INSIDE LIFE YARN
(Episode 3)
I THINK THEY SCAMMED US!
Rising up, everybody appear to have a definite image in career, although most occasions we had to decide on over and once more, simply so we choose the “Fanciest of all of them”, we alter them like garments simply to know the kinds that finest suites us. At the same time as children, we knew what society embraces and what they frown at.
Whether or not in a social gathering or no matter settings we discover ourselves, everyone was born prepared to creating skilled decisions, nobody was ever requested ” what she or he desires to be in future ” and was caught making “dangerous needs“, or did you or your pal ever made needs of ” turning into a Barber, Vulcanizer or any crafts”?
No! In reality by no means!!!
Everybody appear to have a look at those on this sect as “Failures” and folks stuffed with “dangerous lucks”.
Quick ahead to when man was given obligations to make choices for themselves (although some did not have full management over their lives, as some mother and father nonetheless toss their youngsters’s life even on this blowout century…….ah! Smh…..) and rather a lot are questioning if “chasing this desires” nonetheless well worth the stress!
Few days again, I needed to reminisce on how I scaled by way of college, belief be it is “no pot of jollof rice”, even if you lucky to eat that, thank God cos “Life is only a pot of beans”, it takes the hell of time to get smooth, that does not imply you will not fart afterwards!
However come to think about it; “Who invented this model of education”?
Like who advised you it’s essential to move by way of the assorted phases of instructional improvement earlier than you change into profitable in life? Cannot one simply determine to cease at a part and transfer on?
No marvel these “dropouts” seems to be extra profitable in actual sense! Take a superb have a look at the variety of profitable and well-known folks at the moment, they barely did not have any certificates earlier than reaching their targets! So why does it appear like; ‘if I by no means go college, individual no match blow?”
He he he! I do know you are already warming up for this, nicely………settle down first
Simply earlier than we proceed, allow me to introduce myself😚😚
I am Juliet the “Tea girl” and also you’re welcome to my weblog❤
That is the place we “Speak Extensively Aright(TEA)”
And…….you are welcome to a different episode on “Inside Life Yarn”!
On at the moment’s collection we speak about “SCHOOL NA SCAM”
“Don’t decide a e book by it is cowl”, the author stated, even when he knew the content material have been obscure!
I feel it is about time, “folks begin working towards all they’ve written about“, as a result of recently, I spotted we have now extra ” lecturers than college students.” All people desires to say one thing, who then is able to pay attention, or yield to the recommendation given by the opposite?
What a twenty first Century era!!!
Earlier than you proceed, I need you to sincerely reply the questions under, as a result of it is upon this bedrock you’ll know as to “whether or not this submit relates with you”.
Why are you education? (When you’re nonetheless an undergraduate)
Why did it’s important to go to high school? (If you’re a graduate)
When you can sincerely pen down your causes for it, and it might make a lot of sense, and so convincing to an SS3 scholar who’s getting ready to hitch the “college system “, then you definitely’re in your technique to the highest!
The unlucky factor in regards to the ” college system’ is that the majority individuals do not even know why they schooled or are education! The variety of unemployed graduates are at improve, but one could marvel if society can accommodate extra!
Final week Sunday made it “Precisely a yr after my convocation” and after I bear in mind all I handled and my “after schoolmath”, I virtually requested myself the identical query, “if really they scammed us?”.
You recognize the enjoyment of writing your final papers, defending your venture and the joy of balling out the palms of ” that irritating lecturer, who turned the toughest nuts to crack “, and growth in spite of everything of this, the primary three months look like “the financial system was on recession“. Let me not add the ” aftermath of NYSC’, one other curricular on it is personal.
However hey!
Hear up!
I am not right here to banter phrases or inform you whether or not “college is rip-off or not“, however let me inform you all I learn about education!
The primary level of name, the place a variety of individuals miss it, is that they’ve failed to acknowledge the distinction between ” education and being educated”. It is very attainable for a person to be “schooled, but uneducated“. Numerous individuals who enroll in a single establishment or the opposite at the moment, accomplish that to organize themselves for the” aftermath; whose finish level is to get a befitting job”; which ultimately won’t come to be!.
It is a typical story of a Nigerian undergraduate, who peradventure is lazy to check, and would like to be enrolled in a talent or two, after a lot persuasion from his father or mother and peer strain, enrolls himself in a college, his failures begins particularly when the course given is not even according to his desires, he struggles to attend lectures (who on the finish of the day complains of how boring the lecturers seems), struggles to learn; which he finally ends up cramming for exams and exams as an alternative of studying and on the finish of the day, graduates with a “second class higher and even a firstclass” (that is simply to make his father or mother proud) will find yourself not having the ability to compete out there!
Pathetic as which will sound, is what is going on in our society at the moment! If we are able to vividly hint how “schooling was launched”, we’ll know and perceive that ” securing a job after college” is simply one of many aftermath of being educated, however “a high precedence for individuals who solely schooled”. To not point out the excessive fee of ” illiteracy displayed within the actions of our youths at the moment, the world is confronted with a critical problem; the battle with covid19, however as disheartening that is, it is painful that many of the “false information randomly shared, which has succeeded in instilling concern into folks at the moment” have been promoted by our “so-called graduates”, some have been written by them, and one would possibly marvel what tomorrow will probably appear like with thus units of individuals (who’re waging to take over tomorrow).
Let me offer you a quick rationalization on what ” Training Entails “.
The reality is, Training itself had been overemphasized particularly in Third world nations, of which African international locations makes a part of it. Tracing down its historical past, we contemplate it as a product of colonialism, the act abruptly borrowed from Western international locations. The primary purpose for it is introduction was to foster the colonial course of, however fortuitously for the colonized, the introduction to which uncovered some hidden information and information, which at the moment is the bedrock of studying. Because it erodes from casual to formal, there got here then a system of schooling which led to the formation 6334.
Step one of individuals who have been lucky to have undergone this degree have been opportune to occupy sure managerial place, however, the system of age, peak have been taken first into critical issues(as an example, in case your hand does not contact your ears whereas crossed over your head).
At this level, folks have been even pressured to go to high school, as a result of they hadn’t totally embraced the system and since they have been extra of Agrarian (agricultural society), they like their youngsters serving to them out in farms for man energy. This continued not till the period erode and thru civilization, folks started to see causes for being schooled. Folks started to suppose in a different way in regards to the system, particularly after they realized that a lot worth was positioned on it, the male people have been enrolled greater than the females (because it was believed that the females will sometime change into one other man’s property), as a result of man is at all times the bread winner of the house (particularly after they observed the excessive fee of employment. This course of additionally birthed improve in inhabitants, and now so many individuals needed to compete inside themselves to get admitted to establishments of their alternative, the clever ones have been handpicked whereas others have been left,so many issues modified within the sector as some even noticed it as a way of monetizing folks, now everybody desires to go to high school as a result of it is believed that “education is a gate move for employment”, folks now focus extra on ” education as an alternative of schooling ” and saddening as this had continued until the current day.
With all of those, can one now say that “there are few educated elites in our society?”……. Effectively, I will not reply that, cos I do know you already know the reply.
Most likely you are questioning now ” whether or not to stop education “……please don’t, quite strategy the system with a brand new mentality, of leaving ” as an informed elite and never a college leaver”. Education will solely go away you with simply jobs and employment (that is even for these with connection or the likes; which some individuals find yourself as sad staff), however being educated will preserve you “match for any type of competitors”; even when they select to drop folks off their jobs, the educated ones will nonetheless have management over their topics.
One good factor I can say about being educated is that, “it widens your horizon and helps you to learn in regards to the issues taking place round you“. Thoughts you, schooling is just not restricted to the settings of a category or lecture room as a result of one can be taught wherever regardless of the situation.
To the scholars and undergraduates, as a lot as you are in class, studying, getting ready for exams and examinations and chasing that diploma, try to get further abilities whilst you look for side-hustle, it will make it easier to achieve extra expertise and at benefit if you get to the market tomorrow……… there are many people who find themselves extra detailed in that which you already know and are able to work extra; make sure you make your self match for the market!
For these considering as as to if to stay of their fields or course to choose up a profession; nicely let me congratulate you first for taking a daring step of ending, although your plans are up on deviating, extra purpose why you might want to examine what you’re keen on, or keen about! Sure you is likely to be questioning of I do not know the system/market is corrupt; I do, I do know all of those, however have you learnt you possibly can nonetheless make it an trouble whilst you nonetheless hustle! I promised myself that I have to work according to my course it doesn’t matter what, and at the moment it is taking part in out! Many of the issues I do know at the moment about social issues and options are product of the knowledge I bought from my course.
Lastly I’ll recommendation, as a lot as you’re skillful in a single craft or the opposite, try to get a level, your place tomorrow would possibly demand one from you, and it will not even sound good if you happen to’re unable to satisfy up the necessities. Sure! Most profitable folks at the moment did not begin their journey with a level, however at alongside the way in which, they knew it was crucial and that was why they fight as a lot as they may to get a level afterwards.
Now inform me “have been you really scammed to high school?”
Let me know your ideas within the remark field😚
