IELTS GT Task 2 Essay: Discussion — Education
Original practice prompt written in exam style — not a real exam question, and not a prediction.
Some people believe that university education should be mainly academic. Others say it should prepare students directly for jobs. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Examiner focus: Knowledge half-life: job-specific skills date fastest; the verdict can split by faculty if argued cleanly.
