Lianxi 7 Students from rural areas often find it difficult to access university education. Some people think that universities should make it easier for them to access higher education. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Due to the low income and limited education resources in rural areas, it is often hard for students there to get access to achieve a higher degree. Universities can choose to give easier accesses to the rural students, but I do not think it is a responsibility these universities should take. Universities can take students' family backgrounds into consideration when they recruit new students. Before enrollment, they can send staff to rural areas to keep those students informed about their requirements and the latest changes of their evaluation system. They may set different standards according to the particular situation of different places. If students are from remote area, universities may not be too strict with them. Moreover, universities can provide poor students with student loans to relieve their financial pressure. However, I think government should also take action to increase the university enrollment rate of rural students. Local governments should offer those students subsidies if they are admitted by a university. And more fundamentally, governments need to invest more in education, such as providing advanced teaching equipment for the schools and hiring experienced teachers with a high salary to improve the education system in the underdeveloped areas. Governments can also encourage local enterprises to donate money and equipment to the rural schools. Overall, I think universities should ensure equal opportunity for everyone to get high education, but they also have the right not to change their enrollment requirements. Therefore, I think governments should be more responsible for giving easier access to students from rural areas.
