答案
Universities play very important roles in the modern world. While many people argue university education should focus on giving graduates an edge in the job market, personally, I think it has a larger role to play for both individuals and society as a whole. The practical function of university education (that is, a way for students to find better jobs in the future) has been accorded increased importance by the general public because more and more people today pin their hopes on studying in universities to gain a better chance of employment, which is also the very goal that drives the majority of parents who support their children financially through university. Considering the fact that the tuition fees for higher education is far from a small sum of money to many families, and with the uncertainty of a competitive job market, paying more attention to the employment issue of universities’ graduates can be well justified. However, this does not mean the main function of university education is, or should be, career-oriented. Just as the most important function of education at any level is to develop the personality of an individual and the significance of one’s life to himself or herself and to others, universities grant students the chance to understand themselves and their society better. Therefore, what a university should mainly focus on is the development of students’ personality and morality, which would benefit its students over their whole lives; not only in terms of starting a career, but in terms of what lies behind a job—having a clear perspective of what is important in life, what roles they will play in the world, and of course how they will contribute to their communities. Obviously, this is also closely related to the development of a nation in the long term, for only with people trying to live their lives to the fullest can a country have a bright future. That is why many people, from Plato and Bacon to today’s educationalists, claim university education should give access to knowledge and truth for their own sake, as it is supposed to be enlightening and inspiring. Thus, I firmly believe the main purpose of pursuing university education is and always will be more than getting trained for a decent job. It is to benefit individuals and society in a much wider sphere than that of the workplace.
