答案             Can the Qualities Needed in Society Be Learnt in Universities?
    In recent years, with college graduates facing more and more difficulties in finding jobs, people begin to question whether the qualities that university students need to find jobs in the society, can be learnt in universities and other academic institutions after so many years of studying. As far as I am concerned, what students acquire in colleges and universities can’t very well match the requirements of this fast-developing and competitive world.
    Firstly, the subjects and courses in most colleges or universities are fixed. Year by year, the same course is taught by the same teacher with the same textbook which may have possibly been used for 15 or 20 years. The problem is that these schools never know, or even never bother to know what is really needed in the society. The knowledge and skills they provide are out of date and futile for the students to get employed. Therefore, colleges and universities should always pay attention to practical demands of the society, and arrange their courses accordingly and provide the students with what is currently needed.
    Moreover, the discrepancies between what the society needs and what the graduates have learnt can be shown, directly or indirectly, from one of the most common requirements, a certain period of working experience, listed by most employers and Human Resource managers of companies. The failure of the students in getting the desired jobs implies that what they have learned in school is always theoretical but not practical, and can’t be effectively applied to the real life. While acquiring various theories, students should also have more opportunities to apply the theories they learn in class to practice. Therefore, colleges and universities should create and provide such opportunities for their students to put the theoretical knowledge they have learnt in class into practice, which will, undoubtedly, make them more likely to succeed in getting employed after graduation. However, since the entrance examinations to colleges and universities have become easier and easier, and with more people graduating from universities and competing for the limited positions, it’s natural that finding a suitable job after graduation becomes more and more difficult.
    In conclusion, the qualities that are needed in today’s society cannot, at least for the time being, be learnt in universities or other academic institutions. While we should never underestimate the fundamental roles of universities and other academic institutions which have trained and educated millions of students for the society, we should also try to bridge the gap between what the students learn at school and what is really needed in the society.
