tokens: Should universities accept equal number of males/females or not Education is important for the development of the world . Its a debatable issue whether universities should accept equal number of males and females in a course or not . However, since both genders are equally important, both must be given equal opportunities . Universities must admit both in equal numbers, depending on their choices . Right to education is a basic human right of both, males and females . The whole world aims for women empowerment, and to achieve this, females should be given equal opportunities as males . When universities will accept them in equal number, both genders will be able to nurture their talent and a healthy competitive environment will develop . Co-education helps both genders to gel well with each other . It helps them how to behave and cooperate and work together . For example, students studying in boy's colleges do not generally know how to talk to a female or behave in front of them . On the other hand, females studying in girl's colleges are too shy to face boys . Co-education will help to eradicate this kind of demerit in both . Universities giving both genders equal opportunities, will prepare them for future challenges and will help in the long run . Unfortunately, some male chauvinists think that women are incapable in particular fields, like maths, mechanical engineering, defense etc . This kind of gender biased approach is detrimental for the development of the society . Time and again, women have proved their mettle in every field . Women like Margaret Thatcher, Indira Gandhi, Mari Curie etc ., are symbols of women's intelligence and skills . Thus, I firmly believe that both genders have equal rights and universities should accept them in equal numbers . Equality in education will help in development of the society . Both genders are the fulcrum of the society and none of them is superior or inferior . Choice of course should be the discretion of the student and their merit, irrespective of the gender . Educational rights must be given to both genders .
