Some people that the universities should provide graduates knowledge and skills needed in the workplace. Others, think that the true function of universities should give access to knowledge to its own shake, regardless of whether the course is useful to an employer. What, in your opinion, should be the main function of a university?
The primary purpose of tertiary education is to prepare graduates for their future career. While thousands of people would enrol for the sake of acquiring general knowledge and skills which will make them competitive in the job market, there is a portion of them who would expect to obtain the specific qualifications only for their dream job. Therefore, I strongly believe that university should organise their courses’ programs in order to provide future employees with all the skill sharpening professional training for their specific occupation.

In many cities, there are areas of land that are used as parks. With increasing population levels, these areas would be better used to provide more housing. Do you agree or disagree?
In many towns, there are a lot of green spaces that are used as parks. Some believe that, as the population increases, these areas should be repurposed for housing. I totally disagree with this point, as parks provide places for citizens to gather and socialize, and they are also a vital source of oxygen in large cities.
