Some people think that universities should provide graduates with the knowledge and skills needed in the workplace. Others think that the true function of 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 university?

It is still a subject of debate in society whether

This

essay will take a side in the freedom of learning alongside my opinions and related illustrations.

To begin

on boring subjects to gain professional skills will never gain knowledge efficiently.

This

issue is because they are not happy with what they experience during their journey which leads to unsatisfied outcomes even if the subjects are actually crucial and needed in certain workplaces.

For instance

, as Indonesia has already applied the freedom of learning in its education system since 2020, there has been a significant upward trend where most of the learners enjoy their fields of study and mostly feel that they in fact gain valuable and memorable knowledge. More than that, several learners will get affected by their mental states like burned out if they get pushed on things that are not interesting.

Furthermore

, several learners choose to attend

universities

not for specific work preparation,

instead

, they purely just want to have an understanding of certain areas of subjects.

This

phenomenon happens in many individuals who only want to develop their personal growth and have more degrees. To illustrate, many institutes in New Zealand have versatile courses which talk about certain regions' famous animals that can be attended by

even if most of their majors or careers are not related to biological stuff.

This

issue shows that many of them are full of curiosity and in fact,

universities

should facilitate their needs.

To sum up

, I strongly believe that the main function of

universities

is to facilitate

in the form of education methods that let them explore things for their own knowledge even
