Education as the bed rock of a country

[Gozie51]

Education is the bed rock of the any society. A country that wants to develop must concentrate on the investment of education. It is a serious business for the end result is great. Taking education as a serious business starts from the  budgetary a nation has for it and this is why
UNESCO has given a stipulated percentage of a yearly as 26% because that's the way a country can develop and take advantage of their environment.

In Africa, picking Ghana, South Africa and Nigeria as a reference point, the first two mentioned have done far more better than Nigeria in budgetary allocation.

In comparison, Ghana's budgetary allocation to education is 18.6% in 2018. This according to google from world bank data

Ghana - Public Spending On Education, Total (% Of Government Expenditure)

Government expenditure on education, total (% of government expenditure) in Ghana was reported at 18.6 % in 2018, according to the World Bank collection of development indicators, compiled from officially recognized sources. Ghana - Public spending on education, total (% of government expenditure) - actual values, historical data, forecasts and projections were sourced from the World Bank on November of 2020.

Also, south Africa has been budgeting more than Nigeria in education with 20% going to education and this is evident in there standard of education.

In Nigeria, the story is not the same as the budget for education isn't fairing any better.

The troubled sector receives a meagre 5.6 per cent of the total budget, much below the recommended benchmark.

The educational system looks like no proper attention is giving to it and it witness a lot of brain drain and her best brains are found in other countries studying and doing great.

The consistent lecturers strike for demanding better funding and well functional system can't be overemphasized. You can have better reading with the source

I think education is highly important but it also needs to be tied in with a system of government that allows creative thinking to flourish. It is one thing to read what scientists have written before you and reproduce the same result, however it doesn't necessarily mean you will be able to think of the next best idea. Taking China for instance, the population is growing much more educated which is a great thing - however many ideas will get stifled because the person may be afraid of upsetting the government in some bizarre way and choose not to work on that idea further.

An educated population will drive many subtle benefits with the right system of government, like being naturally inclined against corruption. Corruption weakens everything, because if you allow yourself to be bought off then you are naturally saying that you will expect to have to buy off other people for an advantage in future. Corruption can create great divides within a country and will make everyone feel slightly less in control of their destiny.

Investing on education is good for the future of a country but when a country keep investing on education and start producing more graduates year by year but they failed to make the enough employment opportunities for them will make the economy into mess again. Graduates will start working for less pay and the remaining will move to other countries for better salary and pay taxes to those countries but at the end one who produced the person will be benefiting nothing from it.

Interesting opinion! I did not think that corruption is such a terrible phenomenon.
Thank you for your valuable thoughts!

There is a VERY fine line between education and indoctrination. I tend to think most "education" is purely indoctrination. No matter how much money is burned on it.

I think learning naturally is much healthier and happier for children. How much money could parents spend on learning (books, specific tutors, nature trips and foreign exploration, science equipment and computers) without having to buckle under the huge tax burden of corporatized public education which in effect is youth PRISON.

Teachers unions, overpaid athletic directors, ugly overpriced buildings, bus systems, and standard gov corruption bloat doesn't come cheap.

Bear in mind Rome never had a centralized school system and their society lasted MUCH longer than any modern "democracy"/"constitutional", corporate structured, "nation". More stable too I'd say.

I learned NOTHING from "education systems" except how to abide a ton of stupid, narcicistic, people.

P.S. I wanted to go postal on my school if I had to read The Scarlet Letter any more times (3 times). The girls learned NOTHING from that btw. School is a factory to spread STDs and freemason garbage.

[franky1]

education only works if it teaches people things they need to learn

for instance.
some area's have ZERO jobs available in the doorman/security sector. yet employment centres offer free education to get into security work(facepalm)

for instance
africa. while there is not much english speaking people. educating kids in english and christianity will not give them the skills to cook, fish, build houses

i have noticed that schools in the UK spent 3 hours a week on religion and history. but only 1 hour on proper real life tasks like cooking. and only one lesson every 6months on money management
even sex education was like 1 lesson a year

..
africans do not need to learn romeo and juliet. they could just use google translater. they instead need to learn how to communicate and socialise and do trade.

[nightrider]

In my opinion, education is the foundation for the rapid and sustainable development of the country, determining the future and destiny of the nation. Deeply aware of the importance of education and training, our State always considers education a top national policy, placing education at the center of the development process. I think the education industry closely combines school, family and society education, building a safe, friendly, equal, healthy educational environment, green - clean - beautiful school landscape.

[semobo]

Education is a business or a service? Which itself a big question needs to be answered by the governments all around the world. And then most of the government eben the developed countries are following the old study method which is no longer needed anymore with the technology we have, the examination system needs to be changed and it has been in talk for years and decades.

But government doesn't want to change the system because they just want all those people to be a degree holder without actual knowledge about anything.

[cocoadreamboy]

It was interesting to read your thoughts. I believe that the school has both positive and negative sides. The socialization of the child and the opportunity to find something interesting are positive. The downside is that the education system is very complex and children are burdened with tons of information, most of which will never be needed.

Facts of humanity (Humans' natural social desire) do not create "benefits" in a manufactured system.

People in super max prison get benefits from socialization.

"School" is all downside dude. If parents are unable to teach the basic shit school teaches, they have no reason to have not worn a condom. Sloppy.

Would you want to go to the current communist ass institution? Would you want to be 6 or 10 or 16 in this fascist prison nightmare called "school"?

Answer is NO. Guaranteed.

[BADecker]

But, what are we going to educate people with?


Teach a Man To Acquiesce

This, even as more and more evidence makes clear that our recent "pandemic" is in every sense of the phrase a plannedemic, and one that even brazenly inflated casualty numbers cannot render any more deadly than is a typical bad flu season.

Don't get me wrong: Six members of my immediate family tested positive for COVID. (And each recovered fully, thank God). So I am not a bit cavalier about the real suffering of the last 18 months.

But my friends and neighbors sometimes appear to be in a literal race to embrace the entire spectrum, from vapid to vicious, of whatever soul-crushing and freedom-smashing offal spews over us from the mouths of the pundits and "news" anchors haunting the corners of our living rooms, offices, and ear buds. To wit: last fall there was a local fish monger who shouted me down for the grave crime of not fully covering my nose. Her loud, unrelenting insults showered over me like foul residuum from a sickly sneeze. Or this spring my wife observed a shopper who literally screamed accusations of murder at a fellow shopper, a mild-mannered woman also guilty of the naked-nose atrocity. And how quickly we changed our entire society: just two years ago someone irrationally shouting accusations of murder in the marketplace would have faced potential litigation for slander , or worse, been dragged away for (much-deserved) observation.

Young Adults Shun COVID Vaccine as White House Warns of Risks + More

"For young people who may think this doesn't affect you, listen up, please. This virus, even a mild case, can be with you for months. It will impact on your social life," President Joe Biden said at the White House on June 2.

CDC Admits Teens Vaccinated with Pfizer or Moderna at Higher Risk of Heart Inflammation

The Defender reported:

As CNN reported Wednesday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) advisory committee now acknowledges a higher-than-expected number of cases of heart inflammation among 16- to 24-year-olds who recently received a second dose of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccines.

Based on a May 24 report from the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Technical Work Group (VaST), the CDC on June 1 updated its website with the following language:

"Data from VAERS [Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System] show that in the 30-day window following dose 2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccination, there was a higher number of observed than expected myocarditis/pericarditis cases in 16–24-year-olds."

When Will the Mass Murder by Public Health Authorities and Health Care Providers Cease?

Here is the website for all 96 studies of Ivermectin for Covid treatment.  Ivermectin is even more effective, especially in late treatment of Covid.

Despite the overwhelming evidence of two safe and effective cures for Covid, Big Pharma, public health bureaucrats such as Dr. Fauci, medical associations, hospital and corporate medical care organizatons, and the prestitutes have worked together to deny effective and safe treatment to Covid patients.  Indeed, it is a fact that almost every Covid death is due to the denial of treatment by effective cures.

It is a known fact that the Covid vaccines are dangerous.  For many—especially youth—the vaccine is more dangerous than Covid.  Yet despite the clear evidence, the propaganda has been turned higher to encourage vaccination for youth. It is extraordinary that medical care organizations are so incompetent or so corrupt that they value Big Pharma vaccination profits higher than human life.

What do you mean by "LEARNING NATURALLY", cause all you can learn naturally by my point of view of how I interpret that phrase is by EXPERIENCES.

Can you do engineering just by learning naturally? learn physics, calculus? no?

Learning naturally for what you say is good if you want to learn farming, fishing, contruction working, and other hands on labored, or shall we say unskilled labor by terms.

Yes, indeed that there is ugly things on the main system of a country (not just the education) but from my experience, I am studying engineering right now and I believe that I can't learn that by "NATURAL LEARNING".

And your perspective for the "SCHOOL" you attended is based on your own experience. So why not go to known universities in your country that is known for your specific degree. Cause in my country, theres a lot of "College" schools thats not worth to get on cause you won't really learn from them.

[Mistafreeze]

It is really true that education is the bed rock of a country,but these days education has seem  to only be a thing of degree,forgetting the fact that it's is in character and in learning.When we have educated illeterates  all-around,how can it be the bed rock of the society? I believe education can only be the bed rock of the society if  individuals seeking to be educated íbare in mind that he or she has to be up and doing in what ever field they are into,and give their best to the country  by deligently  and sincerely  serving the   the country.

[Xinarae*]

Education is the key to the development of every country if we want to reap the benefits of improvement in the long run we need to have far reaching ideas plans initiatives and significant investments in the education sector. We must move forward by acknowledging that we have not yet been able to build the skilled and creative manpower that is needed in the ongoing era of the fourth industrial revolution. One of the objectives of the sustainable development goals is to create human resources through knowledge based education system that will be able to work together for the respective countries to achieve the sustainable development goals.

[blackened515]

Education on it own as to deal with the acquisition of knowledge,morals and values which stands to be the bedrock,substructure and solid foundation of any country.A country without education can be said to be wavery,lacks embellishment and beautification.when a country has educated leaders,there is every tendency that that country will not experience failure in governance.

Education as the bed rock of a country


Sex education as the bed of a country

[Bigmikie]

Education in our present dispensation can never be overemphasized as most world Economy is analysed and interpreted as a result of Educational exposure and for every attainment in life, Education has a critical part to play, even though you aint going to school for educational attainment but it indispensable because for every field  of profession a little exposure no matter how  small is needed.
It doesnt matter if you are  a Cobbler, Hairstylist or even a seamstress, There are still areas where you will be needing education and besides in terms of providing services for high level set of individuals in the society more respect is giving to someone who is educationally sound, And so in such cases one needsto be Educated atleast to certain levels.

Education should have nothing to do with the government since the government's goal with its education system is to indoctrinate and suck money from the people.

I mean they have truancy laws for crying out loud which make you attend public school by default.

The public school system isn't really for teaching so much as it is for indoctrinating. All those boring and worthless worksheets, quizzes, tests, projects, and other nonsense you have to do? That's not for helping you that's for numbing/dumbing you down so that you don't really think. As a result of said worksheets, quizzes, tests, projects, and other nonsense you don't question or oppose the government when it does something wrong. You weren't given a decent opportunity to learn after all and instead just got conditioned to go with the flow for at least 13 years.

Here's are good articles on it:

You don't need a government for education, you just learn period. Whether you go to private school, home school, have a job or even an informal education from just learning things online.

You want an educated society that really helps itself out? Stop having the government force them to go to indoctrination camps or any school for that matter.

[ARTURVH]

Yes,education is the foundation for the development of the country, It determines the future of a country.I have been in Ghana for several years,many kids are in school and they enjoy the educationg.Ghana is considered to be the country with the best investment environment in Africa. There was no war for more than 50 years. These have a lot to do with the country's insistence on strengthening the education of its citizens.

[Mauser]

Education is very important for a country, but there are different type of educations. A country could open a lot of new schools and university to increase the intellect of a country. However, this doesn't focus on any physical skills and has more of a theoretical nature. A country should also encourage companies to hire more apprentices that will be trained and taught within the company. Especially the older workforce has a lot of knowledge which should be transferred to the youth.

[hornetsnest]

Education should be broad based and factual in all its form but when it is corrupted by biased or selective truths about current affairs,historical matters,political indoctrination,extreme compartmentalization and absolute conformity to dogma and corrupt precepts it is simply a tool for training monkeys for their roles in the circus.
