solve task two higher education new courses

1. Some universities keep on designing newer higher education programmes very frequently dismantling irrelevant old ones while some others go on sprucing up the existing ones to meet the changing demands. • Do you think it is fair to dismantle obsolete disciplines and go for newer ones? • What is it that makes some universities resort to sprucing up existing ones? All the universities need to design new courses according to the needs of the times. So, some resort to designing newer ones while some think it fair to refurbish the existing ones. I think making the old give way to new ones is fine, and there are reasons for some to engage in refurbishing existing courses. There are several justifications bidding adieu to old courses. The thing is they are no more relevant and maintaining them involves a lot of men, money and material. Second thing is that there are not many takers for such programmes, and those who come to absorb it may end up jobless. Thirdly, the money, manpower and infrastructure saved thereof may be channeled to fund the newer ones which in turn will benefit the school, the learners and the society at large. The old must give way. Coming to refurbishing the older courses, it may be said that some universities might find it cost-effective as it does not involve any revamping or reshuffle of the system. For example, the course content may go for a few changes and the people working in the system may not find it difficult adjust with it. The second reason may be that the already existing infrastructure could be carried forward for some more years. It saves a lot in terms resources and funds. And finally they cannot avoid the pressures of what we call, ‘change for better’. In short the need for newer courses is very high today, and it is important to ignore the old and invite the new ones. Refurbishing existing courses may be justified in many ways, but it does not augur well of a new generation higher education establishment. 280 words Ajaypeesdoc. 19.11.13
