Universities can’t fulfil the myth, but they can’t become a vocational school either
Universities come with a mythical mission. But they don't fulfil it.
Hasnain says:
"I don't believe that we can actually do much about this. There are always those who go on to higher education seeking what is actually a vocational education: be it science, engineering, or math students, they are simply seeking a means to a job. Nevertheless, universities remain one of the only places where young people will encounter new ideas. This creates a tension: should we give in to the pressure, and become vocational training centers? After all that is what the majority of students, parents, employers, and politicians want."
