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 suggest that universities should accept the same number of male and female
students
 in all
subjects
 to promote
gender
 equality. I believe that the equality of male and female
students
 should be protected.
However
, I disagree that the same number of enrolments of each
gender
 is an appropriate way. I will illustrate my opinion in the below paragraph. Nowadays, there are still many inequalities happening in our society. One

 inequalities.
For instance

lower pay, and only a small percentage of
women
 can reach leadership positions.
Therefore
 we should do something to make our society more equal.
This
 may include making sure that
women
 and men have the same opportunity to get a decent education.
Nevertheless
, I do not agree that enrolling the same number of male and female
students
 in every subject is the right method. It is not the expectation that the interest of any university

On the other hand

subjects

 as nursing and hospitality have more female student enrolment.

However
