Is University education mandatory for All?

[o48o]

After completing our primary education level we move forward high school level after that we move forward university level .Every university takes a very expensive charge's for complete our graduation level but many middle class family earning source is limited, we already know that for that reason it is quite impossible to receive graduation certificate from university due to money.Today the generation is live in AI world and internet is open lots of skilled resources are available on Youtube google .He /she can easily grab this opportunity and educate themselves.share your openion's

Not mandatory, but a privilege. Sure, you can learn a lot just by following tutorials, but there are limits, and you will probably pick and choose on different areas, while skipping some important context and information about safety.

About that generic AI.. Anyone who have tried to find information about something they already know a lot of, they soon start to realize that AI starts to hallucinate pretty quickly when there are hard enough questions from obscure subjects. I am so bored of people citing it as a proof, while being ignorant about the subject themselves.

This is a mandatory knowledge for everyone if anything: https://stopcitingai.com/

Certainly not all career paths needs university education because everybody cant all become educated and all can't become illiterate.
The reason why some people after studying and graduating from the University and yet seems no positive response on what theyy studid , make they feel they have waisted time and while in school no job to compensate them with tangeble work. The government are not helping matter at all, l as they are concerned about what the gain from the goh

That’s where a lot folks miss it. You can’t just be going to school with the mindset or mentality that there’s just gonna be a job just lying around and waiting for you by to graduate and then you can grab it, especially in underdeveloped countries where job opportunities are not that available. That’s why people should always good alternatives, just incase the job delays and doesn’t come when expected, you won’t have to remain jobless and complain about how you’ve wasted years and resources in the university.

I would not say that university education is bad,  but I don't think it's mandatory.  In my opinion I belive once you aquire high school or secondary school education,  you are good, but if you can afford a university education, you can also get a degree. If you are a bright student a high school of secondary school is a good one and you can aquire other skills, via AI or other means to help you in life. I really think skill acquisition is very important for every one despite your university education,  because it helps you create your own job, rather than looking for employment after you graduate from university.

There is a reason that universities were created, though most African universities have not shown the importance of tertiary education because of how bad the educational system is at the moment but you could see what it looks like with the European countries and what impact it has in the society.

You have made a clear point by pointing out the need to acquire a skill and that is a basic fundamental for every person but we should not also throw the need for university education under the bus.

Education is highly recommended, but a university degree is not that much of a mandatory thing. Some people just need communication skills or calculation skills and they are good to go with their life. Not everyone is built for the university route. Some people are better with their hands, some are better with people and some just need a few practical skills to start earning a living. The idea that you must have a degree to succeed is outdated. We live in an age where you can learn almost anything online, coding, graphic design, digital marketing, even business management.

Your type of ambition determines if university is going to be important to you, you are not wrong about the skills you could learn and earn without university but however you should also no that human needs are always insatiable because there might be a time when the skills you have will lead you into the level that would require a person who has at least a university degree to worthy it, so actually that's why even if is not important at the beginning you might still need it. A lot of people who never believed how important university is after gotten a job had to realize later that without it they would forever work without a promotion so they're still left with the option they ones discarded, by going back to university, so actually before we conclude the unimportance of university in our life most times we should consider the future need first.

Still confused on your thoughts about acquisition of university certifications, if its not  because of getting a good job after graduation why then do we go to school when have other alternative options available.
Looking at is conspicuously without a bias mindset, we can systematically come to a well experienced conclusion that the primary objective of seeking or acquiring and academic qualifications is to find ourselves a well paying job at last and stop confusing ourselves and others on a non existing believe.
Going to school requires investing a huge amount of money and making an irreversible sacrifice on the use of time and can only be done with the aim of getting a good paying job with the certificate at last.

You’re very correct, university education still has value because it  open’s doors in some careers like law, medicine, engineering and other professional certificates. But the truth is that, not everyone can afford university fees, and that doesn’t mean that a person can’t succeed. Today, Ai and internet has made learning so easy than before.

Anyone who has access to phone, and the readiness to learn can obtain skills through Ai tools, and online courses etc. Skills like programming, graphic design, and many others can help someone build a career without waiting for a university degree.  But one thing that’s more crucial is discipline and consistency. Free resources is everywhere but it’s not everyone who is really determine to learn and practice it. Whether it’s university, or self learning. Success depends on commitment, determination and how well you can be able to apply what you have learnt.

I get your point, but what if you finish acquiring the university certificate and there are no well paid jobs available, what next? You’ll just sit and keep waiting for jobs right? I don’t know about others, but for me, one of the reasons why people go to school isn’t just to acquire certificates, in fact most times it’s not even about the certificates but the skills and experience, and with these skills and experiences, one could simply create opportunities for themselves and even for others.

Well, that's absolutely right. There are several reasons why education is introduced the knowledge it imparts is why people are eager to  pursue it, but the truth is that not everyone will get educated, there are people who will learn other skills that will help them in life, though there are some disadvantages to this, as one may not have the right mindset to apply on their businesses to grow their businesses or develop whatever innovations they have. But for me, I think it's important to do something, whether one is educated or not because like they said'' an idle mind is the devil's workshop''as it can lead people to destroy their own lives and the lives of others.

University education is not mandatory for all. When you say something is mandatory, it means it is a must that everyone will acquire it in order to be accepted in the society. But that’s not how it is in our society today. University education is a choice or preference. Go to university if you want, and if you don’t you are good and fine. Provided you can conduct yourself very well, and coexist with others peacefully without the university education.

I don't agree that University education is not legally mandatory in many countries. Just saying that it is a matter of preference is not okay. If you look at today's job market, it is very competitive and difficult to get a job. There are well paying and stable career that require basic University degree. If you do not have one, then you cannot even qualify to apply for those position. In that particular sense, university is not just a personal choice it becomes a practical necessity, if you want to be a part of particular profession.

Similarly, the purpose of education is not only to teach people that how to behave or how they coexist peacefully. It produce professionals who have critical thinking abilities, research skills and professional competence. That give them proper name and popularity in their own field like engineering, law, medicine.

Society depend on the qualified professionals. Qualifications cannot be obtained if we do not have the higher education. Of course, not everyone need University degree to survive and to succeed. There are many successful entrepreneurs and skilled worker who are surviving without having universities degree.
