1. Aspiring students.
2. No change.
3. Don't quite get this question. I think share should be function.
4. No change
5. No change
6. Not sure what the question is here. Across is misspelled but I don't think that is the question.
7. accrediting should be accreditation.
8. The tool's function is... or the way to use the tool is to...
9 . Attend classes. (take part in class is also correct but has a slightly different meaning. I has the connotation of being in class and taking part as opposed to just being physically in the class.). Attending a class does not necessarily mean you are participating in class.
10. Tools function differently in different circumstances or when performing different tasks.
11. A lack of schools. (A deficit in the number of schools might be ok but is too stilted in my view). Deficient schools would indicate the schools are not good, not that there are too few.
12. A greater proportion of X do something as compared to (the proportion of Y who do it. e.g. - A greater proportion of men shave than the proportion of women who shave. 9 out of 10 men shave which is a greater proportion than the 3 of out 10 women who shave.
13. e.g. (as used in my previous paragraph stands for the latin phrase exempli gratia (which means "for the sake of example") Here is an example - I have lots of favorite colors, e.g., blue, green, and hot pink.
14. It depends on the whole sentence.
You could say, these problems were explained.

Or

These problems explained the reason we never could build an ark.

I would have to see the context you plan to use this in.

Hope this helped. By the way, at the web site below is an explanation of the use of e.g and i.e. You will likely want to use both at some point.
