政府资助过着舒适的生活.Smith认为有保障的薪酬是辛勤工作的宿敌,并且当教师变得懒惰与无能,学生也会同样懒惰.
如果学生必须为其所受教育付费,他们不仅会更加努力地学习,还会希望从老师那里获取更多.而且,他们的老师必须使他们满意.如果那意味着认真治学,且没有太多时间让他们从事为自己的利益进行的研究,那必定是值得庆贺的.
许多人认为高等教育必须免费,因为对经济有利.许多毕业生无疑对国家财富做出贡献,但商业创造投资与就业也在创造财富.如果你认为政府应为高等教育出资,因为毕业生创造经济效益,你也必须认为政府应承担部分商业成本.任何承诺创造就业的人都应收到政府投资的资金作为礼物.因此,并非政府,而是个人应为其大学教育买单.
