Question

write a essay on Higher education versus skills acquisition .250 words​

Answer 1

Answer:

Education for the sake of attaining a degree is not desirable considering the increase in educated unemployment in the country which calls for a greater reflection at what guides the aims and objectives of education at individual and national level. Attaining a degree is surely a sign of formal education but merely attaining a degree no more guarantees individual growth, social stability or financial security.

While the need for skill inculcation has always found space in various educational policy documents churned out in the country since independence, current discourses in the arena of both school education and higher education has increasingly emphasised on outcome based learning leading to skill development.

There is no doubt that skill education has acquired a greater importance in the current socio-economic context of the country. As per a report published by Ernst and Young, by 2026 demographically, India would be at an advantageous position with approximately 64 per cent of our population laying in the age bracket of 15-59 years, with only 13 per cent of population aged about 60. Skilled education therefore is imperative for us to be able to reap the demographic dividend which a young population would offer. If education does not respond to the need of skilled manpower in a growing economy like ours, then it would fail its youth in attaining both basic and higher aspirations of life.
