Universities should accept equal numbers of male and female students in every subject. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Among other prominent changes that 21st century has brought with it, one of the highly debated topic is w

rights. Now that the right of equal opportunities for female gender is being accepted at different international forums, some people suggest that equal numbers of students from

both

should be accepted by the universities in each discipline. In my opinion, I totally disagree with

this

stance and

this

will be analysed by looking at fairness of quota system and analysis of

For example

, as per most recent statistics issued by Higher

Education

Commission, around 75% of recent admissions in higher

education

represents male students and opposite sex accounts for only 25% of

such

admission.

Hence

the equal reflection of each sex in university

does not necessarily means that the same proportion follows in the jobs.

This

can be exemplified by the analysis conducted by University of Health S
