Some people think that universities should provide graduates with the knowledge and skills needed in the workplace. Others think that true function of the university should be to give access to knowledge for its own sake, regardless whether the course is useful to an employer. What, in your opinion, should be the main function of a university?

Although

, it is critical that people entering the

workplace

have

However

, in my view, post secondary institutes must provide the

knowledge

for what it is irrespective of what the practical

field

demands.

Firstly

, universities are the source of cultural and scientific evolution in any society. So for empiricism and rationality to really take hold, it is crucial that academic learning must be free from the

clutues

the act of grasping

clutches

of the practical demands. If the

knowledge

is only subjugated to

workplace

requirements, institutes may opt out a

sepcific

(sometimes followed by 'to') applying to or characterized by or distinguishing something particular or special or unique

specific

thing because it is

the practical requirement leaving a course and curriculum devoid of its true meaning.

Secondly

, if we can espouse skills

such

as critical thinking with the

knowledge

, it can allow people to manoeuvre between different fields with the help of a

This

will not make for them the

of their relevant

arcane.

Knowledge

for the sake of employer would only make people glue to that specific

field

.

Lastly

, innovation and creativity can only come

anything not just knowing the practical application of it. So academic grooming driven by

workplace

requirements can inhibit the entrepreneurial capabilities of students. In conclusion,

although

professional studies must equip students with the necessary skills so that they can utilize those skills for the good of the community and

workplace

, but it can be best
