People hold different arguments on spending money on education. Some propose investing in universities is more reasonable since hi-technology talents are indispensable. Others refute this view by emphasizing the importance of fundamental education. I agree on the latter. Here are my reasons.

First, fundamental education is of great importance. Teenagers build their outlook on money,life and world during this period. Early education has a great influence on teenagers’ interests. Interests they found in their early age will help them decide on career somehow. Last summer, I took my little brother Wang to the Shanghai Science Museum. In the trip, he witnessed the Faraday Cage experiment. That’s when he started to show a great interest on physics. I bet the classical physical experiment triggers his passion for physics.

Second,spending money on young children’s education are worthy. Since facilities in primary school are cheaper than laboratory equipment in university, we can have a profound effect on young children’s education with the same money. Last week, I saw some arguments on the Internet that money spent on introducing advanced facilities to universities can be used to build a whole kindergarten. This might be exaggerated. But we couldn’t deny only small amount of money may play an important role in fundamental education. Furthermore, from the perspective of parents, they would be more glad to see obvious progress on fundamental education.

Third, almost all students have access to young-age education. However, universities are only available to some of them. Because of expensive tuition, family burden or other reasons, they are disable to enter into university let alone having a class. In this case, no matter how much spent on the university, there is nothing to do with them. We should consider the benefits of most people rather than the elites.

In conclusion, government should spend money on education of young children. It is beneficial to teenagers’ growth and the development of school . Also, it meets the demands of most citizens.
