Universities should accept equal numbers of male and female students in every subject. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
In my opinion, men and women should have the same educational opportunities.
However
, I do not agree with the idea of accepting equal proportions of each gender
in every university
subject. Having the same number of men and women on all degree courses
is simply unrealistic. Student numbers on any course depend on the applications that the institution receives. If a university
decided to fill courses
with equal numbers of males and females, it would need enough applicants of each gender
. In reality, many courses
are more popular with one gender
than the other, and it would not be practical to aim for equal proportions. For example
, nursing courses
tend to attract more female applicants, and it would be difficult to fill these courses
if fifty per cent of the places needed to go to males. Apart from the practical concerns expressed above, I also
believe that it would be unfair to base admission to university
courses
on gender
. Universities should continue to select the best candidates for each course according to
their qualifications. In this
way, both men and women have the same opportunities, and applicants know that they will be successful if they work hard to achieve good grades at school. If a female student is the best candidate for a place on a course, it is surely wrong to reject her in favour of a male student with lower grades or fewer qualifications. In conclusion, the selection of university
students should be based on merit, and it would be both impractical and unfair to change to a selection procedure based on gender
