Topic 1_equal numbers of male and female students_ngocphan

Recently, there has appeared a hot controversy over numbers of male and female students in universities. Many people think that the gender ratio should be set 1:1 by universities in every subject. However, as far as I am concerned, I totally dissent from this idea because it can cause inequality for students, inconvenience for the university and labor waste for society.
First and foremost, accepting equal numbers of students according to their sexes in all subjects is so unfair for them. It cannot be denied that males and females have their own characteristics, likings and abilities. For example, males are often stronger than females. They tend to like science and technology while women prefer lighter work like needlework or cooking, so each gender knows more about that field than the other does. As the result, there are some jobs that are more suitable to this gender than the other. Therefore, if the policy is administered, many skillful male students can be ruled out by worse female ones and vice versa, causing inequity between students.
In addition, this policy may cause a lot of troubles for the university itself. Needless to say, no one feel comfortable if he or she has to suffer disparity. Students, especially female ones, may oppose the policy and use some ways like complaining about that university through media to struggle for their interest. It eventually has bad effect on its reputation. Another obstacle is that the number of females and males applying for a subject is not equal. So if very few of one of the two sides want to take a subject, the university will encounter some problems finding enough students for a subject. More seriously, because man and women have different background on one certain field; for instance, men have more skills in computer programming than women do. Then teachers will also find it more difficult to instruct all students due to their differences of ability to acquire.
Finally, labor waste is likely to happen if the numbers of school-boys or school-girls are limited. The fact is that the policy will weed out many competent candidates while accepting less proficient ones. The outcome will be that the value of society’s labors will be less than it would be. The problem can become more serious if those competent candidates have to join other fields in which they do not have motivation to be willing to devote and they work very badly. Thus, it will be such a waste if universities indirectly impede what they want to pursue by that way.
In short, universities should not require equal numbers of genders because it may trigger injustice, troubles and labor waste. Instead, they should focus more on students’ quality.
