Education is the key to success , yes we know this because this has been what we have come to know and understand right from when we were born till date, we still hear the phrase education is the key to success. We know our out parents, teachers, mentors , etc , how they have all emphasized in the importance of education , an show they tell is without education we cannot achieve success , blah blah blah, well let me break it to you that this saying no longer holds any truth and it has in a way become a joke in this part of the world.
We have one way or the other come across individuals who are highly educated and they are still struggling to make ends meet , now we have also come across people who have minimal education but are so wealthy that you ask how they come across such wealth, intact this has raised questions in the he minds and hearts of many about the relevance of education , has the concept of education changed? Do we need more than education to succeed?
Back in the days , education was a one size fits all solution , it was normal for students to attend school where they learn the basics and then move on to pursue higher education to aid them secure a good job at the end of everything , but sadly the world has changed drastically as this isn't the case anymore, the rise of technology, and the increasing demand for specialized skills had made the traditional model of education to seem outdated, why? because education is no longer about attaining knowledge ,but also about acquiring skills, adapting to new developments and to have an entrepreneur mentality.
The rise of vocational school has made it easier for many to learn skills without even going to college , this has been helped and made them to make money without the normal 8am to 5 pm jobs
Now the nowadays work force requires people who are very creative , skillful and innovative, people who are able to think about the box, now education only provides Foundations, but its no longer a guarantee to success in life. You see the stories of the likes of Mark Zuckerberg, Steve jobs ,etc, The stories of this people have in so many ways inspired youth now adays to explore different path in life
So I say this yeah education isn't enough anymore, things like being skillful and having an entrepreneur mindset is also needed, so develop yourself as a person and in your skills,be adaptable, also try to cultivate emotional intelligence as this will help unlock full potential , by accepting all this , we can actually provide more accurate and relevant message for the next generation to come.
