Nations should spend more money on skills and vocational training for practical work, rather than on university education. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Due to ongoing changes and shortages in the labour market, some contend that the vast majority of funding for tertiary
education
should be put into practical courses rather than academic ones. Despite strong arguments to support Use synonyms
this
, I can only agree with Linking Words
this
to some extent.
The push on a global scale to get more graduates with Linking Words
university
degrees has led to a lack of manual workers Use synonyms
such
as plumbers and electricians and an excess of white-collar workers. Linking Words
As a result
of Linking Words

, skilled tradespeople can earn much higher wages than in the past whereas Linking Words
university
graduates are leaving Use synonyms
university
with huge debts from student loans. Recently, it was reported that 1000 people applied for one job in a restaurant and many of the applicants were graduates. Having a degree, Use synonyms

Nevertheless
, for some fields Linking Words
such
as medicine or Linking Words
education
, an academic Use synonyms
university
Use synonyms
education
is a prerequisite. Worryingly, the number of doctors in undergraduate training is dropping at an alarming rate and Use synonyms

to try to encourage more school leavers to take Use synonyms

In conclusion, Linking Words
although
funding for vocational training is a must, Linking Words

should not be at the expense of academic Linking Words
education
. Despite the threat of a worldwide economic recession, funding in all aspects of Use synonyms
education
needs to be a priority and it should be allocated to vocational and academic courses on an equal basis.Use synonyms
