Schooling and Education: The misapprehension!!!

Schooling and Education: The misapprehension!!!

Theoretically, everyone all around the world believes that learning through teaching,training or research which has effect in the way one thinks, feels or acts is educational, but in these part of the world, it is practically dissimilar.

To start with, an average Nigerian even thinks when someone can't communicate in our official language (English), the person isn't educated. So the misconception therein is that we empirically restrict schooling (6-3-3-4) to education.

So therefore, to understand my views, a change of thought on language bigotry is required. You need to understand that language is no barrier in education. Wether Hindu, Arabic, Efik, tapa, igbo, hausa,yoruba etc

Furthermore, it is widely believed in Nigeria that going to school, which authentically is one of the several means of education, guarantees a bright future for individuals, neglecting that schooling will only give you the knowledge of the field you require to study and also make you literate and not secure for you your actual future.
To paraphrase Bishop David Oyedepo, "Schooling will only make you literate,but your investments in literatures will get you your actual future".

Let me briskly remind you that the "literatures" as mentioned by the bishop is language free i.e it could be in yoruba language or any other.

To buoy up Nigerians misapprehension of education and schooling, we celebrate certificates while in other part of the world they celebrate discoveries.
A person with a Masters certificate is ranked above a first degree holder, believing that a degree holder is less educated.

Let's get pragmatic now.

Education is obligatory for a bright future but not necessarily schooling.
A person who understands buying and selling is educated even though she can't speak all languages.
Understanding this will bring an end to our delusion about schooling and education.

Mark Zuckerberg dropped out of Harvard when he discovered that schooling won't get him his actual future but education will, so through learning and research outside school he started Facebook.

I studied everything but never topped but the toppers of the best universities are my employees....Bill Gate.
That was possible for the Microsoft boss and arguably the richest man on earth because he understood the difference between education and schooling.

So, end your fallacy now and enjoy a bias free life and a more assuring future by opting for education and also understanding the big difference.
