Overall assessment

Why this response received Band 5.0

The response’s strongest aspect is its clear support for gender equality and its attempt to justify wider access through social and educational examples. Its main limitation is fundamental: it ends mid-sentence without a conclusion and discusses equal opportunity more than the exact proposal of fixed equal enrolment in every subject. The highest-priority improvement is to complete the essay and directly evaluate the practical merits and drawbacks of subject-by-subject quotas.
