Many
people say that Universities should offer places to young students with highest
marks. Others feel that they should accept people with all ages, even if they
do not do well. Discuss both views and give your opinion. .
More and more universities, today, are
establishing higher intake score benchmarks for aspirants under a specified age
- for entry. Many find these stipulations quite rational though many voice
their dissent over this, calling it unfair.
Varsities are premier places of education
that have limited spaces. The dilemma of the authorities, in this case, is
quite justifiable. If everyone were rendered a chance of entering these
institutions, the possibility of the most deserving learners being deprived of
opportunities of finding a place would increase by virtue of first come first
serve rule coming into play. This would mean a great loss not only for the
students but also for the society, as well.
Moreover, university courses need an
intensive full-time study routine, as well as a high level of intellect, which
average performers and ones being unable to commit themselves completely due to
professional and personal obligations, may find it hard to cope with. This
would not only cause a decline in quality of outcomes but also a rise in
drop-outs. Thus, causing financial loss too – due to loss of fee with learners
leaving mid-way.
Some, nevertheless, find little substance
in this policy. They feel, marks scored in exams – which may be obtained using
strategies and unfair means - fail to not
elucidate true brilliance. Furthermore, an older individual may not have been
able to enroll for a course because of certain limitations, but may be needing
to join one in order to augment their skills. This would quite an injustice to
those people.
To conclude, I feel that it is even though
true that varsities need to prevent chaos and also maintain their academic
reputation, a middle path must be discovered to also let in those who are
willing to find a place in these institutions.
