Topic: We should subsidize vocational education
there are already enough schooling options available.
there could be no end to a list of vocational studies requiring subsidising and that cost cannot be met.
There is a current stigma in society that says that all high school graduates should go to college, and this subsidy would help fight that stigma and drive people towards valuable career fields.
there is a lack of qualified tradesmen in today's marketplace and subsidizing vocational education could help to get more people interested in these fields
There is a national shortage of tradesmen and subsidizing vocational education would help reduce that shortage.
there is a shortage of people working in the vocational fields and subsidizing them could do away with the shortage.
there is a shortage of tradesmen in our region; subsidising vocational education would mean that more tradesmen would fill this skills gap.
there is insufficient money for education anyway so subsidies should be reserved for the most important courses such as medicine and law to ensure people can qualify in these fields.
there is no guarantee that people would find a job
there is no need to pump tax money into vocational education when it is an accessible route via student loans and apprenticeships
there is no need to subsidize vocation education because most trade jobs are being replaced by robots anyways.
There is no need to subsidize vocational education for the same reason that vocational education is valuable, namely it leads to generation of income so students can take out loans.
There is no reason that universities and traditional secondary education provides inherently more value to students than a vocational education does.
there is no vocational education that could work
there is to much focus on academic routes of education and a shortage of people with vocational and technical skills that provide a more viable route into employment
there is too much focus on academic qualifications leading to thousands gaining qualifications that do not get them anywhere. a focus needs to be placed on vocational education
There's no need to subsidize vocational education because skills can be learned on the job as apprentices.
this can be unfortunate to some families as they would push their child into vocational education instead of university disregarding their wants
this would be an expensive exercise and probably not affordable for any government.
this would ensure almost everyone had a job, especially those who can't afford or desire higher academic education.  this in turn would help the economy and the poorer avoid poverty.
this would make it easier for people to get training  and give them job opportunities.
those who work and pay for their education are more apt to do better then those who are subsidized.
those who work with their hands will always be needed, so their education should be subsidized
too few people choose a trade.  subsizing it would make it more appealing to people in a time when they are most needed.
too many providers of vocational education, such as for-profit colleges, do not meet the standards of government subsidization.
