Importance of learning a skill before gaining admission into the universIty

[Gormicsta]

Hear one thing wey we fit do to help young people learn more skill - make we promote vocational education and skill training as another path to success, apart from going to university. Many young people dey think say university na only way to get success, but that one no be so. Vocational education and skill training fit make person dey successful too, and in some cases, fit even bring person more money. As for example, plenty university dey offer co-op program wey dey allow students to combine school and work experience based on dem area of study. This one dey give students practical experience and money wey dey fit use support themselves too for school and e dey go on like this as dem dey continue to pursue der degree. Dis kind system fit dey very helpful to many students, as e dey give them the chance to learn practical skills and make money and at the same time, them dey make progress towards education and e fit also help them to save money for the future. So to dey learn skill before getting to school dey very important for people wey no too get money, and e dey also make people use that opportunity dey self employed even wen dey don come out from school.

in my mind it is very appropriate to skills before entering university so that in the future it is better to hone our minds to the extent that we learn to explore our potential, don't force it too much as time goes by, there is a way, of course with the mind we can do it all by seeing people work hard at various skills as if they never get tired but the results cannot lied to for the younger generation before entering university

It is very important to acquire a skill before seeking for admission. It makes life less difficult compared to not having any skill to offer, to generate extra stipends for you.
But sadly,most parents don't see it that way cause they are the ones paying your fees and bills, but not minding you have other expenses life throws at you when you leave home, in a school environment. That, leads students to do crazy and illegal stuff just to meet up and survive...
Many of us learnt this the hard way. And may will still do

My country pipo e go really make sense if you wey they seek for admission into the university learn at least skill wey fit fetch you income the reason why some of us find am hard in school na because we no learn handwork (skill) so the thing come become very difficult to even concentrate properly some days wey nothing day no food no money to go class go worry you and all this things really dey discourage somebody well well, those wey learn handwork before gaining admission into the university no really face much difficulty because them get service to render in exchange for cash

Learning a skill is very important in today's society and those that have learned this skills are one step ahead of the person that even have a degree in today's world. I have never seen a skill that will have no demand for it at anytime but I have seen a lot of certificates that they don’t require that for you to work with them but that part of skill that you have is what they cherish the more.

The school system has become very unimpressive and can’t afford to inculcate the necessary skill into students but mostly depend on theoretical knowledge which is not enough after school. Learning a skill is a very important aspect of education that is most required today irrespective of any field you find yourself settling.

Your right and i notice that if you have a skill before entering the university you won't get to face some challenges some students do face because of lack of money. You know going to the school our parents do think that it's so easy and after paying school fees, buying textbooks, feeding and miscellaneous everything bills has been done. But i can relate with the current student these days that these are the primary things that we do spend money in school for. There are some secondary things that we spend money on. So, if we cumulatively gather theses expenses, we will find out that it's so much for us as a student to bear.

This is where the skills need to come to play. Once a student start making use of his skill in school to make money. Some little distractions that money can cause in school would be limited. Although focusing on business or skill instead of focusing on education also result to bad academic performance.

Op, this your post na true you dey yan here ooo because I don't experience everything wey you talk ( I have being a victim of that) trust me it was so difficult and hard for me. Skill is very important for someone to have even if you are not entering school because it will help you any day or anytime or even when you least expect it. Most of the people that are complaining in this country are the people that don't have skill or any work to do, skill gives one advantage not just an advantage a very big one in that matter because imagine when you went to apply for a work and there are other people who came searching for same work, some company will give you people a test and imagine when you (skilled person) is doing test with someone that don't have skill or experience you will be automatically picked or selected and the service you will render because of your skill can make them retain you for a longer time because of the value you are giving their company. Skill is very necessary and very important to have and the best time to acquire it, is when you are growing let say like 10-15 year depending on individual sha.

It is very much important learning a skill before gaining admission into the university, yes majority took advantage of this opportunity of learning a skill before gaining admission into the university and this has helped so many in raising money for themselves self even while you are in the school, it gives you a lot of opportunities of saving even when you are in school and so many who went to school today may not have gone to school if not that they have already learnt a skill that fetched them money even before going to school, and it boost self confidence so it is very good for one to have learnt a skill before gaining admission into the university.
