s_kaks Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 The issue is whether primary and secondary education should focus on training students for the highly specialized jobs of the future or provide them with a broad range of non-specific skills and information. The advantages of traning students on a broad range of non specific skills and information outweigh the advantages of the training students for highly specialized jobs. First of the advantages is that, a student, who is provided a broad range of non-specific skills and information has, the non specific skills allow the student to grow intellectually. The student will tend to think multi-dimensionally on a variety of subjects. Second of the advantages is that, the students with a broad range of skills, will be free to pursue a career of their interest based on skills and information they have gained over the period of their education. Additionally,in the modern work envirnoment, a corporation will seek a person who will be able to perform a multitude of tasks rather that one specialized job. The people who are one-dimensional will be a great disadvantage. One small advantage that a student with specialised training is that, he will be able to perform that specialised job better than others initially and will carry a lot f confidence to do that particular specialised job. Considering the advantages that broad range of non-specific skills and information provides to a student over the highly specialized skill, it can safely be concluded that it is better to train a student on a broad range of non-specific skills and information.

bhar_rohit Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 The Issue is too short ... should be around (400 words). Provide some examples to support your stand. The Examples can be hypothetical or universal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
