Homework again and again There is a heated debate about the main function of a university. Whether a university should provide the knowledge and skills about work, or just give access to knowledge. Some people believe that universities should provide graduates with the knowledge and skills needed in the workplace. As a result, those graduates could fit in their works quicker and easier. In addition, employers should not spend much time and money on training graduates without work experience, and employers can save more resources than ever before. The another main argument put forward for the main function of a university is that the true function of universities should be to give access to knowledge for its own sake, regardless of whether the course is useful to an employer. Although knowledge and skills about work are important, personal integrated ability and morality seem to be much more important. I strongly agree with the statement that the true function of a university is to give access to knowledge for its own sake. Despite training in universities may save more resources for employers, most of employers may pay more attention on graduates’ abilities and morality in fact. For example, work skills and knowledge may help a man to adapt to his job quickly, but they could never help a man to solve sudden problems well. Secondly, it is said that interest is the best teacher and people can accept all kinds of knowledge in universities. Consequently some talented people may stand out in different areas rather than living a mediocre life without living for a true purpose. In addition, people can improve their skills needed in work in vocational schools. To sum up, I think that providing different knowledge and the truth in life is every universities’ main function.
