自從學(xué)費(fèi)制度實(shí)施以來(lái)，它已成為中國(guó)的熱門(mén)話題。人們對(duì)此問(wèn)題的看法各不相同。
有人認(rèn)為，世界上沒(méi)有一所大學(xué)不向?qū)W生收費(fèi)。至于中國(guó)，她是發(fā)展中的國(guó)家，人口居世界首位。政府沒(méi)有能力撥出足夠的經(jīng)費(fèi)來(lái)支付教學(xué)設(shè)施和名目繁多的費(fèi)用。 解決這個(gè)問(wèn)題的方法之一，就是學(xué)生繳學(xué)費(fèi)。這樣籌集的錢(qián)可以用來(lái)改善辦學(xué)的條件。
然而，另一些人則反對(duì)學(xué)費(fèi)制度。他們爭(zhēng)辯說(shuō)，中國(guó)人民，尤其是貧困農(nóng)村人民的生活水平與西方世界相比仍然很低。大學(xué)的學(xué)費(fèi)制度肯定會(huì)增加工薪階層的父母本來(lái)已經(jīng)很沉重的負(fù)擔(dān)。此外，學(xué)費(fèi)可能成為發(fā)展中國(guó)高等教育的障礙，因?yàn)樗挂恍┯胁拍艿膶W(xué)生只是由于貧困而不能進(jìn)大學(xué)。

Tuition system has become one of the hottest topics in China since it was put into effect. Reports on this topic are published in a variety of newspapers and magazines. People differ greatly in their opinions on it.
Some people think that there is no university in the world which is open to students without tuition. As far as China is concerned, it is a developing country with the largest population in the world. The government is unable to allocate enough funds to pay for various teaching facilities and many different kinds of expenses. One of the ways to relieve the problem is for students to pay tuition. The money raised in this way can be used to improve the conditions for running schools.
Others, however, are opposed to the tuition system. They argue that the living standard of the Chinese people, especially of those in the poor rural areas, is still low, compared with that in the Western World. The university tuition will certainly add to the already heavy burden of the parents, who live on their salaries or wages. Moreor, tuition may become an obstacle to the development of China＇s higher education. This is because it hinders some talented people from entering the university just on account of their poverty.
