( Word Reader - Unregistered ) www.word-reader.com Should higher education be available to all? The issue of who should attend college appears to be a controversial one Some people believe that it should be available to good students only, for it would provide the society with excellent specialists, raise the prestige of universities and be beneficial to the students themselves However, after careful thought, I am inclined to support those, who think that high education must be available to everyone, who chooses to have it First, the system of determining whether a student is capable or not is not perfect Many outstanding scientists, like Einstein, were doing extremely bad at school It is also not uncommon that a smart teenager is neglecting the studies because of the physiological problems of the age Second, the practice of selecting the students on the basis of the school grades only, would lead to a huge discrimination of many young people, and would deprive them a chance to improve their lives and pursue the careers they are interested in I believe, it is absolutely out of the question in the modern society Finally, if the universities and colleges were highly selective, they would sooner or latter end up being corrupted, because it is a fate of any closed and prestigious institution To conclude, I want to note that although the arguments of ?higheducation-for-good- students-only?supporters sound very reasonable, I am convinced that the higher education must be available to all, who want to get it
