People from poor and rural backgrounds find it difficult to get a university education. Some people think that government should make it easier for them to enter universities. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion.

To be offered for studying at college, a junior ought to meet the entrance requirements and pay tuition fees. These conditions are universal for all university applicants, which means that those from underprivileged backgrounds encounter more difficulties in obtaining higher education. I agree that

government

should introduce special arrangements to help

such

students

;

however

, they should not put others at a disadvantage. On the one hand, the

government

and colleges should introduce more scholarships and discounts for undergraduates from families with below-average income. Because in rural areas, the average household income is strikingly lower than that in urban ones.

In other words

, people from those places tackle paying tuition fees, which is the same budget for everyone.

For instance

, in Vietnam, the average earnings in Ho Chi Minh city are almost triple as high as in An Giang Province, in the southwestern part of Vietnam, yet pupils from small villages in An Giang Province and those from Ho Chi Minh are all required to pay forty million Vietnam dong per year to study at university. Without any doubt, the

government

and any academic institutions need to provide

such

rural

students

with financial support,

such

as studying promotion funds and discounting tuition fees.

On the other hand

, I hold the belief that universities need not decrease scores of the entrance requirement in terms of the fair standard.

This

means that the applications of

students

from underprivileged backgrounds and remote regions typically have a little success rate because these

students

often achieve lower grades at school. Perhaps those young people grow up in an environment that makes them less interested or even lose momentum for obtaining tertiary education and careers requiring

such

relevant skills.

Hence

, offering university places to them would be anti-meritocratic, as other

students

with excellent academic performance would be denied access to higher education, a goal for which they have worked so hard at school.

Consequently

,

such

a practice would discourage other

students

and would be counterproductive for society in general. In conclusion,

although

I agree that the

government

and universities should introduce for

students

from remote areas and below-average-income families, I believe that entry requirements should be the same for everyone. The smartest candidates deserve to be offered places at universities, irrespective of their background.
