Some people think that universities should provide graduates with the knowledge and skills needed in the workplace. Others think that the true function of a university should be to give access to knowledge for its own sake, regardless of whether the course is useful to an employer.
What, in your opinion, should be the main function of a university.
It is argued by some that universities should aim at offering both knowledge and the practical skills, while others consider the true meaning of a university is through textbooks solely. From my perspective, I believe that colleges should only work for passing on the knowledge.
To begin with, essential skills demanded in jobs are inferior compared to the knowledge stored in students' brains. Due to the fact that every graduate will have ample opportunities to practice relative skills in the working environment one day or another, therefore, experiences were obtained in no time. For instance, after me and my classmates graduated, tons of realistic challenges were waiting to be tackled with in order to improve our skills as soon as we were in positions.
Additionally, schools are the only places where we receive authentic information on what we intend to learn in the first place. There is need for universities to teach the skills used for work since it is our only chance to absord the fresh knowledge on textbooks thouroughly. For example, the major I am going to major in in the university of Melbourne is linguistic, it makes no sense if I waste the golden time for something I learn in work in school years.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that intitutions should work on the field where they are best at, instead of wasting extra energy and time to set up courses about learning working skills that are not meant for students since they are at the approriate time to study.
