Is education a commodity?
Higher education in the primary stage of socialism? As a student who is receiving higher education, my view is that higher education in the primary stage of socialism is a commodity, but it is also a special commodity, which needs the strong supervision of the government.

The definition of higher education is to cultivate educated people with employment skills, which makes higher education different from basic education. Higher education has a distinct employment color, which will be classified according to different educatees, so it also has different values and use values. And basic education only enables the educated to have general and universal knowledge and skills based on society. Of course, with the improvement of social productivity, people's knowledge requirements will also increase. Therefore, the upper limit of basic education and the lower limit of higher education should also be raised. However, the boundary between higher education and basic education should still exist, or at least exist for a long time. According to the definition of commodity, commodity is a labor product that is produced (or exchanged) and useful to others or society. Accordingly, higher education is completely available, so it can be said that higher education is a commodity and needs to be exchanged for use value.

Although higher education is a commodity, it should be regarded as a special commodity and needs the joint intervention of the government, individuals and society. As far as the government is concerned, higher education is also related to the strategic security of the country to some extent. Although the purpose of higher education is employment, the process of higher education also includes the acquisition of knowledge and skills, which is the same as basic education. Therefore, higher education is also related to the improvement of academics and the improvement of the country's comprehensive strength. Running higher education well is crucial to the development of a country. For example, running normal colleges well will play a good role in promoting basic education. At present, our country is in the primary stage of society and the productivity is underdeveloped. The state has invested a lot of money in nine-year compulsory education and higher education. According to statistics, the cost of training a college student is actually several times higher than the "tuition fee" paid now, which shows that the government has also undertaken a lot in the commodity exchange of higher education.

In addition, the government should vigorously strengthen the management of higher education, standardize its behavior, and guide higher education to develop in the right direction. Finally, it should be pointed out that although higher education is a commodity, it is by no means an endorsement for the existence of arbitrary charges. The existence of arbitrary charges is a kind of destruction to the current education system and social order, which should be severely cracked down.

Looking for it for a long time, I finally found it ~ ~ ~ I hope you can adopt it! ~~~~
