Debate II: Government and Economy
Question 1 - Post Debate

Which proposition do you agree with?
Proposition

Universal primary education is a basic human right, and the state is responsible for providing it to every citizen. Can we say the same for higher education? While that remains a debatable point, we see new universities getting opened in all parts of the country with promises for even more in the near future. The argument given in support of these mushrooming universities is to provide easy access to people, especially to females for whom travelling distances and staying away from home can be an issue. There, however, is the counter-argument that these universities are professor-less and are proving very low-quality education, which is beneficial neither to the student nor the country. They believe that existing universities should be strengthened, and made to focus on quality instead of quantity.
