ALL I WISH TO SAY IS ……..
EDUCATION – THE COMMON PERSPECTIVE
Not that people do not know anything, but, they tend to follow the course
of the wind, little realizing that popular notions are not always infallible.
Besides, they wish to play safe, placing faith on social trends. It is
not wrong go by general trends; but to tow a line with no concern what so ever
for one’s conditions of financial constraints, desirability of an item in the
light of our own strengths /weaknesses in standing up to the mental and
material requirements essential for undertaking a course of study.
In the process, even personal likes and dislikes of the learner are not
considered, leave alone their being honoured.
Such a ‘social conditioning’ begins from a perceived prospect of
prosperity in pursuing a course of study. The ‘prosperity’ that I speak of
relates to employment opportunities for a certain kind of study.
All such notions are rooted in the wrong belief that education is a
definite job provider. Alas, education never aims to provide a job. At best, it
can equip the learner to seek a defined category of job.
All parents and learners –please understand that job opportunities come
your way only if you are equipped. Without this understanding, people sit in
judgment and say ‘my son graduated three years ago, still finds
no job though he holds the second rank in metallurgy B.Tech 2023 from XX university.
It is a sad reflection of our mindset that a mere possession of a degree
can fetch a job.
It is possession of proven skill/ knowledge that matters the most and not the grotesque nomenclature of a
degree. Please wake up from slumber and
devote your effort to master a scheme of knowledge by absolute comprehension.
Nothing can compete with comprehension of knowledge, of inference, of
interpretative perception and of quick trouble shooting readiness.
I have heard screening agencies looking for right personnel for
employment [through campus interviews] lamenting that employment is not a
problem , but employability is a massive problem.
