Everybody have diverse perspective on the importance of education. To some people, education is worth all the struggles, while to some, it is better to better to learn a handwork and earn from there.
Some time ago, i was opportune to talk to a few person about their perspective of education. Some told me that they are just going to school to fulfill all righteousness, while some said that going to school is not worth the stress. They preferred to learn a lucrative skill under somebody.
Gone are the days when being a literate is a thing of pride. Many years ago, education was the key to success but currently i don't think the same thing can be said. My parents sacrificed a lot to make sure that they were educated. Honestly, during that time, it actually paid off because after school, they had jobs that payed well.
Fast forward to what we have currently, I can't proudly say that education is the key to success in my country.
Welp, this is an entry to hive learners prompt, Still worth it. In this post i would write about the education system in my country. I will write on my perspective of whether or not its still worth it to be educated and lastly, I will also write on if i feel the school system is doing a good job to secure the future.
The education system is crumbling and little to nothing is being done to make it stand again. After graduation, job scarcity make people take up petty jobs that they never thought they will ever do.
The system of education in my country is not all that good. People have lost faith in the success promised by education. The average person over here prefers to learn how to trade, or learn a lucrative handwork instead of going to school as they believe that school is a scam.
There are lots of values that school provides, but then, what is the use of those values if you can't use it to provide your daily needs? Imagine schooling for many years only to come out and start hunting for jobs with little or no success.
When i was a kid, my moms dream for me was to be educated. In her words, "I want you to make money using a pen, a paper and that little brain of yours." Those days was when education had value and it pays to be educated.
I really love education. I love learning and growing my knowledge. However, sometimes it gets difficult. I studied nursing to help save lives. Looking back at how much i spent in nursing school and the amount of stress i'm passing through, i can't help it but have a bit of regret. When i look at it from the financial perspective, its not worth it, but when i look at it from the perspective of saving life, i think its worth every struggle and every dime spent.
No matter how bad the days tend to be. No matter how bad the education system in this country is. Even if it doesn't seem like the future is secured with education, I think its worth it to be educated. Even if there is no job, its better to be educated than to not be educated. Education brings a whole different and rich mindset.
Thank you for reading.
