It
is often said that based upon thought of equality, opportunity of education
should be equal to everyone in spite of a doubt whether it is actually
effective or not. However, I firmly support the idea that we had better give
the intellectual chance to more potential students in terms of happiness and
attendance rate.
To
begin with, contrary to good students, higher education bothers poor students
from living a happy-life. This is attributed to the fact that most of them did
not want to study advanced subjects even if intellectual knowledge tends to
represent their power in society by showing their ability to know various
things especially in academic fields. Thus, forcing them to study more only
make them get stressed out by worrying about it. According to the Ministry of Education
of Korea in 2009, there was a huge difference between two groups of poor students
in happiness index. Students in group A were required to take advanced classes
and those in group B were limited to take basic courses during one month. The
researchers showed that the level of happiness of the latter group was much
higher than that of the former group. Moreover, those in group A had to
constantly worry about finishing difficult assignments and reports. This implies
that the higher education is better restricted to good students.
In
addition, forcing poor students to get higher education discourages them from
attending every class. This is due to the fact that taking these difficult
courses can be useless because the poor student are not ready to study and
understand such courses. When they feel these courses is worthless, they are
not likely to attend class. According to a study conducted by Seoul National
University of Korea in 2009, the attendance rate of the poor students who are
forced to take advanced classes had decreased geometrically in direct proportion
to the level of the courses. The contributing factor was the courses'
difficulties in which they lose interests in studying them. This implies that
as we expect easily, the higher education is not appropriate for the poor
students.
In brief,
even if it looks like unequal unlike people's common idea, as for poor
students, the higher level of classes are not adequate for them only to let
them live a stress-filled life besides lowering attendance rate. In conclusion,
good students should only provided with higher education.
