     Free education is education that frees students or their parents, especially costs related to education. Free education in Indonesia is very necessary to provide equal opportunities for all the nation's sons and daughters from various backgrounds to experience a decent school experience. Apart from that, free education will also have a long-term impact on improving human resources.

     Free education is education that frees students from costs related to education. Free education in Indonesia is very necessary to provide equal opportunities for all children from various backgrounds. Apart from that, free education will also have a long-term impact on improving human resources.

     Equal distribution of free education must be balanced with justice so that not everyone can get free education. The only people who deserve free education are those who cannot afford school fees. Free education must be right on target and not discriminatory.

     With free education, financing will be borne by the government. Article 34 of Law Number 20 of 2003 concerning the National Education System guarantees the implementation of the minimum compulsory education program at the basic education level without charging fees. That way, poor people will not be burdened with education costs.

     With free education, it makes students more independent and improves their standard of living. Everyone receives a decent and equal education. So that it can improve the quality of human resources.

     So free education is very important but it must be balanced with justice, so that not everyone can get free education. Because education is free of charge, the government must be ready to spend a budget on society. With free education we can improve the quality of human resources in Indonesia.

Sample 1: 

                    Should College Education be Free?

   College education should be free for all students. Education is a basic right and the key to success and prosperity and making it accessible to be a better society. Countries that provide free education in college have higher rates of college graduates and more educated workforce. Providing free college education for students will reduce the burden of student debt. Opponents of free education in college argue that it would be too expensive for the government to provide. The benefits of a more educated population will outweigh the costs in the long run. 

Sample 2: 

                         Smoking Prohibition by MUI

   Recently the MUI (Indonesian Ulema Council) issued a fatwa that smoking is forbidden and should be avoided. Smoking causes a variety of reactions in the community. The society is divided into two groups in considering that fatwa. But, many people agree with MUI and the others do not agree with MUI. The party who agrees with the fatwa assumes that smoking is very dangerous for humans because it can cause various diseases like impotence, internal organs damage, death, and many more. People who do not agree with the fatwa assume smoking is one of their right which should not be bothered. For us who can think certainly can determine our position on this issue. Based on these facts do we still think smoking is cool?
