Although such topics, in all likelihood, never will yield a consensual agreement, a constructive dialogue on the different opinions of university education, either brings benefits to society or leads to graduate unemployment can lead to thought-provoking discussions. My view is that irrespective of the numerous disputes on either side, university education has more positive impacts on society than negative ones.
On the one hand, there are some people who shed light on the fact that university education will lead to graduate unemployment. They may argue that, the university’s syllabus is more theoretical than practical, For instance, the outdated way of education will not match the market needs.
However, in spite of these arguments, I believe that university education results in various favorable consequences. Firstly, it gives the student the opportunity to choose the best career for them. Secondly, it increases the level of maturity between students. Lastly, in a nutshell, it elevates the knowledge of different sciences.
I see that there is an evidence to fortify the contention I have provided. Thus, I am inclined to come to the conclusion that university education brings more benefits to society in different ways even maturity, independence for choosing the career and knowledge than negative ones.
