What is the main objective of the university education to train specialists or to train specialized people in a certain field?
Today, institutions of higher education are training centres for professional specializations and degree distribution centres, i.e. graduate labor makers.
This educational type of the production assembly line and planned curriculum economy is now being challenged by the exponential knowledge automation of most professional fields.
Institutions of higher education offers variety of specialized training courses. The aim here is to provide learners with advanced knowledge, regardless of their background.
These trained people can train or find a solution to solve the problem.

Training specialists are producing experts in their own fields who can help solve localized and global problems.
The primary goal of university education is to provide broad based and generalized skills to students including the ability to think, analyze and problem solve. The second objective is to provide concentrated coursework on a topic (example physics or economics) so that the student has a firm foundation of principles in the field. A third objective pertaining to those who want to proceed further is to focus the student'e efforts to become specialized in a certain field or sub-field via participation in perhaps a graduate level program. Thus they can become specialist serving in the research/teaching field or the industry.
Undoubtedly, both are required.However, the role of university today is not only to develop students’ knowledge expertise but also to increased their readiness for the labor market.
The main objective of university education is to train specialists or to train specialists in a specific field to obtain educators who have the ability to transfer information to others and develop the field of specialization for the benefit of the community.
