Some people think that universities should provide graduate with the knowledge and the skills needed in the workplace. Other 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.

should offer useful degrees to students. The essay below will discuss these views at length.

To begin

with, many graduates from

universities

are jobless despite the fact that they are educated.

This

is because the degree programs they were offered turned useless.

For example

, a 2019 study in Malawi by a well-known journalist Hopewell Chinono found that more than 89 per cent of people who graduated in 15 years were unemployed. Some of them were found on the streets and markets selling airtime and tomatoes. If colleges had useful

such

cases would be few.

Thus

, I support the idea that

universities

must provide critical skills education.

Furthermore

, some people think the main purpose of the university is to impart knowledge and nothing more. They

state that when someone is educated, she or he must desist from pride and take any job offered to them. After all,
