Formal education. Overrated?

Hey there! Education is such a multifaceted journey, isn't it? I've been thinking about it a lot lately, especially with the option of boarding school coming up.

I think formal education is overrated in my country. It depends on how one person views it. Some would rather choose rather what they have considered more important than formal education You will see a graduate after spending so many years in the university, still roaming the streets for lack of job Education is commonly viewed as overrated especially when you came from third-world countries, poor families, and rural areas. Although there exists some communities

I think In my own country it is the whole system that is messed up and thats why the educated ones are looking like the ones who have waisted their whole fixed years in the higher institution. They are some people who will go and read all the courses and even get a very good results at that but when you come out to the labour market to actually secure a Job, the system fucks you up and corner you or position you like someone who doesn't know what he is doing.

Yes I agree with you on this one, some countries due to the rate of high level of corruption and and bad government which has result to poor economic system, and lack of job opportunities for the citizens, many people just look at formal education as a waste of time and resources.
I had a friend who was telling me that he wanted to leave the country for business and he was still in school then, I thought it was after he rand up his education before he would travel out m, but he told me that he would leave everything and travel out to look for the money first before he can continue his education, and he gave me reasons to believe that he was right.
Doe formal education is not bad, but in a country that has poor economic system and bad government, where many graduates are out doing manual labours to make earns, I think making money first is not a bad idea, but you have to acquire your degree as well.

We are leaving in digital era. Now a days in our country being digital and our Educational system also being digital. After pandemic we saw and we introduced about online class. We saw primary School to University everywhere online class system. Every Student buy or manage smartphone and buying internet package for online Education.

I think it has some positive side. From very earlier a students being familiar with online and digital world. And they are introducing with different people from different countrys. And they knowing  about different culture. So i think our education system being Smart day by day.

Former education in the past wasn't overrated because for someone to get a high paying job, the person must have a certain decree in formal education but in recent years a lot of skills that doesn't require much of formal education to get them are more financially beneficial than most of the jobs that formerly educated people can boast of and that's what significantly reduced the importance of formal education.
Despite the recent developments, some people still have the thought that to get formally educated is the best way to progress in their different life endeavors but will still have to run back to those who aren't highly educated for acquisition of skills and that's why people of today now think that formal education is overrated
