Many people say that universities should only offer places to young students with the highest marks, while other 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

this

knowledge-based society, where the acquisition of knowledge is the key to better career prospects and having access to

university

education is a life-changing opportunity for many

students

.

Nevertheless

, some people claim universities should only accept young pupils with the highest grades, whereas others emphasise every student regardless of age and academic ability should be given equal educational opportunities. I will discuss both views and state my opinion in the following essay.

Firstly

, those who support the idea of high school

students

with higher grades are more deserved to attend

university

point of their superior to their academic skills when compared to their peers.

Therefore

,

such

scholars are more likely to handle the immense workload and pressure at

university

.

Moreover

, offering

university

places only a limited number of

students

would result in high-quality undergraduates.

For instance

, many well-known universities in Vietnam

such

as National Economic

University

or Foreign Trade

University

recruit only the highest scorers in the national

university

entrance exam in order to make sure that all of the resources are available for

students

who have a higher chance of success.

However

, supporters of the

second

opinion believe it is unfair to older

students

or those who do not

well

Add a missing verb

do well

show examples

at school. A student's age or performance at school does not always reflect their potential to succeed at

university

.

Thus

, it is unethical to deny access to tertiary education to some

students

, especially in a world where formal qualifications are of great importance in gaining employment.

Also

, there is more to college admissions than just academic performance.

For instance

, some universities

such

as Yale or Havard , not only accept academically gifted

students

but

also

those who are particularly gifted in sport or art.

This

helps to maintain a diverse community, where each student is valued and rewarded for what they are good at

instead

of just academic excellence. In conclusion,

although

only accepting

students

with high marks is advantageous in some ways, I believe providing higher education for all

students

is more just and beneficial in the long term.
