Third essay
Question: Students from rural area often find it difficult to access to university education, so people think universities should make it specially easy for them to study at. To what extent do you agree or disagree.
The problem that students from rural area often have less chance to go to university is serious. However, the measure that universities offer easier way or lower standard for them to study at is unlikely to solve this problem effectively.
First, the real reason that the students are difficult to go to university is their weak conditions compared to peers in cities. So an effective solution is to help them to improve their conditions in aspects such as poor schooling conditions, limited information, lack of instruction and guidance to apply for universities. The government should invest more money to the primary education, the secondary education and the high school education in rural area. The fair educational environment, teachers, learning contents and training processes should be ensured in rural area as same quality as they are in cities. Then, students in rural area can have the same opportunities in the competition.
More importantly, the suggestion that set lower standards of access to universities for students in rural area can generate unfairness in the competition along with the corruption in social departments. Inarguably, university education is base on the belief that all students are treated equally despite of racial, national or economical background. So nobody can have the privilege to get the specially easy treatment. On the contrary, as we all know, it is the rich and powerful people that might afford to use this “privilege” to benefit their own children. They can change their identities from city dwellers into rural area citizens when their children are going to apply to universities. In this circumstance, the corruption might have an increasing rate in both the educational department and the demographic department.
Admittedly, because of the lower income families in rural area often have, it is the obligation of universities to offer more financial support to students in those families. With the aid, such as scholarship or assistantship, students in rural area can afford to go to university easily, which should be encouraged to universities. This kind of measures is not the same issue as the suggestion what simply “make it specially easy”.
In sum, though, the universities should be encouraged to set up numerous financial measures to support poor students from rural area, it is not reasonable that the universities offer easy access to enter for them. In fact, the unfair treatment might cause seriously adverse impact to the university education itself and might not help the students at all.
