Here in Nigeria, the governmental authorities encourage youth to go to tertiary institutions, that formal education is the key to success so to say. After graduation, these youths are not able to get well meaning jobs. Then the authorities would come out again and say and I quote, Go learn a trade or go acquire a skill! Does the whole thing not sound misleading?
Now the key to education is lost and that is why the rate of unemployment is on the high increase here due to the number of youths trooping in and out of the tertiary institutions. Come to think of it, many parents are dip into bankruptcy as a result of this crazy mindset, that their wards must be a tertiary institution graduate, there should a re-orientation for crying out loud!😡
They just want you to get brainwashed and pay them money for bullshit that you can learn yourself.
@samal I've heard many talk about the education issue in your counrty. I think it's messed up. I had friends say that's why they came to America because their degrees in Nigeria were in their words "worthless".
@valorforfreedom It's educational rape. It's big business and people are still going to these so called higher learning institutions.
What are a few ideas that could help in your mind?
