Should schools (university and college and high school) teach student about specific careers and a job instead of general knowledge and subjects? Would you agree or disagree? |
There might be various opinions over the topic of the content that is instructing in the universities nowadays. According to a reknowned news paper, the Washington Post, several companies managers already pointed out that their freshmen employees does not meet their expectation in terms of working skill and said universities must help students prepare in order for their future careers. However, i would disagree with the very opinion based on two reasons such as basic learning and creativity of university education.
To begin with, universities are the places that teach us basic knowledge, not special job skils that is needed for the companies. In other words, universities' main function is not job preparation. there are already many job career centers around our community that helps graduates to prepare their job skills. It is important universities focus on the point such as critical thinking, team projects throup the group work, and, also, discipline through the course work.
In addition, universities are there to promote students' creativity without any kinds of commercial consideration. If university aim to job related abilities to write market reasearch paper or mission statement, where could we seriousely learn about history or philosophy which are the basis of entire education? Moreover, where could the pure creativity possibly exist? Be more efficient, as learning special skills, might be a good attitude for the companies. However, had those kind of skiils being emphasized, creativity and freedom of university learning could be overlooked sometimes.
To sum up, universities hold important function on our society because they plant robust basics and creativity on students. Those morals cannot be learned witout 4 years of university education. Greduates are not suppose to utilized with job skills but Those morals that make up their social capability. Without firm basis any kinds of skyscrapers are just the buildings made by sand.
