Some people think universities should provide knowledge and skills related to a future career; others think the true function of a university is to give access to knowledge for its own sake. What is your opinion of the main function of university?

Nowadays, an increasing number of people are concerned about the aims of educational institutions. These purposes should be providing practical and professional

skills

or theoretical knowledge is a controversial issue. I agree with the view that students need to be equipped with job-related

skills

for the following reasons.

First,

practising job-related

skills

at

universities

can help students keep pace with occupations more quickly.

This

is because they have already known and performed the basic steps of a certain job, and the only thing that they have to do is apply flexibly to their current professionals. So, the repetitions of professional

skills

not only motivate productivity but

also

curtail training time.

Moreover

, having qualified students through a thorough training curriculum may bring considerable reputations to

universities

themselves.

For example

, Harvard, one of the most popular

universities

in the world, harnesses case studies as a primary pedagogical method which allows learners to obtain knowledge and

skills

from practical situations. Thanks to

this

educational measure, Harvard has trained many billionaires, politicians and successful people in varied fields. It makes contributions to social progress and

also

to assert Harvard's position in the education industry.

That is

not to say that

universities

should not pay any attention to pure scientific research. There are, of course, some domains
