University Education Should Be Available for All
Many people propose the idea that higher
education should be available to only
qualified students-students with certain
aptitudes, who have achieved an excellent
academic performance. However,l beg to differ
for the following reasons.
To begin with, the general level of education nationwide
has always been employed as a criterion to gauge how
advanced or developed a society is. In an ideal egalitarian
society, everyone should be able to receive higher
education unless he willingly forgoes that option. In other
words, education should not be viewed as a privilege enjoyed
only by people who are endowed with certain talents.
Furthermore, it would be tremendously beneficial to any
society if the general public6 rather than the fortunate
few can enjoy higher education. A wide range of social
issues can be effectively remedied by a high-quality
education which imparts crucial moral principles. In
addition, a great amount of economic value can be
generated if higher education is available to more people.
Yet, I also concede that it may not be practical or
realistic to provide higher education to everyone owing to
limited financial as well as human resources. Not
even the most affluent nation in the world can fulfill
that objective at this stage.
In the final analysis, I believe that the more
people who can receive higher education,
the better off a society will be.
