Most people go to school believing that they will get a job after schooling. In most developing country, the rate of unemployment keep increasing every year as graduate are produced every year to the labor market with a decline in rate of job opportunity. Using Nigeria as a case study, over 600,000 graduates are produced every year to the labour market with no job opportunity. This make the rate of unemployment increase every year.



Due to this, most youth believe education as failed them after graduated for years without a job. Alot of graduate are into transportation and other minor stuff that are irrelevant to thier course of study to sustain their living.

Quote
This is seen in a case where some students went back to their school to demand for a payback of all money spent during their schooling period after graduating for years without job.

My question is: Does education guarantee a job.

Answer: No

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.


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.
Education does not guarantee jobs, but it gives you a lot of opportunities to seize and create an edge over those uneducated and illiterate people around you. Education may not guarantee you the best job that will make your life completely changed and become progressive, but somehow the knowledge and skills you learned from schools will help you overcome the challenges in your life and create a better version of you that will make you an asset in your chosen job or career.
This view of the subject matter is crystal clear and important to uphold... Being a graduate no matter no jobs still remains an asset except for illiterate graduates, arrogant or bragging graduates and blind or baby graduates . Pardon that if any arousal....

The problem isn't the graduates wanting a job after graduation but it has to do with the educational system, using Nigeria as you said as a case study, the educational system was programmed to enslave the knowledge of the graduates to always seek for jobs. The learning process is not a productive one that we should expect graduates to know what to do after graduation, since they are thought how to be come works all the days of their lives when they come out they focus more on that area and if can observe closely those who have made greater impact in life generally has always been drop outs. Most of them quit the study because they found out that it's not what they believe in and hence they leave instead of their brains to be tangled with the lectures they get. Not that they are illiterates but they are not to be workers in life and that lead them to quit the schooling and focus more in life than class.

This perception has continued and have raveged the society today that most youths when entering the university they quickly make research on what industry their area of study (major) in school will lead to work in, some when they find out it has no much requirements in the society they quickly move to other majors. But in the reality your educational qualification does not guarantee anything in life. If I have my way there is absolutely nothing I would be doing in the university now, I would have been better chasing the bag as I have been doing.

Until the educational system is changed to produce productive graduates than aggressive graduates then the world of graduates will be a better place.

Education doesn’t guarantee that you’ll get a job, and this is why I think that children should learn a skill as they grow up. It’s really sad that they don’t and grow up to only achieve the certification which they have to start looking for jobs with. If kids learn a skill from an early age, when they get to high school graduation, they should be really advance and can start making money off the skill instead of having to start applying for jobs that may never pay enough money.

Educational system is very rough that someone can not be dependent on education right now because I believe that self-employed and especially with Bitcoin is more giving people money than white collar job or government employment I believe that 7 clairmont why you take serious is the kind of business that can be give you a very big rise.
Government of this present time have their own way of getting people employed especially in a corrupt country where by before you are going to be employed you must pass through someone that is been known to such a government before you can be hired as a government worker, but this present time self employment has conquered everywhere and it has been helping people but I have the understanding of performing work
Education has never failed us but the government are the ones responsible for the suffering of the people think education is not good for them. By all means it is good for us to try our best to make sure that we are educated instead of just living a regular lifestyle without planning how the future is going to look like. We need to endeavor to improve ourselves in skills so that we can add value to the society and try to compel people to try and get education even though it might look like the government has failed in their endeavors.

back in the days where big businesses in town subsidized the kids of their employees to go to school but when big businesses are compromised by unions, it shuts down. kids suffer to listen to apathetic teachers.

government has got a lot of things to intervene including education as a priority in building a nation. not just in Nigeria but in many different countries, education has failed especially when teachers are not paid well.

This is caused by the wrong curriculum or education system so that it does not keep up with the times, currently the priority is about understanding parents as the first guardians of children, if parents send their children to school for the sake of a job then that is not wrong, but it makes the children burdened. , education must be chosen by the child himself so that his mind and soul are focused. Another thing is that he must be able to choose a place of education or campus which is also important. In essence, the important concept is that good education can make students develop and also have morals and a social spirit.

If by the virtue of the kind of country we found ourselves in, we discovered about the poor quality standard in education, we don't have to limit ourself to that, we have the right of traveling elsewhere in seeking after the required standard of quality education we think is best for us to learn and acquire, there are situations in which we need to stand on our feet on what we want, if we think the best learning standard is achievable, then we can determine to afford getting one without limiting ourself to where we are located.

My question is: Does education guarantee a job.

Answer: No
Education is never a guarantee to anyone having a job. What education does is help one to get prepared for the future on how to live, and make an impact in a given society without feeling helpless about how they will survive and create jobs for themselves in a given environment.

One being educated can survive and narrow through any surrounding they find themselves and they are open to opportunities than one who is not educated. That's the main reason why you will find many trying their best to be educated despite been successful as an uneducated being.

i think that it wasn't a complete failure either, just at some point. for example, in my own country, here the education system is built using the old standards, where students are forced to understand many things that they don't actually need. the education system here is not designed so that students understand how to choose what they need quickly and it is also not in line with what the industry needs. so this has an impact on the number of fresh graduates not being absorbed by industry, only a few percent.

if only the government could design an education system that is in line with what industry needs, perhaps the number of fresh graduates who are not absorbed by industry would not be as large as it is now. but unfortunately the government does not pay attention to this.

Today's youth is drowning in education diversion.  They cannot take education seriously.  They think that it is better to find a way of short income rather than studying for a long time and getting a certificate.  No one did it to earn you can earn money at any age but I don't think there is any substitute for education.  It is not only for the people who get the certificate for the job.  Education is essential to develop oneself into an ideal human being.  Ignorance of education destroys a nation

You are completely correct. Technology may also be utilized to improve educational quality, make it easier to obtain, and reduce teacher workload. For example, online learning platforms can give students with access to high-quality instructional materials that they would not otherwise have. In addition, the two types of reality may be utilized to create deep educational experiences that engage students and improve learning outcomes. These are just a few instances of how technology may be used to improve education and, eventually, reduce crime. So, if all of these issues are taken care of, I believe crime will decrease over time while increasing social skill acquisition.

Education is the way, the only key to success, to put it bluntly, without education, you will be a failure, you will do nothing without education. Make no mistake that education means you are educated in traditional schools, education is something you get anywhere as long as you get the knowledge that is education. Today, formal education has no longer received much attention because of corruption, and achievement disease... causing the quality to go down a lot and instead, there are other forms, but it is still education.
you're wrong sir,  lack of education can'take someone a failure. We have seen educated men and women failed for their responsibility. Education is self libration nothing more, Ans it's an added advantage for success. The issue the developing countries are having are not illiteracy but lack of functioning factories to produce what That have been taught in the school. In Africa we have millions of educated people without a job or company to showcase their skills. We can all agree that education haven't fail woefully in the developing countries but lack of functioning factories and companies to showcase and produce.

Education is a very good thing no doubt, education exposes us to many things, both good and bad,
I must say if you are been educated today in our society it's for your own good.
Education today doesn't guarantee you a job, i have seen so many people that graduated with good grades doing nothing, they are on the street playing drafts, and have seen most illiterate that are in offices working and getting paid,
 The major cause of this is connection (man know man) and this has made so many people loose the hope of been educated, because you can graduate with an upper and end up not having a job if you are not connected,

But i still urge everyone to get educated though because it's good, but if you are not opportuned to be educated, involve in others skills of learning it would still help,
Skill like,
Gmp making,
Sandal and shoe making,
Tailoring,
Welding and fabrication, etc

Those skills would help....

A college degree is a credential that opens the doors to many careers, but it won't ensure employment or a successful career. One benefit of attending college was that I had the chance to work on the university newspaper and get experience that helped me later in life. Without a college education, it would be challenging to obtain that kind of opportunity. For another, a degree indicates some intangibles, such as the capacity to meet deadlines, finish projects, and learn, which are otherwise challenging to prove to a potential employer. Therefore, education exposes one to talents that will be valuable in one's life in the long term.

Education has never failed any country, infact it's the light and Source of development of any nation.
The reason education seems to be less valued in developing countries are because the leaders of These countries Payless attention to Educational sector.

Education,is the only tool to development, the developed countries are advance today because of educational research. But developing countries make no use of educational research and advice. They're only interested on what they will gain today after graduation and not for the future of the nation.

Education have not failed before and it will never fail.
Developing countries should emulate develpoed countries on how to make use of formal education.

Education hasn't  failed,  perhaps formal education has, and the mindset of people in some developing countries have over prioritise formal education  while downdgrading informal education like craft and art  ,
Informal education are mostly responsible for the vast development of some western countries  ,

Governments in developing countries should give relevance to informal education like the acquiring of useful skills  ,

Brains birth good ideas but it takes skill to bring it to reality
The major belief and what comes to mind of almost every individual when the word "Education" is talked about is always the schooling characteristic. However, they seize to understand that Education was the action of transferring information or developing abilities and character attributes. It does not mean the formal education

A country (Nigeria) like mine is the worst of them all; imagine owing primary school teachers' salaries for 10 months; these are people that are supposed to be the highest paid. I remember sitting on the floor during lectures during my school days. After all the suffering, there is no job. Education has really failed us.
