FUNCTIONING OF THE UNIVERSITIES:
Many students are not satisfied with the results of the study in the universities because the faculty focus and concentrate on the basic academic topics but not on practical skills, which is necessary after the completion of graduation. Nowadays, some people believe that the primary mission of universities, for students, is to teach knowledge and skills which are related to their future careers. In contrast, other people may argue that college and universities should focus on academic material without thinking whether it is useful for the workforce or not. Students, after being employed the company, they have to work in their special field for about one to two years. So they must acquire not only theoretical knowledge but also practical knowledge and skills before graduating from the university. Hence, the main function of the university and college is to either deliver only academics or to prepare the students for future employment had become an argument for many parties like government, college management, employer as well as other scholar.
Universities, indeed, teach students a lot of useful information regarding academic subjects but no one can deny that this knowledge is not valuable for their future working purpose. Initially the purpose of the student to get into the university is to acquire sufficient knowledge to find a better job in the future. However, if the universities only deliver academic knowledge such as theory to the student without any practical knowledge, this is not sufficient for the student to grant a better job opportunity in the future. It is necessary for the university and college to provide practical related knowledge to the student. While at the same time the importance of soft skills should not be neglected as well such as communication
