Many people hold the view that governments should invest more in skills and professional training for actual work rather than in university and college education. In my opinion, I support this school of thought and this essay will explain why.
On the one hand, it is quite evident that by giving job-specific training, young people will tend to obtain more jobs through these occupational related practices. For example, many students, who cannot afford to pay the university fees can have part-time training after completing their school, and prepare themselves for work. It not only gives them more working skills, but ensures economic stability in their lives. Moreover, some children due to lack of jobs move to foreign countries, which leads to brain drain in the countries.
On the other hand, due to the increasing fees for higher studies, students are fond of easy courses. These courses not only help them in securing a suitable job, but also give them financial stability. The longer they work, the more experience they achieve. For instance, the government has started a vocational training program in high schools and colleges, which promises a secured job for the students.
To conclude, it is clear that the benefits of work-related training programs outweigh the disadvantages, by providing more employment to the youth, however, merits associated with university education such as research work should not be ignored. Thus, the government should fund the short-term training on the one hand, but also promote higher education for the brighter future of the country.
