Education seems to have failed in some developing country

[romero121]

What the education provides and what the real world needs is completely different. What we learnt need to be executed through some means. When we don't get opportunity, what we learnt goes useless. Somehow we're in a situation to find an opportunity or make things of our own.

In my country job opportunities are available, but the students coming out every year doesn't meet the requirements that the job provider expect. So, along with the education it is a must to know how hiring is done and keep ourselves prepared to the job provider's requirement.

I think it's not the education that have failed but it's the government of those countries as government can also be responsible for creating opportunities for their people. Before people go to school and choose their course, it would be better to check if which jobs are available on their country (the one with lots of vacancies) so that they won't worry once they graduate but they can work immediately.

There are also schools who guarantee a job for their students and those jobs can sometimes be on abroad. Isn't this grate? Students can worry less and won't have a hard time finding for work vacancies because their schools are helping them to get one.

School is not meant to get a job but to change people's perspective for the better. But now the stigma has changed a bit because most people's Mindset has been set that school is for better jobs because there are classifications for some companies that do make education a special classification but actually the purpose of school is not to get a job.

Most people have this wrong mindset concerning school,  that school makes one to be successful in life by getting the best Job. I think this mindset work before but not any longer. The world as change that you don't need to be university graduate to be successful. The main purpose of school is to make one think well.

Its still a wrong mindset because having a degree would always been recommendable rather than on having no school knowledge or having no degree which would really be more hard to get some job.

Unless if you do able to make yourself find one online but speaking about qualifications and other skills and credentials then you would really be still needing off these things because employers cant

really just accept someone who arent that competent.There might be some exemption on some type of job because there are ones who could really handle out even just with
that general knowledge.

We are creating a society where everyone is educated but there is no value of intellect.. because everyone carry same degrees and we are saying they have equal intellect. Thus many posts are being filled by no intellectuals. Creating scope of curruption and thus failures of system.. not everyone who can read book can be an Einstein. We need to identify intellect and groom it to achieve successful innovation.

Sad to say, not all educated professionals have the intelligence and skills that mostly companies in need of. The reason why some companies do not progress or some government officials do not create big and positive changes when they sit in their positions because they focus on corruption that made them become a failure on the eyes of the people.

Education does not guarantee someone gets a job. Many successful people have low educational backgrounds. A person's success depends on the effort and view of the future and how he tries.
Education is only to provide a way for people to be educated, teach people to be wiser and smarter to deal with increasingly sophisticated technological developments so that people are not outdated.

[Russlenat]

It's good to have this notion, but not everyone thinks so especially the 90's and older generations. In developing countries, work is the most sought after career and is even a measure of success for several reasons:
- The influence of parents and the environment
- Education orientation
- Privilege

So that education is believed to be a bridge to work because that is the only thing that is considered successful.

Education is considered our first successful achievement before getting our own dream job. However, with newly graduates that are not equipped with skills but only pure knowledge, they will surely find it hard to land a good job since the company owners would want skillful workers rather than just being only knowledgeable. But even so, those educated and knowledgeable people have still brighter future compared to poor and illiterate ones.

CONCLUSION
School gives certificate but doesn't guarantee a job. Education never fails, it's gives knowledge and skills. This knowledge and skills acquired through it brings breakthrough on the long run. Therefore, graduate should think beyond getting a job after schooling but plan on how to utilize the knowledge and skills acquired through their education to create jobs for themselves and others.

In most countries, the education model is focused on memorization. In other words, critical thinking or even a market-oriented specialization is not addressed. In some places this is already changing, but I believe that this model will last for many years.

In addition to the old model like that which will last for years, I think there will also be a new model that is applied to learning or a certain level of education by following the times. Because if you only rely on old methods or old learning models, then there will be no new improvement in education if there is no special adjustment to the times.
As in the example of market-oriented specialization, which is actually really needed by everyone in order to support good economics for everyone.

But this thought should be removed for the sake of equal rights, especially for companies that consider education as the first requirement of workers. In fact, there are many non-academic knowledge people with more experience and some achieving success their way.
Honestly, I prefer the freelancer way of hiring because experience is a priority request.

Regarding the "School gives certificate but doesn't guarantee a job." part, it depends. There are some rare instances where people are picking a student by a company and then put him/her into a high standard school and then after graduation, they will hire the graduated student to their company. In that scenario, the job already is guaranteed but it is a rare scenario and I know some of the graduates where they don't have a job especially during pandemic.

Education never fails. It's just that, teachers are giving information and knowledge that will not shape the student in the future. I mean there are some schools who are teaching their students some knowledge but, in the end, they will not use these knowledges when they will apply for a job. We are living near the school, and I often see what these teachers are teaching and TBH, it's the basic ones that they don't need in the future. The current education curriculum in our school is already outdated and it must be updated to a point where a student increases its chance of getting a job after getting graduated. Well, it's their plan at first place that's why they added 2 school years in the Secondary level, but it failed miserably.

Utilizing skills really is the key in getting a job. Finding your passion and making it use it to earn money is a big thing after graduation. I know some people who really is knowledgeable, but they don't have the skills that will help them find a job and I've seen some of my classmates as well who aren't that intelligent but skillful and they are the ones who has a stable job right now.

In life, there are no guarantees. It's like you play dice in a casino and you picked the 90% win rate probability. So is it a guarantee that you can win? Of course not. The same with education, it cannot guarantee jobs that people are longing for but educated people are still favorites to get the job rather than those not educated at all.

I do not understand what is OP looking for. Do people need to stop going to school because education isn't guaranteed to land jobs?

Sometimes overpopulation and lack of decent jobs and a poor economy are the reason behind unemployment. I knew some Nigerians had great jobs in other countries. The same in my country, there are a lot of our people working abroad for greener pastures.

Actually once in a while the educational method by way of memorization is not a problem and that's also good,
but it would be better if it focused on critical thinking and taught at an early age I think it will be good for children's development,
maybe in order to be accountable it is better to do research which model or method is good

School does not guarantee anything.

It does and what it is that it guarantee? Those things are as basic as the ability to expose your knowledge. It gives you the reading and writing to help you internalize your knowledge and bring your potential out to face the challenges of the world

We all know that education differs from country to country, but in my country kids in first grade must already know how count, substract, read and write. They obtain these skills in kindergarten and "obligatory preparation to school". When I was attempting school, we learned that all that during first and second grades. We have 9-12 year school education. And I cant imagine what they gonna learn during all that time, when minimum basics they get before school, and the rest can be taught at home or by educational videos. I see education in my country as a failure, as kids waste 2-5 years there.

[Hyphen(-)]

Being educated means you are trainable i.e you should be able to use your acquired knowledge to creat space for yourself in the labour market even if their isn't any job opportunity. Education will give you some skills that make you different from an illiterate.

Most graduates waste some of the opportunities that come their way because many graduates have one or two opportunities to learn some very important skills that may be their path to success after school, but they relent and keep saying the government can support them by providing them with jobs after school, which is not true; the government cannot afford to provide a job for all of the thousands of graduates each year.

CONCLUSION
School gives certificate but doesn't guarantee a job. Education never fails, it's gives knowledge and skills. This knowledge and skills acquired through it brings breakthrough on the long run. Therefore, graduate should think beyond getting a job after schooling but plan on how to utilize the knowledge and skills acquired through their education to create jobs for themselves and others.

This is very important advice; many successful people are self-employed and end up helping the government to reduce the rate of unemployed graduates; they achieve this by simply learning some important skills such as web design, programming, and so on, and most of them work from the comfort of their own homes.
The Bitcointalk forum is another source of income through signature campaigns; if someone is very active in the forum, learning and helping others, they will rank up and get involved in some signature campaigns, which is also a very reliable source of income.

Education is nothing if you are not using it, or if you are just using it to bad things. There's a lot of educated individual and yet they choose to be on that situation and I guess this is beyond the control of the government already because seriously, there's a lot of available job in my country but you can see people not applying for a job and they choose to be jobless. Education doesn't end with the certificate or any diploma, you should continue improving yourself because the only way to survive is to keep updated and that can only achieve by learning everyday.

Those thoughts come from our forefathers like our grandparents or our parents, because most of the successful and powerful people in the old days were mostly highly educated people and they came out from famous schools. Today, everything has changed, it can be said that we do not need to graduate or get a certificate to get a job. But education is still very, very necessary, education is an essential foundation, without education we cannot achieve any achievements in later life.

You are right, we cannot blame parents when educating their children to be successful in school. Because now the situation is no longer the same. If we compare the past success of the parents, it is truly amazing and their upbringing is right where they push their children to be much better than them. Because parents often finish their education up to college. Economic factors are still being colonized and most of them finished elementary school and did not go on to college. In the past, there was no technology as sophisticated as this in finding information.

While technology is now easily accessible, knowledge can be searched using keywords on Google and you just need to be willing to learn. Meanwhile, their ancestors had to be willing to walk thousands of kilometers just to get an education.

Yeah eventhough it doesn't guarantee us immediate jobs but still we really need this because we can learn more things aside from getting job, it's up for the person on how he can use what he learn from schools either he use his diploma to became modern slave or he use what he learn to create something useful ideas which can create jobs.

But seriously educational system especially on third world countries need to be taken care off since the current mindset of young adults is to graduate and get job then in reality they will fall in line with others who are seeking jobs to that's why maybe this is the reason why the  number of unemployed person increase.

School gives certificate but doesn't guarantee a job.

This is very clear, generally we all know in that case, education is only a means of knowledge that must be owned by every student while in education, the certificate is only a symbol of graduation from the school, it does not mean that the certificate is a guarantee of work.

I have a friend who didn't study and he doesn't have a certificate like most other people have, but he is now a successful and rich person, thanks to the knowledge and experience he has developed in the crypto world, especially trading and investment, so here education can be judged only as a symbol, the expertise we have is actually the essence of true success.

Many people think after education and have a certificate they can get a job, it's actually a dead end, but there are those who think education is a formality for the world but they still believe in the knowledge they learn, now we see many uneducated users succeed in crypto, for example: Uneducated people join Cryptocurrency?

[jrrsparkles]

Schools failed in my opinion because they didn't even teach the students to differentiate what is knowledge and education which are not entirely same and education is not only enough to get job. Going to school and getting a degree never guaranteed a job but upto 80s and 90s the ratio of people getting graduated are very less so all people get their job but today the scenario is not same.
