3) Educational institutions have a responsibility to dissuade students from pursuing fields of study in which they are unlikely to succeed.

The statement claims that educational institutions are responsible for students' success, and they should dissuade students from pursuing fields of study where they are unlikely to succeed. Since talented persons who can make contribution to the society can be fostered through education, educational institutions have responsibility for students' success. On one hand, education can affect students' value of life, which have something to do with one's success; on the other hand, students can learn numerous skills from education, which directly affect students' success.

The statement seems to assume that success is explained by the contribution levels that one makes. Through dissuading students from pursuing fields of study where they are unlikely to succeed, more students can be leaded to a success way, and thus they can make more contribution to the society. For instance, a student, who is not good at math, educational institutions should dissuade him pursuit the fields which have high requirement for math such as financial fields.

However, students don't necessarily fail in those fields of study where they are unlikely to succeed. Take Hu Ba yi who is a famous mathematician as an example. Since many times he got zero in  math exams when he was a little boy, it seems that he was unlikely to succeed in math field of study, and if educational institutions dissuade him from pursuing of this field, he may not become  such a celebrated mathematician.     

In addition, of course, it is a success to make contribution to the society, however, to realize one's own value of life can be another success. And educational institutions should define their own assignment which is to explore how to aid and manage teaching, rather than interfering students' choice. There is a relationship between students' pursuit of study's fields in which they may fail in and their thought about their own value of life: some believe their value of life is pursuing knowledge and be desire to satisfy their curiosities; some consider to challenge various unknown fields, devoting themselves for science... Since students have the right to choose education, educational institutions should respect students' own interest and mind, offering equal educational resources.

In conclusion, rather than dissuading students not to pursuit fields of study where are unlikely to succeed, educational institutions are responsible to instruct students to discern their own goal, and try their best to offer sufficient educational resources to aid students to realize their value of life.
