Essay topic: Some people think that universities should provide graduates with the knowledge and skills needed in the workplace. Others 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.
What, in your opinion, should be the main function of a university?
*************************************************
University education plays an instrumental role in grooming up the future candidates. However, universities should provide the students with the appropriate skills and knowledge which would help them in their future.
Nowadays, one of the biggest challenges which students face is lack of the hands on experience. They should be presented with the real time facts to understand a specific problem and encourage them in doing innovative things. For instance, a computer course student should be taught or curriculum should be designed in such a way that it provides in depth analysis of the various technologies. It will not only improvise the student’s interest and skills but also provide them a platform to explore the things around. Universities should provide a well-equipped infrastructure like smart classrooms, library or online-reference material and should update their curriculum on a regular basis to ensure that a student reads through the latest.
I believe the university should use more of the practical teaching methodology and get away from the conventional mode of teaching. Universities should focus more on building up the concepts so that they can grasp the rest of the things quickly while on-board. More group assignment should be given to the students which will help them to be a team-player. For instance, universities should encourage students to have a summer internship program at various companies. Universities should conduct various code fest events which will help them to showcase their talents.
To conclude, universities should provide a platform for the students and acclimatize them to the corporate style of working beforehand and groom the talent as a future leader which would help them in excel in their careers.
