One of my friends told me that he paid his university tuition fee over 500 hundred won last year. To save the money he always worked many places for a long time. Also he felt that it was difficult for him to earn this money. On statistics about tuition fee for universities show that korea have been the highest rank about that in the statistics.
Saving the money for university fee is almost impossible for normal students. If they want to earn the money, they have to partially give up studying their major in their universities. Students who are working during the semester normally work on the weekend, so they always feel a shortage of time to spend studying about their studying during the semester. What’s more, it’s so difficult to earn about 500 hundreds won on their own. Secondly, the policies of tuition finance make student incredible debtor. Many analysts have been saying that debtors regarding to tuition fee are getting more and more increased. If you take the loan from the bank, you have to pay back interest over 7%. When you first see this number, you might think that it’s small number. However if you took the loan as a debtor, you wouldn’t feel that it’s easy to pay back the money. After some people suicide due to this problem, one party have demonstrated for cutting off the tuition fee. Although demonstration has been looked failed, they don’t want to stop doing something about that because it’s serious problem in korea.
Although I have paid my tuition fee using taking a loan from the bank, I have struggled to pay back my money. It goes without saying that this problem can’t be considered other people’s problem simply. If government wants to keep a good societies , they have to think over tuition fee.
It cannot be avoid.
