Young people/students need to get a place to work and make a living and contribute to the transformation of society. Almost all professions today demand some level of college or university education and the type of education a student needs depends of the type of profession he/she needs to be in. However, education has more purposes than placing a student in to a job market. It is the power in which society creates knowledge and empowers itself in order to solve problems so that mankind lives better and longer.

Thank you @Dejenie A. Lakew for your answer.

An education that empowers him/her to be able to do what he/she would love to do. Anything less than this is failure.

University degree with promising future is what students are looking for and are ambitious to earn for a better life for their families.

The type of education the student wants today is after completing, immediate job with higher package and this should involve what he has studied. In order to get this, in under graduate level, the students should be trained technically, so that the students feel comfortable in securing good position.

The type of education student wants today is practical orientation of classes rather than complete theory. The students should feel comfortable and easily and readily absorbed in good job any where with good pay.

Type of education to provide confidence and skill to perform in life in the form of Monitory aspect,ethics, and enhancing performance with continued improvement in skill meeting day to day demands.

My dear, I believe that the education that the student wants is the kind of education that will help him ease his position in the labor market. He can win a job in prestigious institutions. This is for a group of students who see no impediment in a specific effort or class of students who do not prefer Any effort, they want formal education and signs reach them in their homes, either the job is either through loyalty or through bribery and nepotism.

Thank you @Toufik Zerrouki for your answer and @Ali Abbood Malik for following.

Based on my experience over the last 25 years as an educator, what a student wants in 2019 has shifted from what they desired even five years ago. Prior to five years ago, high school students desired to attend a "good" college and enter the labor market afterwards. Now, there are more high school students (comparatively speaking) desiring to work (post high school) for companies that will pay for their college education. This shift (more evident in the last five years) is based on the rising cost to attend college as well as companies shifting hiring strategies to employ high school graduates - making offers to pay for students' college classes. To remain viable, high schools are providing more progressive Career Tech Education courses in addition to traditional college prep classes.

There might be a HUGE gap between what the student wants, and what the parents/community/country is willing to pay for. Please come down to reality and not stay in the clouds.

I am always happy that our colleagues are coming up with their opinions and their views on type of education today. I also understand their suggestions to make us think in various directions. Thanks to all my colleagues who are participating on this question to come up with good outcome and expect more.

What type of education does the student wants today-education which give them immediate placement because unemployment is the problem becoming bigger and bigger day by day

Thank you @Mahavir Balmukund Varma for your answer.

It is not easy for governments to meet the obligations of "a right to education."

A right to education (how much? How may years? Primary only? Up to secondary? Does it include pre-school?)

A right to education at a school that is at a reasonable distance from my home?

A right to public transport so that I can attend the school.

Do I have the right to an education in my village? In the capital city? In Sweden? And if in Sweden, do I obtain the right as soon as I set foot in Germany? Do I have to become a citizen of Sweden first, or it does not matter?

My parents tell me that evolution theory is immoral. Do I have to study it? I should not study anything that goes against my religious beliefs.

Also, I would like to study with a diverse group of students, but they do not accept me. I do not want to study with females.

A right to qualified teachers of my ethnicity. Also, I prefer female teachers because I am not comfortable with male teachers.

Should the schools have equipment for science and chairs to sit?

Should the schools have toilets?

A right to good quality all-weather roads (in the rainy season, I cannot go to school?)

Does it include a right to food? If a student is hungry, she cannot study.

Does it include a right to the internet so that they can do the schoolwork? I forget to mention electricity because sometimes there is no power, and it is not easy to do the schoolwork by candlelight.

Does it include the right to a job? What is the point of having an education if I cannot find a job with it?

A good question and good suggestions pouring in, at the end of the day the retention of the student and the involvement of the student also place a very important part as the student are easily demoralized and tend to lose focus. It is a high time that some good measures be made in the educational curriculum in a global scale to voice these issues.

Good question

Dear Zainab Nizar Jawad,

Please try to give some answer to the question so that it might be useful for readers. Thank you for your interest.

Paul: Its difficult to put all young people into one group. However, one trend that I see in recent years is that more & more young people want lessons that apply directly to their life. They ask "Why is this lesson important to me?" and "Why do I need to know this lesson?"

E learning

Thank you Zainab Nizar Jawad for your answer.

They want ''useful'' or it's better to say applicable knowledge, skills, attitudes and values that will enhance their competences due to labour market demands (mostly in cognitive domain) and due to everyday life demands (mostly affective domain - social and emotional competences). That will refer to different types of learning: research-based learning, problem-based learning, e-learning etc.

Thank you Dijana Vučković for your answer.

Young students might need simplicity regardless of the subjects, but we educators look more than simplicity, which is purpose. It is purpose and reason that compell us to do something with passion, and we as educators should explicitly offer to our students, the scientific reasons why they are in our courses.

Thank you Dejenie A. Lakew for your answer.

Dear Pisipaty Srinivas Kishore , your questions are very interesting and important for educational sciences.

Thank you Dijana Vučković for your positive comment.

Hi!

I think it differs a lot depending on who the student is. Some examples:

A young person from an educated family that has moved from the parental home to a campus often just want to flow through an education programme like sitting on a bus. The main project is socializing with peers on clubs and bars and finding his/her identity and also, as a by-product, be able to get a job after exam. This kind of student does often not want challenges and demands in their studies, but also seldom questions old-fashioned lecture-based studies. The studies is a platform for becoming a person through, but mostly outside studies.

A non-traditional student at age 35, a second-chance student without education in the family, is often very concentrated on studies. She or he wants a better job with the studies but experiences disturbances by other obligations in life, as taking care of a family and fixing the economy for studies and family. This group want to feel that they learn useful skills in a rational and flexible way, and are no fans of a lecturers excursions and deviations into own research details if that is no part of the course. This student want a flexible education that is possible to go through for him or her, and worth the effort. A usually much more critical student, but responding well to learning challenges. He or she knows already that life is full of challenges, and that we learn a lot from those. He or she is also seldom chasing new partners or friends in the studies, a social network is already developed outside studies.

What type of education does the student wants today?

Think what students want may not be actually useful to them especially their wants pertaining to easy to pass, no exam but assignment-based assessment, shorter duration, earn better salary upon entering into workforce etc. Moreover, different students might have different wants on different courses etc. Think what students' wants can be part of the consideration (but the only one) in structuring the appropriate educational system.

The type of education which the student needs today is practical education rather than theoretical. The curriculum should be given more emphasis on industrial training, workshops and conferences to project their skills, more reading material from internet and creative project works.

Hi,

In today's competitive world, a student needs wholesome analytical thinking, organizational capabilities, application based-technical knowledge, decision making skills, and troubleshooting abilities. I modestly feel, this is how the education system should be designed.

Student wants today, the education to make life settle comfortably. For this, the needs of students should be catered. The students apart from education, should be given training, internships in organizations and thereby should be absorbed. Whatever, the students are studying they should be mould to become fruitful.
