When I was a high school student, high school education is not compulsory education. My parents had to pay the tuition payment for me, and I had found that the tuition payment was very high. It was almost equal to my family's whole year income, if take the book fee and the money used for the stationery into consider, it costed about $500 to $600 per year. I have told that now in my hometown, high school education become compulsory education and children can get it free. But Today the news told me that is not ture. The highest tuition payment for high school education is in China, especially in rural area. The tuition payment varies from $300 to $ 4000 per year here, which refused many children from poor families to have the high school education. Furthermore, students can not get enough support from the government in any form. I just want to know where our tax go? Why we have to suffer such a high tuition payment?
