Many people say that universities should only offer places to young students

with highest marks, others say they should accept people with all ages and
ability even if they do not do well at school. Discuss both view and give your
own opinion

People have different opinions on whether universities should offer places to

students with outstanding academic results at school or students irrespective of
ages and academic performance. Although both views are justifiable, I am of the
opinion that the latter is of greater significance.

Admittedly, academically gifted students should be prioritized to pursue higher

education due to some certain reasons. First, students who have good academic
results often show quicker absorption of knowledge than the others. To illustrate,
they can manifest skills in dealing with workload during educational process,
which ensures the quality of graduates at universities. Furthermore, that only
accepting academically inclined students is to remain reputation of the universities
in the community. For example, some top universities such as University of
Oxford and Harvard University yearly enroll students with a remarkable academic
result or research achievements. By accepting these gifted students who have
opportunities to win precious prizes like Nobel, the image of the universities can
enhanced around the world.

Nonetheless, I do favor in that students regardless of ages and their academic

ability need enrolling in universities. One prominent reason is that it creates fair
opportunities for individuals to pursue tertiary education. This means that they also
have a right to access education and are well-educated with specialized skills to
find high-paying jobs after graduation. Additionally, students with all ages and
abilities entering universities also make learning environment more diverse. To be
more specific, notwithstanding people’s not performing well at school, they may
have some talents for a particular field, which brings achievements in numerous
areas for the universities.

In conclusion, whilst it is understandable why universities only offer places to

students with high grades, I am convinced that students regardless of ages and
academic abilities should have right to enter higher education in terms of the fair in
education and their talents.
