During recent decades, the college students find it increasingly difficult to hunt a right job after graduation. To illustate, according a survey led by John, it is reported that there was only 3% of total number of graduates who could find job after saying good-bye to their universities in 2007. in this case, in order to avoid making the matter worse, a growing number of folks harbor an idea that college teachers should lay more emphasis on teaching practical courses like computer science and business instead of such traditional ones as history and geography. From my own perspective, I totally support this statement.
There are at least two reasons accounting for this preference. The first and most important one is that with higher and higher demands on employees’ skills from employers, teaching practical courses in colleges will certainly make it much easier for students, the ones with severe lackage of experience, to find a proper job after leaving school, thus providing a perfect approach to address the social problems brought by high rates of unemployment. For instance, in Nanchang University, the students, who devote their leisure time to take some courses, such computer science, accounting and so on, have already caught outstanding positions in companies with good reputation. In addition, the students, with practical knowledges in their mind over some theoriotical ones, can easily apply for the scholarship offered by some foreign universities. As a matter of fact, those overseas famous colleges, such as Oxford Univeristy, Cambriadge University and so forth, focus on introduing those students with the real ability to solve some concrete problems.
In conclusion, the college teachers, for the sake of students’ better future career development, should shoulder more responsibilities to pass down more practical knowledges to their students instead of teaching some traditional courses.
