Is the mission to assure continuity of human achievement, or teaching young people a trade to make a living, or teaching young people to be individual and impendent thinkers? Am I right to think that universities’ mission are nurturing creativity, individuality and independent thinking; as a consequence they must prepare young people to realise their potential.
In a changing world of globalization, with internet access, shifting workforces and expanding technology, how do we best prepare young people for the future? Complexity of challenges requiring expertise are rapidly expanding, but, the time available to educate is not. I believe universities are not a delivery system to fill a bucket with information, which can get stale before students start their professional life.
Dear Ivo,
I like your answer, specially your mention of cashing in by some universities. Some universities in the western world manged to become famous and some of them are selling their image to the other parts of the world, but not the content which made them to be noticed. One wonders if the real mission of these universities are to make money or to spread scholarship. I am sure some would argue there is not conflict between two.
Thanks and regards

University is a temple of knowledge where systematic approach ,discipline ,system ,methods remain the basic need of the students who are to be future citizen of the entire world as with the technological & scientific development the world has become a smaller place even for our mobility .
Of course it may not be practicable in the present scientific age but it is my feeling that student starting their first period of study ,it will work under the congenial environment if the students starts initial few minutes silent time for prayer .Prayer for any religion is a healthy practice for every human beings as it may help to nourish the healthy environment for the progressive development of the life.
Student are in their young age they grasp the situation very conveniently & obediently to accept the views & required methods .
Universities mission does not end with imparting teaching & also experimenting the outcome of research process in the laboratory to the students .University should prepare the ground floor for students to prepare for the healthy life ,creating a healthy mind .
For this university camp must have ground for students to play for the sport both indoor & outdoor games .Besides regular system of debating performance to arrange in the university covering various faculty & in order to establish an unification just as human relation program university join hands with the different universities in the areas & for their relation they should also arrange a debating favor with the student of different universities .
This practice is needed for the young student entering in the university .
Another program just as of BRAIN TRUST also should arrange under the different faculties of the university which may help students to prepare for the program .
With this it is the university with their learning process for the student may help them to carry out the mission so that the out entry of world citizen from university not only made play the fruitful part for their career development but also their contribution may turn out to be fruitful for the family ,for the society & in their working environment .
This is my personal opinion
