Sample Essay

It is an undeniable fact that youngsters who live in villages or small towns and who belong to financially weaker sections of society struggle to access tertiary education. Consequently, a suggested solution to this issue is to smoothen the path to institutions of higher education for such students.

There is many a reason to assent to this solution. It goes without saying that equal opportunity for each one is imperative which is only possible if everyone has a fair and equal chance of succeeding. However, due to social and financial inequalities, many are at a disadvantage. Not only do they usually lack knowledge of opportunities but there is also dearth of guidance of how to apply to premium institutes. For someone with the right educational background, guidance, and exposure, it may be child’s play to fill in university admission forms and settle into the new environment on the college campus. In contrast, those who are not privileged, these could be herculean tasks. Additionally, kids from privileged families have their parents motivating and encouraging them. This gives them added advantages of confidence and belief in self.

Conversely, there are certain apprehensions against relaxations in eligibility criteria for  certain prospective students. It is rightly argued that this flexibility may lower the quality of learners which would finally result in sub-standard workforce. However, rather than accepting this viewpoint, the need of the hour is to face this challenge. Therefore, universities can have intensive courses for such students in the first semester to bridge the learning gap.

Finally, I strongly support the cause of providing a level playing field for one and all. Hence, it is the responsibility of society as a whole to facilitate ingress into universities and colleges for those who may be left behind because of social, geographical, or financial inequalities.
