Should university lower the G.P.A. requirement for students entering post-secondary education?

.        The G.P.A requirement for students’ entrance of universities should not be decreased. As more and more students want to get into post-secondary educations, the high G.P.A. requirement stops many students from entering universities or college. But it is necessary for those post-secondary education institutions to have the top portion of the overall students. For universities and colleges, they may not know the applicants’ personalities or behaviors. However, the G.P.A. is the only thing they can refer to. Universities and colleges must keep the requirement high enough to get better quality of students. Also, when higher quality students come into the post-secondary education, the institution can focus to provide better education as well. However, there is 1.7 million students at Canadian universities in 2016, and 1.6 million jobs were created for universities students between 2008 and 2017. In this case, more technical talents are needed for modern society. Though 1.6 million jobs were created for university students, it is almost three times those created for graduates of all other types of post-secondary education combined. When more and more students become the one doing theory-based job, less and less people would be doing the works. This will lead to lack of people with technical talents, so universities’ G.P.A. requirement must be in a high level to prevent this circumstance from happening. For universities, likewise, any other post-secondary institutions, it would have a higher difficulty compare to secondary school. Without the ability to get high G.P.A. in secondary school, it is hard to achieve in post-secondary education. Most of the times universities and colleges are easy to enter but hard to graduate. When the G.P.A. requirement is high enough, applicants can gain some awareness of the hard-works expected in universities or college. The high G.P.A. requirement can also make applicants think deeply about entering universities or not. In those cases, post-secondary institutions’ G.P.A. requirement should not be lowered.
