　　Some people think that university should not provide theoretical knowledge, but to give practical training that is beneficial to society.

　　Do you agree or disagree?

　　The current hot issues concerning higher education include the one of whether university should provide theoretical knowledge or practical training. In my opinion, this issue is closely related to the different aims of different universities and the needs of the economic development of the respective country.

　　As we know, university education gives a student a better appreciation of such fields as art, literature, history, science, and human relations.

　　Therefore, it is necessary for the university to provide theoretical knowledge for those students who intend to receive liberal education.

　　Most universities also have professional colleges that prepare students for careers, such as teachers colleges, agricultural or dental colleges.

　　These colleges, apart from offering some liberal arts courses, usually allocate a certain period of time for professional training. For example, a student at teachers college usually takes a field training at a high school as a student teacher for two or three months.

　　Another important factor on this issue is the needs of the economic development of a respective county. For instance, in China, a great number of advanced professional personnel are needed to keep the pace with the rapid economic development. Therefore, cooperative education that combines classroom studies with practical work experience is more appropriate an education China needs at the present time.
