<< It can be argued that formal tertiary education, that is college or university education, should be available only to good or qualified students in order to maintain the high quality of education in these tertiary educational institutions.  Although some may say that the tertiary educations should be available to all students without qualification on the basis of consideration of equity, it seems to take priority to maintain the quality of education.  Yet, there is a necessity to consider the equity in terms of education, thus tertiary educational institutions should provide those who are not qualified with opportunities to study there in an informal way and to provide bridging school. It is thought that the tertiary educations should be available only to good students, in other words, who are satisfactory qualified, since this is necessary to maintain the level and quality of education provided in these educational institutions.  If they accept those who do not sufficiently meet the certain standard, the quality of education can be lowered. This is because those who are not qualified will not be able to keep up with the original standard of the schools.  When this happens, it is highly possible that they have to lower the standard of education so that the students can understand what is going on in the classes.  This, lowering of education standard, in the tertiary education institutions has an adverse influence in terms of public good.  Tertial education is to educate students so that they can contribute to society with their highly specialised knowledge.  For instance, those who are graduated from engineering faculty can invent new technology, which probably leads to further achievement of public good.  If the standard of the education in the tertiary education is lowered, it is less likely to happen that the graduates form universities and colleges can contribute to society to a greater extent. Some argue that tertiary education should be open to everybody, because education should be accessible to everybody.  It is true that anybody has a right to obtain education, if they wish to. Moreover, it is good in terms of public good that greater number of people are educated in the tertiary educational institutions, because public as a whole become more educated.  However, it is thought that necessity to maintain of the education standard will override this argument.  This is because, if they really wish to get accepted to these educational institutions, they can prepare themselves and study hard in order to do so. Thus, it appears that university should only accept those who are qualified. Tertiary education institutions, however, should be oped to the greater public and whoever who wish to study in an informal forms, where they can just listen to lectures not on the purpose of obtaining formal degrees but of learning for their own good.  This is less likely to lower the standard of education than formally accepting all the applicants.  Yet, this provides more opportunities to learn and take it consideration that everybody has right to study. Additionally, it is thought that tertiary education, though they should not accept those without qualification in a formal way, should provide opportunities to obtain qualification and knowledge that are sufficient to enter universities and colleges.  This can be done through providing bridging schools where applicants who are not qualified but willing to study can learn until they obtain enough qualification.
