Over the last few
years more and more students enroll in universities. This situation creates
competition among individuals. Do you agree or disagree? Is it a good or a bad
development?

| Students Enroll in Universities |
With academic excellence gaining prominence, a strange trend
is developing among the pupils as everyone is seeking enrollment in varsities. This
has given rise to a race of sorts among the younger generation to secure higher
grades in the secondary studies. Some feel, this is surely a thing to worry
about, while others look at the positive side of it.
Better academic qualifications have always been the objectives
of pupils seeking academic excellence. To achieve this, the pupils tend to opt
for reputed varsities that are equipped with better faculties and facilities. This
has given rise to a stiff competition among the people as the number of seat
available in departments of universities are limited which in turn has raised
the cut-off percentages in selection lists.
Such neck to neck race would surely cast an unholy shadow on
the current education system as other venues of imparting courses may become
irrelevant shortly. There could be another negative impact on the education
system as courses being hosted by the colleges and other alternatives institutions
may not be considered suitable and adaptable thereby rendering the academic
pursuits of students of these establishment inappropriate. This could finally
lead to a collapse of the whole setup.
However, some educationists and planners feel that this is a
positive development as the recent drift of pupils towards university would not
inspire them to gain more proficiency in their elementary pursuits, but also help
in developing their attitudes to obtain deeper knowhow in any discipline they
pursue. Moreover, the institutions clubbed under non university categories
would also be encouraged to raise the standards of academics and facilities
being offered currently.
To sum up, I personally feel that the inclination for universities
would bring around positive results in the long run.
