Education and acquiring knowledge is of great importance and that is why it is necessary that we don't take it with levity hands. Even though priorities have changed and shifted, making knowledge a footstool and raising certificates or names of schools in high standards and places. Are these really necessary in the course of acquiring knowledge or they are just really misplaced priorities like I mentioned earlier?
A friend and I were having a conversation about how worse the economy turned out because schools have failed to pass on knowledge and produce what will benefit the world on graduation because how on earth will a renowned and well reputable school for producing best engineering students still have darkness looking around at night when their students products can actually embark on project to provide light in the school premises? Most especially since they are close to dam.
Most times, it's not about the name of the school or the rank but about what they are actually passing onto the students to be useful in the labour market. Having ready-made skills to tackle the world problem and not being clueless of what to do outside the four walls of the school.
Why can't schools be like these vocational schools or these school of nursing where every profession is actually been based on and nothing else been included as borrowed or loan course except if very necessary...
If I have the privilege to go back in time to change my school, it is not because of the name or because of some bad experiences and cultism I saw fold out there but simply because of the way I was not exposed to the real knowledge I needed but was equipped and mentally stressed with irrelevant courses, assignments, projects and tests that won't even save me a bit outside the walls of my school.
Let there be schools mainly for computer scientist and everything they get to do goes around everything technology either on the hardware part or software part or even programming, having being impacted with both theoretical and practical knowledge that verifies that they now have enough skills to solve the world problems.
Take China for instance, it amazes me how even little children can create scientific solutions to problems and right from being a child, they are already useful to the public and they are not allowed to lose focus as they are being in the right schools for what they can do to build more on what they know.
That's the more reason why China would always be relevant amidst every country in the world because they are not all about the grades, certificate and Cambridge University that you graduated from but what you can actually do.
In conclusion, schools should impact knowledge not just awarding certificates. Skills should be built in schools not just building rank amidst other universities. Impacts of their graduate products in the world should speak the name of the university they graduated from and not the university painting a frightening name of studying hard for themselves.
