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

#universities #numbers #students
Some
people
 think
universities
 should have the same proportion of
men
 and
women
 in every major.I completely disagree with
this
 idea for serval reasons. One reason why I think
universities
 should not give the same numbers of male and female students is that it's not practical and realistic.
Men
 and
women
 tend to be interested in different subjects.
For instance
,
men
 are often keener on history, politics and engineering;
While
women
 are often more interested in subjects like education, psychology and art. So some
courses
 will have mainly male applicants,
while
 others are more popular with females. So if a university decided to fill
courses
 with equal numbers of males and females, it would be difficult to fill
courses
 like nursing as fifty per cent of the places needed to go to males. Another reason I disagreed is that would not be fair.
People
 should be accepted onto
courses
according to
 their abilities, and gender should not be relevant in education. If we force a regulation on the equal number of both gender, some
people
 who have higher scores may not be able to gain access to
universities
,
while
 some
people
 who have lower grades can have the opportunity to continue studying.
This
 is neither good in moral nor economic dimensions.
Universities
 should select the best candidates
according to
 their qualifications. In
this
 way, both
men
 and
women
 have the same opportunities. In conclusion, I have a good reason to believe that having an equal number of
men
 and
women
 in
universities
 in every subject is not a good idea.
