Q : Universities should accept equal numbers of male and female students in every subject. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some people believe universities have a gender balance in the number of students. On the other hand, other people believe universities should not have any limit for entrance about gender. I slightly agree that universities should have a gender quota for the entrance.

The reason for a necessity of equality numbers of male and female in universities is against sexual discrimination. Of course there should be equal opportunities in education apart from the sexes. But, a military school in Korea assigns high portions of score for the entrance exams in physical area such as physical training and military training. It becomes big advantages for men because men are better than women biologically. Like this example, the sexual discrimination exists in education, and equality of opportunities in education should be protected by the constitutional law in democratic countries. However people should understand the specialty of military because basically military is for protection our countries from attacking by other countries. In the battle, men are more useful than women. Also it is not discrimination but difference.

Despite equality of opportunity in education is important, the control of numbers of genders in some subjects is a good idea. For instance, a university of education in Korea has number of male quota because there are female teachers more than 90 percent in elementary schools. Although children have to get education from both male and female teachers, now Korean children have to study with only female teachers.

To conclude, if universities restrict on the number of students by gender in every subject, could be reverse discrimination. However, controlling the students of gender rate in some specific subject is needed because of their specialty of the area or necessity of balance for gender rate of the field.
