Benefits of education in our country

[DragonF]

Yes what you said is true majority fails to understand the meaning of education and as such its primary purpose. They are just focus on you must get a white collar job after being educated. An educated person is someone who is refined to be able to get or actualize his purpose without medling with the right of others and without breaking the laws of the country. Education is the best thing that can happen to any person, a person without education will find it difficult to survive in the society. Mind u education is only the one we got from school. We have formal and informal education

That is what we were all brainwashed into believing. What do you expect from children when they are told that education is the key to success? Certainly, they will grow up believing that once educated, they have already achieved success in life. This is analogous to telling a gold miner that if he digs, he will find gold, only to discover that there is none. The miner will be disappointed.

This is how it feels when you finish school and are told you can not get a job with your certificate. However, this can be corrected at home and in schools; children should not be given the impression that in order to thrive, they must be educated. If this can be corrected from the start, we will not have people hoping to find work after school, which will significantly reduce the number of people enrolling in school.

Yes I know that education plays a vital role in our living and in our day to day activities but I would really want you honest opinion as a citizen of our country nigeria is education really worth it I mean these days we have graduate selling in the market it's absurd. The other day I entered a bus and the conductor confessed that he was a graduate of the great university of Benin and that he studied biochemistry I was really heartbroken not only because he was a graduate but because that particular department is actually very difficult
What do you think?

Seriously speaking education in this country is not really worth the hype, coz come on the present day educational system heavily rely on outdated curriculum in teaching their students imagine a university student learning or being taught things that are meant to be taught in the primary school. How can the students ever be current. Come to think of it Nigerians totally please less value on informal education is is far more better than the present day educational system. Did you know that basically most of what is been taught at the university even with the hike in school fees I can easily be learnt online, there are numerous platforms like YouTube, etc where one can learn most o what is taught in the Nigeria University, seriously speaking if being a graduate isn't a requirement for most of the high paid job out there most people win Nigeria wouldn't even give it a thought about going to a Nigerian university.

There is need to review our educational system. Our educational system must be set up so that students will have a skill before they graduate. Combining education with skill development is necessary, particularly for non-professional courses, so that a student can begin earning money both during and after school after graduation. This will reduce the number of graduates who actively look for work.

What I understand the point that you are trying to prove. What you mean is that the population of the graduates is more higher than the work/job that is available, that is why people find it difficult to secure a better job, well you are actually right from your perspective, but as for me I don't think that is the case, government is not just ready to shine their eyes, they know that the citizens such as youths, poors and graduate are facing a tough situation in the economy.

so it is the responsibility of government to create more job opportunities as they know that the number of literate individuals is increasing day by day, because I'm very much sure that the government is aware of that, as evidence by the conduct of regular population censuses.if the government are not aware of the trend, then what is the essence of conducting these population census.

I agree with the part that you said our educational system needs to be review honestly, because a lot of people are losing interest in education, making them to think that education doesn't worth it, because of the disappointment that a lot of literate individuals faces after graduating from colleges or universities.

For a country to be developed economically, socially and in all round aspect education is a must, you need trained individuals to run a country and you can only get that through education. The problem with Nigeria is that the government do no longer regard education the same thing with us as citizens. Back in the days people that graduated with first class no dey find work na when they graduate job dey wait for them but now graduate with first class make you no go hussle for work that person go cry. Critical government positions that is supposed to be filled with well learned and brilliant individuals are being filled throughout connection, tribalism instead of using individual that are capable for the position na those wey get connections come they get the job this those not occur in the government sector but also In the private sector.

Education is important for all human beings both the young and the old . However from my own opinion, I don't think the education being given out in this country is  really worth it, I had a conversation with a  fresh university graduate sometime ago and he told me things that really shocked me, he said that the knowledge he has today wasn't gotten from depending on the lecturer, he got his knowledge from consulting YouTube and other social media platforms where he listen to foreign lectures who dissected series of topic which most of his lecturers couldn't do, he told me that most of what he was taught where topics he did in his secondary schools, he told me how outdated  most of his course outline was, infact his conclusion was that education  in this country was a total waste of time and resources.
Receiving Education from other countries is much more better than the education in this country, you can never compare a forwign trained doctor, with most of the so called professionl doctors in this country. The educational sector should really work on improving the school educational curriculum fin order to receive better and newer knowledge

The issue with our education is the mode of recruitment. People who have no business teaching are hired to teach simply because they have a connection, which is one of the reasons our educational system is in disarray. Consider hiring someone without knowledge to impart knowledge; what do you think the person will teach? Nothing.

Such people read materials to students without explanations, and in the end, students are forced to memorize lecture notes without proper understanding, leaving them with no knowledge of the course, and this gap created by a mediocre teacher continues to affect them after school.

This is the reason why we say that until corruption is delt with in Nigeria we can't experience any meaningful progress and development because corruption has eaten deep down into our system that and we can't develop in a state that is charactarized by corruption because when it comes to the issue of job recruitment due process is not always followed but employment is done by who you know so the teachers who is not qualified to teach is the one that chosen we must as a matter of urgency tackle corruption if we are to make progress

I also sometimes ask myself, how a system can work properly, when even the most basic value of honesty is unimportant. Whenever every choice is made irrespective of performance but owing to proximity, it is only reasonable that the outcomes will be poor as well. I believe, change is possible, but it takes courage for many people to say "enough" to ingrained habits. As you may see, it is not necessary to have immense power to begin with; sometimes it can be just in refusing bribes or being lenient to people who want to bend the rules. If more and more people will take the straight path, gradually the system feels compelled to change the situation. It's not easy, but it's not impossible either.

Yes, when you said benefit of education in our country, i would say it is bad and those not have any good benefit impact on the life's of the citizen's and also is not something to pursue about, especially on this bad regime we are in now when people are suffering from poverty and hunger. The only benefit education will give the people now is that it will train them not to live there life's as an illiterate individuals but rather it will show them the way and give them a second thoughts to know what is right of them to do and not depending on there education thinking it will be the reason for them to secure a job in a company or institution NO. And if in anyway they secure a job, i will rather say it was gotten by the way of opportunity for them, and not by there hard work, because there are so many individuals who are illiterate enough and not to be even a job or work in some company talk-less of occupying a position that will be ahead of you that as gone to school and acquire some certificate, that suppose to have given you more opportunity and position more than them what would you say about such individual that obtains certificate by name, by power, and not by there hard work. The best thing now when you have money that would be used to go and study, may be additional qualification it's better to just  used it and have some little idea on were to invest it and begin a simple business with it. it is better than wasting it in education.

I agree with you because if an insect is always eating crops on the farm there will not be much growth on the farm except those insects are tackled first and to tackle it is not by going out to look for it but is about handling it on the farm, so that's how they need to tackle the corruption we have on this country because corruption is like an insect that's eating up everywhere and as they're being allowed that's how it is spreading and expecting growth in the country with all this insect on it is very difficult because even the ones someone labour corrupt people are there to disrupt.

Do not forget that before the insect invaded the farm, the crop existed, and the farmers were the ones who planted the crops that attracted the insect to invade the farm, the crop is ever enticing to attract the insect and there is nothing the farmer can do about it but rather to put up preventive measures which would resist the insect from further attacking the crop. At first, there should be a review on the country's constitution because that is where the problem lies, and when that is done, the next step is to make sure the bad eggs in government are flushed out through voting them out of power and the bad heads in government retired from office. This can only be achieved when the electorates are united in taking the course of voting them out of power. Then we can say that we're heading somewhere otherwise, the country will still be the same way it is.

Now the farmers who knows what to do to stop the pest 🪳🦟 allowed them to eat the crops deeply and now to stop them became a problem business buyers of the crops from another country will not allow the farmers to stop those insects and allowing the insects to destroy the local farms and they bring in theirs from the foreign lands. This one idiomatic expression and I have made the general language version in another thread today.

Truly, corruption have eaten deep into the minds of people to the point that people wants anyone who goes into position to be corrupt. It is becoming an aberration to see an upright person. It is this mindset that have left us at a crossed road without a road map.

It is bad that what we passed on to generation is corruption. The irony of the fight against is that those person who champion crusades against corruption are corrupt. This makes it difficult to get better outcomes in the fight against corruption.

Obviously, they ate the crop so bad that the yields are very poor and that has affected the economy of the society and it is still happening till date but would need intervention much tougher than we could imagine to totally eradicated the insect and pest from further ravaging the crops again and this the farmer would have to do because if the farmer does not put this into consideration, it would be a thing of generational attack on the crops and as we can see, it looks like some pest already inhabited on the farm land waiting for every planting season so they could easily feed on the crops. We must say no to godfatherism and the rest of the others that are causing all this mess in society today, for peace to reign and normalcy to be restored.

As I don talk am before, education in Nigeria has nothing to do with employment again. But it is good to have the knowledge because you can use am doe many places. So when you dey go school make una dey study well so that things go better for you in the future but if you stip because of say work no dey again, you go face difficulty in the future. We don dey see many people like that in the world.
