EDUCATION BEYOND CERTIFICATE
EDUCATION BEYOND CERTIFICATE
It is high time we give another definition to the term "education". To
some people, education borders on going to school, acquiring degrees
and working for a company to earn a salary at the end of the month.
My dear readers, education goes beyond acquiring certificate, "we must
redefine education"....
Education teaches you about how to make rules, break rules, and
challenge an ongoing trend, school teaches you about how to follow
rules, live by the rules, and live an ongoing trend unchallenged,
thereby limiting that power of creativity in you.
Have you witnessed a scenario whereby you asked a Maths lecturer about
how he arrived at a certain formula, and he tells you "that is how it
is done"?, and mind you, if you do anything contrary...you FAIL his
exam, therefore you must follow the rules.
A truly educated man is he who has developed the faculties of his mind
to follow his passion, find solutions where there are problems without
following the rules, but creates his own ways through his deep
imagination to achieve his dreams.
Checkout most of the world's richest people today, they are mostly
school dropouts. Do you think they are not educated because they are
school dropouts? Far from it! They are really educated in their own
ways, they simply decided to build their own dreams rather than allow
themselves to be hired by other people to builld theirs.
So many people spend their precious years in school only to end up
acquiring cerificate NOT education.
Examples of these people include:
1) * People who don't practise what they learn in school before graduation.
As a student of Computer Science, how many codes have you written that
worked? Have you been able to (in reality) write a program that solves
the problem of an organisation?
As a student of Business Administration, how many businesses have you
started? How many times have you exprienced failiure in business, and
rise again?
So, are you putting what you are learning in school into practice?
The school will not give or teach you these orientation but education will.
2)*People who have no SKILLS...successful people don't depend on the
government of their country to provide jobs for them. A truly educated
person has skills, an uneducated fellow can only boast of his
certificate without any skills to back it up.
True education lies in the abilty to solve problems with the skills
you possess.....what are you waiting for? STAND UP NOW, do not
procrastinate, learn a skill you are passionate about.
What am I advocating?
This writeup is not in anyway articulated to undermine the importance
of schooling...Going to school is very important but our mindset about
school is what we are advised to change.
TRUE EDUCATION PREPARES YOU TO SURVIVE WITHOUT YOUR CERTIFICATE.
