  1. Please provide me a review about the shortcoming in my essay. I believe this is an average level of essay, but I fear it may be worse. Please help me improve the essay for my GRE exam. Prompt: Governments should offer a free university education to any student who has been admitted to a university but who cannot afford the tuition “Equality manifests itself in education” – Mr. A P J Abdul Kalam states during the convocation at Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University. The government should provide aid to students who cannot afford the tuition at the university. This provides a level playing field amongst the rich and the poor sections of the society. Since such programs allow the weaker sections of the society get an opportunity to pursue higher levels of education, these programs also help in the overall development of the society. Students admitted into reputed university should be provided necessary financial aid by the government. A student with a keen interest in geophysics may be deprived the opportunity to study in a world class university due to the lack of financial resources. This opportunity is later passed on to a student who has scored lower marks but has to financial resources to pay the university tuition. If the poorer student gets financial aid from the government, he/she would be able to compete equally with the richer guy, ensuring that the opportunity is passed only to the deserving student. Also, the universities can make unbiased decisions in selecting the candidates since they do not have to consider the financial capabilities of the candidates. This reduces the financial discrimination in the education sector, and ensures that the right opportunity reaches the right candidate. However, it may be countered that a lot of financing options are provided by banks to students in the form of educational loans. These loans although are a substantial financial assistance to the students admitted into a university, they are provided based on the salaries or the credit scores of the student’s parents. Thus, these loans end up being beneficial only to the richer students and the poorer students remain outside the purview of these loans. Additionally, by providing the poor with the opportunity to better education, the government indirectly aids the development of the poorer section of the society. These students getting world class education would be better able to represent their communities in global forums and ensure that the pain of the poor in discussed at all levels of governance. Thus, government providing financial aid to students admitted into universities would go a long way in developing the society and ensure equal opportunities for the poor.
