Too much emphasis is placed on going to university for further studies. People should be encouraged to go for vocational training, because there is a lack of qualified people for posts such as electricians, plumbers etc. To what extent do you agree or disagree?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"vocational\"<\/p>\n

It goes without saying that society always needs a skilled work force to function. Employees of different professions contribute differently to the thriving of the community, and therefore I disagree with the statement that vocational courses should be given any more weight than before.<\/ins><\/p>\n

The fact that many people deem it more important to take tertiary education than a vocational training program has resulted in a shortage of qualified workers. It is universally accepted that knowledge and qualifications gained from the university<\/a> can help one to have a head start over other candidates when it comes to job hunting. In Vietnam, for instance, a majority of high school graduates are content to spend four to five years more studying at a university with the hope for a bright career ahead. This results in a lack of skilled manual workers such as plumbers and electricians in society.<\/p>\n

However, if we encourage more people to become blue-collar workers, then there will be a shortage of white-collar workers who may otherwise create more wealth for society. For example, fewer engineers would mean lower productivity; a dearth of scientists may inhibit scientific discoveries which can provide us with a better life in the future. In contrast, those doing blue-collar jobs may face redundancy when too many applicants competing for the same position. An unbalanced workforce might, therefore, hold society back from development in the long term.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, the work force will adjust itself to cater for the need of the community, so there is no need to direct young people to follow a particular career path.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
