Importance Of Fees In Education

Education is the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction, especially school or university. Fee is a payment made in exchange of service or advice. In this point we going to look at fees made in exchange for education, fees play a very big role in higher education since lectures are needed in order to prove education to the one who need it. So in this research we going to talk about why is it important to pay fees even though we can’t afford them in South Africa.

Apartheid played a big role in a poverty of a black’s child since everything was taken away from black people during apartheid so black people are still recovery from that. This is the reason the percent of drop-out is high on the side of black people. We introduce apartheid here since it is the one that placed a big role in the struggle of a black man.

But when we take a look on” What will cover the expenses of the institution” that’s where the problem starts. What we need is reasonable higher education for very one, by reasonable meaning different prices for different people. Unfortunately there is no enough money on the developing countries for free higher learning.

Free higher education sounded new and attractive, unfortunately it was financially and ethically wrong in a developing countries. Remember South Africa is still a developing country. Dr Nico Cloete of the Centre for Higher Education and Training (CHET) said” What is easy and ethical is free higher learning for the very poor, those who get R120 000 per year or less”. Free education for all must not be approved to wealthy students. At least those who can manage to pay their fees and those who are allowed/qualify to apply for loans, should contribute to the costs of higher education along people who pay tax.
