US Lawmakers Debate an Education Issue: the Cost of College
Lawmakers in Washington are debating education issues, including the interest that students pay for loans. College students who take loans graduate earning an average of $ 26, 000. But some economists say the real issue is controlling the costs of college. Experts say these high costs are hurting the whole economy.
Joshua Jordan earned a doctorate degree in physical therapy. "I am currently in debt for $210,000. " Joshua Jordan has eight times the loan debt of the average student. He says he sometimes has to work two jobs to pay his bills.
For the past 30 years, college tuition has been increasing at twice the rate of inflation. Universities say decreasing financial support from state governments forces them to charge higher tuition. Private colleges now charge an average of more than $ 30, 000 a year.
Terry Hartle speaks for the American Council on Education: "It’s a terrible conundrum that we face as a country. We want more and more post-secondary education. We want more focus on academic quality and graduation. At the same point, the funding sources for higher education have been diminishing for a generation. "
Experts worry that the high cost of college makes it less likely that good students from poor families will attend college. This means fewer scientists, engineers and others who could help increase economic growth. And a survey shows that some students concerned about repaying thousands of dollars in loans are delaying marriage and children.
Peter Mazareas is with the College Savings Foundation. "These students will not contribute to the economy. They will go home and live at home. They won’t buy cars. They won’t invest in housing, so there is a real multiplier effect that is short term. "
Georgetown University Labor Economist Anthony Carnevale says the current system cuts economic growth for the whole country. " The effects on economic growth are substantial. If we had kept up with demand for post secondary talent, economists estimate that we would be at about $ 500 billion more per year in gross domestic product. That is to say, people would have more money to spend. "
选项
A、Because more students enrolled in college.
B、Because state governments decrease financial support.
C、Because they want to make large profits.
D、Because public colleges all increase their tuitions.
答案
B
解析
根据原文“decreasing financial support from state governments forces them to charge higher tuition”,州政府日益减少的财政支持是主要原因,所以选B。
