Some people call for easier access to universities for
students
with a humble background. While it may give more chances for certain kinds of pupils, I personally reckon that
this
policy
will have serious negative impacts on both society and individuals.
First
of all, special treatments for disadvantaged
students
in college admission can undermine social justice since it is hard to give a clear demarcation of family status and the extent of reduction in requirements.

Furthermore
, for the individuals’ sake, the simpler entrance to tertiary education will restrict personal development, in terms of knowledge acquisition and self-confidence. The

with less knowledge base will find it hard to keep pace with the teaching progress in universities that are designed for the majority of undergraduates that have
