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.
In recent years, many
people
believe that universities
ought to prepare seats for young students with the highest of marks only. On the other hand
, some others believe that tertiary education
should be made available for people
of all ages although
they may not have performed well at schools
. This
essay would attempt to compare the merits of both ways of thinking.
It’s irrefutable that the large majority of universities
today are meant for young people
. The reason for that is
because the young generation is the heirs to the future, so it would be fair to say that they deserve more chances than people
of other ages to learn. If higher education
does not offer learning opportunities to older people
, the young generation would have more places available for them. In addition
, the idea to offer seats in universities
to the students with the highest marks only may not be entirely bad as they are bright, intelligent and hard-working youngsters, they put plenty of effort into studying so that’s why they get the best marks.
On the contrary
, the idea to accept people
of all ages and abilities is not entirely bad as well. If higher education
approves for older people
to join in studying, this
would create a great opportunity for different-aged people
to meet, get to know, and learn from each other. Every generation has its strong and weak points. Giving them a chance to be close to each other would slowly help them to improve each other’s weak points. Secondly
, accepting older people
into universities
can help a person get a chance to learn more or to restart their life. Apart from that, people
’s willingness to learn should also
be considered since their younger selves’ performances at schools
are based on various factors. For example
, in the past, many people
have to deal with their performances at schools
and endeavour to earn a living at the same time, this
situation leads to some of them may have to get bad results at schools
as an obvious consequence.
In conclusion, neither of the ideas is completely disadvantageous, both of them have their particular upsides. Higher education
ought to consider opportunities for both young and older people
since everyone deserves a chance to learn.Submitted by mingm0301 on
