To accelerate the development of a country, some scholars mention distributing more money to very young children instead of colleges. They believe this new measure will bring the country a more rapid improvement in the economy, but I doubt it.

First, only the latest theory contributes to the development of a country, but those in 5-10 are not ready for that. It is unrealistic for adults to expect the young to make breakthroughs in academic areas. However, more funds to labs and professors could support more discrete devices and bring comfortable living conditions. Besides, more salaries may give professors a strong enthusiasm for academic researches. The development of a country partly relies on the professors and their papers and patents.

Second, those in 5-10 are not mature enough to realize the importance of knowledge. Thus, an early experience of study could probably result in unpleasant memory, which is harmful to establish interests in academic research later. Babies are born to have fun, but math or physics seems not attractive to most young people. To illustrate, I would do anything to avoid a constant math class when I was at that age,

Third, it is difficult to make sure the fund could get access to young children. Because the government couldn’t give the money to children directly, their parents probably spend the money somehow. People who raise the family may certainly experience financial difficulty sometime. For example, children in China always get red-pocket money as a gift in the Spring Festival. It should belong to me and support my daily expenses. Nevertheless, the fact is that I would never see the money again after first sight. This situation, I believe, happens in most of our country.

To conclude, the new plan to spend more on the youngsters than universities will not bring positive progress of a nation. Many problems arise from it.
