For the development of a country, it is more important to spend money on education of very young children than to spend on universities.

Education plays an increasing fundamental role in our days. We tie the future of our country to the level of education standard and government is projecting to increase the funding for students. But there is a substantial divergence of opinion. Some say that the significance of educating our young children outweighs that of elder students and the government should elevate the investment on the former. In my opinion, spending more on universities is a great deal.

First, through the investment on university we can harvest an instant result on the improved employment rate. The USA is suffering the aftermath of economy crisis in 2008. Countless companies are shrinking their salary and cutting employees; highly educated graduates are anxious for hunting an ordinary job. Therefore the request of new job opportunity is increasing correspondingly. To fill the unemployment rate gap, government can invest more money to enhance the education level in the universities, whose teaching qualities link to the employment rate directly. For example, the university can make use of the money into the extension of library and purchase of more books, motivating more students to engage into library marathons. Or investing the money on the recruitment of senior professors, who can not only deliver more practical knowledge to students, but also use his/her strong personal network to recommend some excellent students to some positions.

Second, numerous scientific research achievements come from universities labs. Doing experiments is not so cost-efficient but brings many progressions to our lives and our society, which is closely related to everyone. So labs need more funding. For example, enjoying a good reputation in the domain of physics, Stanford University uses her linear accelerator, which is the largest in the world, to accomplish many researches. But starting up the machines needs electricity much enough to light up a town for a whole year. Is that worthy? Certainly it is. Seemingly not environmental-friendly at first sight, these researches in Stanford are exceedingly important; without them, the nuclear power cannot get its proper and safe use on generating electricity, which prohibits many trees from being cut down and cuts the potential carbon emissions invisibly. There is no doubt that the government should pay the bill, providing solid funding for universities to explore the science.

Admittedly, scientists are more mindful of the preliminary education for young kids. According to research, 5-10 year-old is the golden time to cultivate children’s intelligences. Kids are unconsciously influenced by environmental elements such as the sophisticated teaching facility. But we should take it with a grain of salt. Young children are prone to be distracted in multi-media classrooms because their brains are not mature enough to resist temptations of online games, which can be played secretly on the class. So, spending too much money on young children is merely an exercise in vain.
