Ⅰ.Read the following passage carefully, and then choo the best answer A, B, C or D to each of the questions that follow. Plea write your answer on the Answer Sheet. (10%)
1. The Turkish government is planning to open 15 new universities in developing provinces of Turkey. This is a respon to pressure coming from local MPs who in turn voice the demands of their constituencies. While the already existing 85 universities are wrestling with financial and academic difficulties, it does not em to be a good idea to add new universities to the system of higher education.
2. First of all, the new universities will experience staffing problems. That is, they will have difficulty finding faculty that is qualified to teach in the budding universities. In our country the number of academicians who meet the academic requirements is limited. New universities will have two choices: either to draw from the existing pool or to employ under-qualified people. To attract tho instructors from other universities they will have to offer attractive incentives. Since the will be state universities they will not have the necessary funds and most academics will be unwilling to go to small town universities where academic and life standards are below par. The only venue open to the universities will be to employ local professionals or under-qualified instructors. Thus the unemployment problem of local teachers is solved. Yet, the inevitable result will follow: a drop in the quality of education.
3. In addition to recruitment problems, small town universities will have financial difficulties. The funds allocated to them by the state will not be enough to build from scratch all the facilities that make a university a “real university”. A university is more than a few classrooms. Students will need dorms, gyms, cafeterias, sports facilities, labs and c
omputers for their academic and social development. How many new universities can claim to have only a few of the facilities on their campus? The result will be a small town “university” which consists of a sole building that hous classrooms and offices, and nothing more.
4. It is argued that the establishment of a university in a developing town will contribute to the development of local culture, community and economy. However, if a university is wrestling with staff recruitment problems, or if it cannot solve its financial difficulties it means that it cannot be of any help to the local community or economy either. It will only employ a few locals, provide substandard education to a few local youth, and it will not fulfill the aim for which it was initially established.
5. Universities are institutions of higher education,accommodation翻译 they need to provide education to satisfy certain standards. In order to provide such quality education they need to have qualified teachers and must provide minimum social and academic facilities. Since funds are limited, we should rai the standard of our existing universities first. Only after that, should we invest in establishing new ones.
