ACCUSING, DENYING, APOLOGIZING

Most students now look upon higher education principally as training for a particular kind of job, and it is the hope of well- paid, interesting work, together with a superior social status. Governments also tend to see higher education as a course of training for future workers. This is particularly true of developing countries, where there is  an urgent need for specialists of all kinds and governments expect a direct return  for the money  they have invested in education. The goal of higher education has become the acquisition of a highly specialized expertise which  can be put  to practical use in  a career.

A university course, in whatever subject, is seen as a basic requirement for many professions. Some institutions prepare students from the start for one specific type of example, teacher training –colleges or shools of medicine or agriculture.At the same time the traditional seclusion of the scholarly community has been disrupted.

Nevertheless, many peple think that in focusing upon expertise rather than upon wisdom, modern education is missing out what is of most value. It is still vital that from higher education students should above all acquire wisdom that is sense of responsibility for the application of their knowledge, an understanding of how their work is related to other areas of life, and a sense of values in their own lives.
