自從學費制度實施以來，它已成為中國的熱門話題。人們對此問題的看法各不相同。
有人認為，世界上沒有一所大學不向學生收費。至于中國，她是發展中的國家，人口居世界首位。政府沒有能力撥出足夠的經費來支付教學設施和名目繁多的費用。 解決這個問題的方法之一，就是學生繳學費。這樣籌集的錢可以用來改善辦學的條件。
然而，另一些人則反對學費制度。他們爭辯說，中國人民，尤其是貧困農村人民的生活水平與西方世界相比仍然很低。大學的學費制度肯定會增加工薪階層的父母本來已經很沉重的負擔。此外，學費可能成為發展中國高等教育的障礙，因為它使一些有才能的學生只是由于貧困而不能進大學。

Tuition system has become one of the hottest topics in China since it was put into effect. Reports on this topic are published in a variety of newspapers and magazines. People differ greatly in their opinions on it.
Some people think that there is no university in the world which is open to students without tuition. As far as China is concerned, it is a developing country with the largest population in the world. The government is unable to allocate enough funds to pay for various teaching facilities and many different kinds of expenses. One of the ways to relieve the problem is for students to pay tuition. The money raised in this way can be used to improve the conditions for running schools.
Others, however, are opposed to the tuition system. They argue that the living standard of the Chinese people, especially of those in the poor rural areas, is still low, compared with that in the Western World. The university tuition will certainly add to the already heavy burden of the parents, who live on their salaries or wages. Moreor, tuition may become an obstacle to the development of China＇s higher education. This is because it hinders some talented people from entering the university just on account of their poverty.
