Amid the rising costs of higher education, an increasingly heated debate has emerged: is the core mission of universities to equip students with practical employment skills that serve the economy, or should they focus on cultivating well-rounded individuals with critical thinking and broad cultural literacy? As more graduates face employment pressure, should university curricula significantly reduce humanities disciplines in favor of technical training and career-oriented subjects? Please articulate your position on this issue, supporting your argument with specific reasons and examples.
