Four PLUS Two

Costly, unsure of the quality and low-paying jobs after graduating high school, these are the points of people that are against the K-12 system. The K-12 system means that the government will add two more years in high school. Instead of entering college right after you finish 4th year, you still need to complete two more years after that. But the question is; will it be effective? 

                    One of the reasons of the government why they want to implement K-12 is because that they want the students who will finish that 6th year of High school will have a job. But that job is just to become a laborer like carpenter, electrician, etc. Those jobs can’t support the financial aspects of a family. It will just give false hopes to those who are thinking that it will be better if they will finish the 6th year of high school than to take their college degree. The point of the people that agrees with the K-12 system is that it is used by so many countries around the world, the quality of education would be improved and students will have the opportunity to be employed right after they graduate from Highschool. However, these reasons are still not that strong so that this procedure will get the approval of the population. Why?

                   The people against K-12 have reasons and the first is: No money for tuition fee payments. Poor families were related on this issue. Most of the students studies on public schools. Here is the problem. How are they supposed to pay extra payments, and where are they going to get extra money for their everyday “baon”?

                  What our country needs is to make our economy up. But how can it be done or resolved if we are lacking with the numbers of students who will finish their college degree, students that can be called “professionals” like teachers, doctors, architects, engineers, etc.

                  Look at the other side. If no one will enter college, who will be the next teachers of the next generation of students, the next doctors of those who are sick, engineers of buildings that need to be built? WHO? And how about those students who want to take a college degree? It’s just another expense that needs to be paid, another time need to study and the chance of having a well-compensated job in the early stage will be lost.

                 What is the use of adding 2 more years when our parents, grandparents or even teachers graduated gain enough knowledge to survive the real world? Spending more for the tuition fees and allowances? We cannot say that the previous generation has low-quality education because we even ask for help from them most of the times.

                 

                  It is the responsibility of the government to know the correct solutions to the problems that out country are facing right know. Instead of having the K-12 system, why not complete the classrooms first in all schools; raise the salary of our teachers so that they won’t go abroad. Produce more jobs for college graduates than decreasing their number and then maybe, we can try and see if we even need the implementation of a new routine.
