Rising university fees and scarce employment prospects for graduates have led some people to say that universities should not teach arts subjects, like philosophy and history, and only offer practical degree courses that maximise chances of employment. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

As the prices for university fees grew and the

subjects
, such
as art history for example
, should be excluded from universities in order to study more practical subjects
and get skills which will increase the chances of getting a well-paid job
. Although
I believe that we still need to provide an opportunity for studying social and historical studies, I totally agree that the number of practical courses
should be increased.
Specialized education in fields like IT should focus on practical subjects
rather than offering unrelated courses
, such
as philosophy or history, to maximize career prospects. Providing a curriculum rich in relevant IT courses
enhances the likelihood of securing suitable employment for students pursuing practical specializations. My own experience during my bachelor's degree involved numerous theoretical subjects
that, although
broadening my knowledge, proved unapplicable

Consequently

to acquire the skills necessary for my initial job
.
Moreover
, the educational system is built in such
a way that it often contains base theoretical subjects
during the first two years of a bachelor's degree and practical courses
start only during the third year. Because of such
a system, students are unable to find an internship related to their study field during the first part of their degree. However
, when they try to find a job
after finishing university, most employees ask them to have at least some experience.
To sum up
, I side with the statement that more practical courses
should be provided at universities instead
of theoretical ones. It would help students avoid such
problems as being unable to find a job
or an internship, lack of knowledge and also
losing motivation while
studying something that they will never apply during their career.Submitted by nzgvrv on
