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 own opinion is the main function of a university?

In recent times, employers of labour have complained that job seekers do not meet their employment requirement.

Therefore

, some individuals think schools ought to incorporate skill

aquisition

the act of contracting or assuming or acquiring possession of something

acquisition

while impacting

knowledge

, whereas, some other people affirm that the main

function

of a higher institution is to teach students irrespective of the usefulness of the course in the labour market. In my opinion, the primary

function

of a university is to teach students to be useful in their society by furnishing them with both

knowledge

and handwork.

Firstly

, universities should equip undergraduates with hands-on experience alongside their studies because it helps them to be able to

function

effectively in their chosen career.

For example

, some Nigerian polytechnics' curriculum now involves a year internship programme for everyone,

thus

, creating a platform of opportunity for the pupils.

Hence

,

this

will increase their employability chances.

Secondly

, for a graduate to be able to work effectively, theoretical

knowledge

alone is not adequate as it is synonymous to throwing an amateur swimmer into the ocean to start swimming.

Therefore

, all learning

centers

an area that is approximately central within some larger region

centres

should ensure that they include a reasonable period of time for students to learn as it contributes to being confident at work.

For instance

, the medical curriculum of every college of medicine involves a

compolsory

required by rule

compulsory

one year

housemanship

.

Consequently

, most doctors discharge their duties

cofidently

with confidence; in a confident manner

confidently

. In conclusion, the main

function

of a university is both

knowledge

and skill

aquisition

the act of contracting or assuming or acquiring possession of something

acquisition

and these should be well taught so as to help graduates secure jobs quickly and enhance their ability to overcome challenges.
