my comment on "Texas Tution Increase"

The impressive presentation by the author of http://conflictsoftexas.blogspot.com on increasing tution fee in Texas grabbed my attention. Higher education today is a great challenge due to high tution fees. We are compelled to select campuses which offers low tution fee than the one which offers quality education. 53% in increment in tution in 5 years is unbelievable. It will definately drag millions of Texan to the darkness just below the candle. Specially in a state like Texas, which is already behind from many other states in it's percentage of graduate students, these increment will ultimately compel Texan to be the most illeterate state and the reason will not be unsufficient resources or lack of educational environment, but solely unaffordable tution fees. Many Texan are moving to Oaklohoma and other states for their higher studies which are far cheaper than Texas.

The bill to be proposed will be a little compentation but not a permanent solution because it is still above the threshold that Texan can afford. Investing huge funds in education arises a question to me, will it pay me back? Let us hope the bill will help all Texan to afford their higher education.
