▶ Your Answer :
In a
fast-paced faced society, people need to become experts in their own fields.
Students want to matriculate at a university which gives good chances to learn
profound knowledge in their own. As higher education requires social aids such
as governmental funds and private donations, some people argue that higher
education should be available should be available only to good students.
However I strongly oppose this notion. Because higher education which is
limited to good students will trigger other social problems. Also, not all good
students make better academic results in higher education.
First of all, if higher education is available
only to good students, it incurs a variety of social problems. The limitation
will reduce the number of graduates in higher education because students could
not go to a university. Accordingly, companies will pay more for employing the
reduced graduates. If this phenomenon continues, higher education will become
students’ social status regardless of their real capabilities. On top of that,
parents will force excessive studies on their children. Even though parents’ interest
for educational courses is helpful for children’s academic achievements, the
excessive interest will limit the free of students, and become a financial
burden in home. For example, in Korea, higher education tends to open only to
good students. Thus, students should attend private academies after school
without their willingness. According to a statistics, Korean parents spend 60
percentage of their incomes for attending private academies and language
training abroad. Before to initiate the limitation, the expected problems
should be considered.
Moreover, not all good students make better
academic results in higher education. Higher education offers classes focused
on one field. In contrast, good students have good scores in overall
educational courses. If a student who has a talent and interest in one subject
does not gain good scores in other subjects, he could not become a good student
in the current evaluation mode. However, as higher education focuses on one
subject, the unqualified student would make a better result in a university.
However, the limitation will take a forfeit of an opportunity for the student
to become an expert in his field via higher education. For instance, Albert
Einstein explicitly shows that the aforementioned argument is wrong. Einstein
was not a good student in school, although he shows a great talent and interest
in Physics He left the school, and studied in home. The Admissions committee
respected his talent and passion in Physics and allowed him to matriculate in the
university. With higher education, he made incredible results in Physics.
Hence, it is clear that higher education
should be available not only to good students, but also students who want to
learn. Above all, the limitation will incur many social problems such as
limitation on the free of students and financial burdens. Furthermore, students
who have passion and a talent in one subject could make better results than
so-called good students. I believe that all students who want to learn have to
have a chance to study in higher education. |
