Education should strike on job-orientaion and liberal aspects

Education is a complex and multifaceted process that serves multiple purposes. While job orientation and liberal aspects are both important components of education, they serve different purposes and should not be seen as mutually exclusive.

On one hand, job orientation refers to the focus on providing students with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in the workforce. This includes practical training in fields such as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), as well as vocational training in trades such as plumbing, carpentry, or welding. Job orientation is important because it helps students acquire the skills they need to succeed in the job market, and to contribute to the economy in meaningful ways.

On the other hand, liberal education emphasizes the development of critical thinking, creativity, and intellectual curiosity. It involves exposure to a broad range of subjects, including the humanities, social sciences, and arts. Liberal education aims to help students develop a broad understanding of the world, and to cultivate the skills and habits of mind necessary to navigate an increasingly complex and interconnected world.

Both job orientation and liberal education are important, and ideally, education should strike a balance between the two. Students should be provided with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in the workforce, but they should also be encouraged to explore their interests and passions, and to develop a broad understanding of the world. Ultimately, a well-rounded education that integrates both job orientation and liberal education will help students become productive and engaged citizens, capable of making meaningful contributions to society.

Education has always been an essential aspect of human development. In recent times, there has been an ongoing debate on the purpose of education. Some believe that education should focus on job-orientation, while others argue that it should have a more liberal approach. However, in my opinion, education should strike a balance between both aspects.

On the one hand, education must prepare students for the workforce. In today's competitive job market, it is essential that students possess skills and knowledge that are relevant to their chosen career paths. Organizations must develop their workforce and equip them with a new age skills. These may be all technical skills.

On the other hand, education must also have a more liberal approach. It should focus on developing the whole person, including their social, emotional, and cultural development. Students should be encouraged to explore their interests and passions and to develop a broad range of knowledge and skills that will enable them to be well-rounded individuals. This includes exposure to the arts, humanities, and social sciences, which help to develop critical thinking and empathy.

For parents whose ward is studying in IGCSE and having Hindi as a second language, there may be some pain points. IGCSE is a rigorous academic program that demands a high level of proficiency in English, which may be a challenge for students who are not native English speakers. Additionally, Hindi, being a second language, may require extra effort and attention from students to excel. Parents may need to provide additional support to their children, such as tutoring, language classes, and study materials.

Education should strike a balance between job orientation and liberal aspects. For parents whose ward is studying in IGCSE and having Hindi as a second language, extra support and attention may be required to ensure that their children excel.

That is very true. In addition to the two points mentioned by the author (job orientation and liberal aspects), education should also strike on behavioural aspects of the person and should also teach the ways and means of living with values and virtues.
These days many of us feel that education is for obtaining a job to earn. Nobody can deny that aspect. In addition to that education should serve the other two purposes mentioned above namely liberal aspects as well as behavioural aspects also.
An educated person should make use of his knowledge for the all-round development of society in addition to his/ her self-growth. This concept should be put in the minds of all the students during their early years of education so that they will have a purposeful education.
Today a majority of our political leaders are educated only. But we see how they are conducting themselves and making money for themselves. By seeing them, we can understand what is not there in our education system and where it is to be strengthened.

Education system should be such that the aspirants is greatly benefited with the different streams included in the course curriculum but the different academics have their different opinions. Some opines that the basic education should consist of the local language of the area apart from Science, English and the Basic Mathematics so that the students need face any difficulties in their practical lives. Moreover these are the core subjects and with the strengthening these subjects, the students would pick up the elementary knowledge in these subjects such that they could sort out their issues with their own in course of teaching their kids or they can work out different issues as a result of acquaintance of basic knowledge.
The other scholars are of the opinion that some of subjects like carpentry, welding, foundry, drawing, plumbing could be helpful for gaining employment in the present market conditions with the inclusion of such subjects.
Both the academics are correct in their perceptions and it calls for serious review of the syllabus to make the same job oriented.

Academic education might have its merit but real education is supposed to inculcate skills and job orientation in an individual. Now the job market is a difficult place and until the candidates develop their skills and acquire specific capabilities they would not be able to make a satisfying career.

Knowledge is power.

I am just deviate from this point of view.
Simply speaking in general, the teaching of multiplication tables are being taught as '1 x 2=2". Later if one tells as, "2 x 1=2", the student will understand that both are same.
As the education should be in the general way so as to suit to any establishment or job. The application of any topic will differ from organization to organization, job to job and person to person. So catering the education on the job orientation is not possible and even if it made so will lead to chaos in the minds of persons coming out of education and entering into job. If the education is in general the persons coming out of the academic to job will find the difference and apply well.
