Your Topic:
Some people believe that a college or university education should be available to all students. Others believe that higher education should be available only to good students. Discuss these views. Which view do you agree with? Explain why.
Your essay:
您的写作原稿：
While higher education should be available to all students, I am sorry to say I strongly believe that the higher education of better quality should be available only to better students because this is a simple resource management issue although it would hurt many people's feeling.
It is given that colleges and universities cannot possibly be built equally with the same quality of facility, faculty, curriculum, etc., which resulted in different school reputation. Therefore, certain schools must be more competitive than the others. Then the question is who should be selected to attend the better schools.
In California universities, there used to be a quota system ensuring the student race distribution does not deviate too much from that of the entire state. However, students in different ethnic groups do score very differently in the standard SAT and ACT exams. As a result, the minimum admission scores were quite different for different ethnic groups. The local newspapers called it reverse race discrimination and California state government reportedly cancelled the quota system few years ago.
As a matter of fact, Germany has been administering an exam at the end of primary school for years to divide their students into two categories. One for higher education and the other for vocational training. A system like this would make sure that limited educational resources are used in the most effective ways.
As for China, late Chairman Mao did make all the universities in China open to public, which lasted as long as 10 years! The result? These students were criticized as having college student title, using high-school textbooks and staying at primary school level. Not only the society refused to recognize them as college students, even the government officially called them "college trainee", instead of "college student".
Again, it would hurt some people's feeling, but the policy is strongly supported by early genetic research. My educational psychology textbook described the tracking investigation on twins from the same egg (or they would not have exactly the same genes), but growing up in different families for whatever reasons. If all babies were born equal in their future physical and mental abilities, there would be much less correlation between the twins than that between the twin and his/her sibling in the foster family. Unfortunately, "Statistics is science from God." The conclusion in the textbook is that the babies' future physical and mental abilities are 75% related to genes and 25% to the post-born environment and personal effort.
The truth is obviously there, but to be politically correct is something I have to admit very necessary. This is why every country is sending better students to better schools, but keeping the issue low-key.
[老中2008注: Hong Kong has no rural area, but it has been maintaining 17% youngsters in each age group to get local college education for years. In contrast, the mainland China now has 100% urban kids admitted to various colleges and universities. It we include all the rural areas, the college admission rate in each age group was only 1% in 1978, 4% in 1998 and 22% in 2008. The government is shooting at 50% in 2020!]
