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

#universities #numbers #students
Nowadays, many people argue that colleges must accept their applicants based on their
gender
. Personally, I completely disagree with
this
 idea. My main reasons for
this
 are that there may be different interests and strengths between male and female
students
.
Moreover
, forcing universities to accept equal-
gender
students
 may lead to some issues with merit-based admissions. First and foremost,
due to
 human nature, there are some differences between male and female brains and strength.
As a result
, some jobs like engineering that require lifting heavy parts will not be suitable for females so engineering colleges will not be familiar to females.
On the other hand
, nursing and education fields are not popular in male communities.
As a consequence
, requiring equal ratios of
students
 in all subjects will limit the choices and opportunities in front of applicants
due to
 their
gender
 rather than their interests and strengths.
Additionally
, it is important to accept the fact that there is not always the same number of applicants whether male or female for a certain subject. So, colleges should not lower their limits of qualifications and standard admissions simply to achieve the
gender
 quota. The main goal of universities is to have qualified graduates who will build their nations, regardless of
gender
. In conclusion,
gender
-based standard admission proved its failure
due to
 some reasons. One of them, there is a difference between men’s and women’s abilities and interests.
In addition
, universities will accept unqualified
students
 to achieve the
gender
 quota, regardless of their qualifications. In my point of view, I completely disagree with
this
 idea for the mentioned reasons.
