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?

Nowadays, taking

further

education at

university

is very important for later in life.

That is

might be the reason why some people say that the main function of the

university

is to prepare the graduates to become more ready in the area they will work for, whilst others believe that

university

should only give the students much

knowledge

whether it is necessary for the future jobs or not.

Therefore

, in

this

essay, I would like to explain the reasons why I agree with the

first

notion as well as give a plausible conclusion regarding that matter.

To begin

with,

university

, especially for me, is a final platform for many young people to gain skills and

knowledge

that are useful for work.

Also

, it is very essential for the

university

to give us theoretical and practical practice in order to fulfil the future job, if it does not,

then

, what the purpose of entering the

university

? As we have known, after we graduate from the

university

, we hope we can have a job, so in my opinion, I think the

university

should provide many practices that are really suitable for the students to get those jobs.

For example

: many recent graduates may have rich theoretical

knowledge

, but lack practical skill,

then

, when they are at the workplace, they can not do anything. It is simply because they have too much insight, but do not know how to apply it. So, it is kinda useless and many employers do not want that thing happens.

Thus

,

instead

of having much insight in many areas, it is very recommended that fresh graduates have skills that help them to solve real-life problems rather than only give the ideas that are too general for the issues that they work for.

Secondly

, based on many cases around the world, giving the students extra

knowledge

means that they have to spend another extra time at school.

This

,

however

, may lead to stress and at the worst part, it can lead to many youths commit suicides. The reason behind

this

is that having a standard course has been already a burden for them, having other new courses may eradicate their relax time and they become more vulnerable to lose their rational thought.

Furthermore

, they think that the easy way to end

this

burden is to commit suicide.

This

trend has been occurred in Japan,

for instance

, in the previous decade, 25% of the death ratio was held by the teenager that got stress because the education system that was very hard and they could not bear anymore. In a nutshell, even though some might say that college should give much insight into many areas, but for me, the function of the

university

is allowing the pupils to have theoretical and practical skills that are needed for the jobs and

also

, to keep the education standard is reachable for many of them,

hence

, reducing the suicidal cases in many countries.
