University fees Nowadays, although universities have become more available than in the past, fees are rising. Sometimes the fees are reaching a level that not affordable by many students. Moreover, availability of jobs for graduates declined due to the increasing number of graduates. This dilemma, in turn, makes some people think that universities should not teach arts subjects, like philosophy and history, and only offer practical degree courses, that may increase the opportunities of finding a job. From practical point of view, this may work, and will enhance the cost-benefit ratio of the educational process. Moreover, this attitude will make it easier to create new fields of employment. Unfortunately, if we adopted this point of view, many arts subjects will be endangered. These arts have paramount importance in developing our discernment and insight, and comprise a fundamental part in our development as human beings. No doubt, teaching arts directly affects our behaviours and our morals, which in fact, greatly outweighs money. In my opinion, teaching arts should be maintained and encouraged, and we have to raise the public awareness of its value. On the other hand, governmental bodies should take part in setting limits to the rising university fees.
