Writing Feedback / Is it not possible nor useful to provide tertiary education for the majority of young people [2]
Some people might argue that providing tertiary education for the majority of young people is not possible and useful. Personally, I disagree with these ideas and will outline my reasons in the essay below.
Nowadays, obtaining a university degree no longer has a vital role to get a good job in the future of young people even in this knowledge-based society. Firstly, in recent years, the demand for labor who gain specific skills or practical skills is increasing rapidly, which opens the door to better career prospects as well as job security for graduates of vocational school. These make vocational education more popular among young people, become a substitute for academic courses. Secondly, if the government intervenes deeply in the structure of the labor market, that would cause imbalances in the workforce because it could not only lead to an abundance of university graduates who are less likely to choose blue-collar jobs such as machine operators or technicians but also cause the shortage of skilled workers.
On the other hand, I think that it is impossible to support a large number of young people to be admitted to college. On top of that, paying for all exorbitant education costs will put a financial burden on the national budget. The government is likely to face a high risk of a budget deficit. Viet Nam, in fact, is a developing country with limited resources the government needs to allocate its national budget properly for other key areas which also promote sustainable development, such as the economy and healthcare. Additionally, the limitation of the human resources and material facilities, which has not kept pace with the soaring number of students on campus, leads to the degradation of tertiary education.
I conclusion, I strongly oppose the idea of dispensing university education to a high proportion of young people owing to the arguments presented above
