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.
This is where the mistake was instilled by our predecessors, that school is the basis for setting work standards, whereas school is only a place to study according to the applicable curriculum.
It seems that people fail to understand education, because in fact it is not education that fails, education trains a person in accordance with the field being pursued and education is also the basis for humans to know knowledge.
There are several portions that we must know, so that education is in line with the production of academic graduates. For example, in an area of residence where there are no jobs, or a lack of graduate skills needed by the world of work, areas like this will continue to blame education.
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.
It is more interesting for us to discuss this issue in detail, educational relevance is not measured by the level of job demand in each country, resulting in graduates who are not needed and graduates who are not relevant to the jobs available. As a simple example, the area has large agricultural land, so what is needed is an agricultural degree as a supporter who is more focused on developing agricultural areas independently and is able to explore the agricultural products he cultivates and uses technology as a support.
Unfortunately, areas like this are not really utilized, so that education does not run according to the needs of graduates. Therefore, it is this area that must be developed and adjusted, so that graduates who continue to accumulate do not become unemployed, not to mention talk about prestige because they hold academic degrees, so that jobs must be selected and truly selected.
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.
Even though education does not guarantee a job, we actually have the skills to develop a job space and it doesn't have to be work in the scope of offices, agriculture and plantations which are also two things that are quite promising. These skills are not born, when people do not have education and because of education people are not 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.
The conclusion is correct, that education does not guarantee someone to work, because the function of the school is only at the level of learning, while a diploma is legality for someone who has followed the level of education. Skills, self-development and technology are three resources that must be owned by humans. If this is mastered, then the work will be easily formed and developed in a measurable way.
