Both the poor and the rich find the accessibility to university difficult. Do you agree or disagree?

The education system over the years has incorporated several guidelines for

admission

into schools, especially the tertiary schools to ensure that only the best candidates are admitted.

As a result

, it has become challenging for both the wealthy and poor who fail to meet the

admission

criteria to gain entrance irrespective of financial status. Apart from meeting the academic criteria for

admission

there is

also

the challenge of available facilities

such

as space and available lecturers.

As a result

intake is limited to available accommodation and lecturers to ensure that certain standards are upheld.

For instance

, in

University

of Toronto, the average number of students who gain

admission

annually is approximately 300 out of about roughly 600 individuals who apply. Certain criteria are used to carefully select individuals with very high grades into different faculties in order to maintain high educational standard and produce individuals that will contribute to the development of the society In Nigeria,

for example

, entrance examinations into tertiary institutions are organised by the Joint

university

examination Board for every prospective tertiary level candidate. Those that their grade meet the cutoff point for

university

and course of choice are invited for interview by the

university

for

further

screening.

Admission

is subject to success at all stages of the screening Without these restrictions several people irrespective of financial status will easily gain access to any school of their choice. In view of the above, I agree with the view that both the affluent and the poor face the same difficulty in gaining access to

university
