Many people say that universities should only offer places to young students with the highest marks, while others say they should accept people of all ages, even if they did not do well at school. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Higher

education

is known for its numerous advantages. It is argued that universities should only accept young students with the highest academic performance at

school

;

however

, from my own point of view, people of all ages should be accepted at universities despite their marks at

school

.

This

essay will examine both sides of the issue. It is claimed that offering places in universities to only youngsters with the highest grades

is

Suggestion

are

better than accepting everyone. There is no doubt that higher educational institutes care about their reputation,

therefore

, they might only accept superior students, who will be able to study hard, and,

consequently

, gain more skills compared to students with low grades. Not only does

this

affect the university’s prestige, but it

also

guarantees that the student is not overloaded. If students with low educational standards enrol in a relatively difficult college, it will end up with failing the courses, so choosing students based on their grades might save them from failing. Even though these reasons might be convincing, it might sound unfair to some people. Quite

on the contrary

, it is believed that students should all be given the same opportunities in spite of their age and

school

performance. The

first

advantage of accepting people of all ages is giving them another chance to continue their

education

.

For instance

, something might have prevented them from studying at a university when they were young, so offering them places in universities will help them gain the needed skills to improve their career prospects. A

further

benefit is avoiding the unfairness of classifying people according to their performance at

school

. Based on my own experience,

school

is not always fair. Some students;

for example

, might have not received the same quality of

education

as other, which means that they have not been given the opportunity to excel at

school

due to having poor teachers. To conclude, offering places in universities for only those who achieved high marks at young ages should be stopped and equal chances should be given to everyone.

This

will allow all graduates to continue their higher

education

, which will improve the society in the future due to higher employment rate.
