All this slogan that has been roaming around my the youths that "School na scam" which has become widespread today by we the youths, and most of these youths only try to use this as a justification role by saying that there is the majority of the rich people out there today who are not yet graduate that earn income than those who are graduates barely afford to feed and take good care of themselves.
Though I'm not yet a graduate I'm anticipating being a graduate one day and I know my dream will surely come through.
Let me start with first, the meaning of education
According to the Oxford dictionary, education is the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction, especially at a school or university.
For I think education is said to be an art of transferring (teaching and learning) knowledge from one person to another. Believe it or not, I know that education has brought out an imminent and permanent change in everyone's life and it also impacted their talent and skills.
The major problem that we have today is that many people look at other people's lives and give a bad conclusion, but the trust is that majority of people today have a superficial concept concerning education and they also equate that to only studying a particular course or obtaining of bachelor degree of there choice. it doesn't guarantee only those who have a university degree in computer science to be given the opportunity to work in big companies, but there are most people out there who don't have any university certificate, and they are working in most of the biggest companies as a computer scientist or as an engineer and there are coming up with good and excellent system codes that help the company.
Accentuation is been placed on skills in addition to educational qualifications in today's world and I think there is a need for one to build up his/her skills while getting university degrees. it doesn't only mean that when reading books, writing exams, and getting good grades at the same time doesn't mean that you've been educated, most especially when you did not amalgamate what you've read and learned into your memory and life for personal development.
Albert Einstein once said that what only remains after one has forgotten what he/she has learned in school is "Education". But real education is what is been implanted into one's brain and anyone who understands the true learning knows that it only comes from replicating acknowledgment and the use of information and skills.
The only positive effects of education in our country today, cannot be exaggerated as the societies that have the higher levels of education turn around to have the higher rates of economic stability and lower crime rates.
In the process where other people keep on shouting that education is a scam, I'll say no because education is life and that is why every parent is trying to invest more in his/her children to ensure that they attain true and quality education.
In conclusion, I think without education, we wouldn't have been able to refine our skills and talent, we wouldn't have been better in what we do and we can never attain an enormous state of personal development, so in this case, how is school or education a scam?
Happy Weekend to you all
