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

In my opinion, men and women should have the same educational opportunities.

However

, I do not agree with the idea of accepting equal proportions of each gender in every university subject. Having the same number of boys and girls on all degree plans is simply unrealistic. Student figures on any course depend on the applications that the institution receives. If a higher education system decided to fill programs with equal digits of males and females, it would need enough applicants of each sex. In reality, many systems are more popular with proportions.

For example

,nursing courses tend to attract more female applicants, and it would be difficult to fill these ways if fifty per cent of the places needed to go to males. Apart from the practical concerns expressed above, I

also

believe that it would be unfair to base admission to university policy on sex. Universities should continue to select the best candidates for each course according to their qualifications. In

this

way , both men and women have the same opportunities, and applicants know that they will be successful if they work hard to achieve good grades at school. If a female student is the best candidate for a place on a course, it is surely wrong to reject her in favour of a male student with lower grades or fewer qualifications. In conclusion, the selection of university students should be based on merit, and it would be both impractical and unfair to change to a selection procedure based on gender.
