雅思大作文点评-高等教育对城乡学生的公平性

Students from rural areas often find it difficult to access university education. Some people think that universities should make higher education easier for them to access. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

The financial cost of education is creating a huge barrier for many rural families. People who focus on declining rural access to tertiary education argue that rural students should receive an easier opportunity to attend universities. Although this suggestion may help them get rid of poverty by receiving higher education, I believe that it is unfair for other students and other better methods can be implemented to solve this problem.

Most rural students are from less well-off backgrounds, and their families are less likely to invest much money for their education. So students from deprived communities cannot perform well in university entrance exams, compared to students in urban areas. If universities can make these exams easier for those disadvantaged students, they can thus have an opportunity to pursue a degree, then find employment and break the circle of poverty in the future.

On the other hand, this change violates the principle of educational equality. It is clear that great efforts have been made by urban students in their studies, they will never agree to let others pass the exam easily. It is not difficult to imagine that students from well-off backgrouds would try their best to find a way to take part in college entrance exams in rural areas, if this policy conducted.

In fact, th e other methods such as strengthening countryside’s elementary education and providing abundant educational resources for rural students can be taken into account in relation to improve college-going rates. Governments can also provide funds for students who are eager to learn and have performed well in martriculation exams. Financial support can come in various forms, such as scholarship, free-interest loans. With the help from governments, disadvantaged students can have equal access to education as well.

In conclusion, universities should not treat students from the countryside differently, some alternative methods can be explored for educational improvement in rural areas.
