Some people think the university education is to prepare students for
employment. Others think it has other functions. Discuss and say what
other functions might be.
Some people think that the purpose of higher education is to prepare
educated people for employment. While we admit that preparation for
employment is an important function of education, it is not the only one. We
should see this issue with an all-sided view.
In the perspective of society, education is for improvement. Students make
use of what they have learned to create new theories and tools. This is the
way in which our human society develops. And also, through education,
government can teach people how to be appropriate citizens, thus in this
way, people's moralities and behaviors are constrained in a value system and
the social stability can be maintained.
In the perspective of individuals, education can enrich personal lives.
Through education, we can explore different cultures and customs. Thus, in
this way education can open our eyes and broaden our mind. And education
can also meet interests of each student.
While of course, all the functions mentioned above have one common
prerequisite: one can make a living in the first place. For this society is
practical, many university students have studied for four years, but their
ability to deal with practical things is too low to be acceptable. Therefore,
education should provide the basic general knowledge to university students
so that they can get employed and make a living. And if a nation wants to
develop and to compete with other nations, it needs skilled workers to
support economic development and to maintain the people creative, which
can only be achieved through education.
As a result, it has some sense to realize that students' preparation for
employment is the function of education, but it has far more functions which
should not be neglected.
