Topic: Education seems to have failed in some developing country - page 3. (Read 2704 times)

If there is a question about whether formal education guarantees employment then the answer is No.

how can that be? educated means you gain a lot of knowledge while attending high school and are trained that you should be able to use the knowledge you gain to create space for yourself in the labor market even if there are no job opportunities,Education will give you some skills that make you different from an illiterate person.

but in developing countries without a school certificate you will find it increasingly difficult to compete. work so that education is needed, what must be changed is that the educational curriculum in schools does not only focus on knowledge that is not relevant to the world of work in the future but also teaches skills.

This may really happen to develop countries. I may not say for all developing countries. But here, in my country, as one of them, education is likely more to the theory. There are lots of theories to be studied until the students feel stressed and confused with what they are learning. The target of the education is very high, the score on the test and at the end of the education, the stage becomes one of the most points to say that a college is a good college to study, that a student is very smart in their classroom or in their room. In fact, studying so much knowledge but fewer practies based on their own skill and ability really cannot help them much in the future. They cannot focus on what they are really going to take because they must study all things at one time together.
We can see how complicated and how complex their study is so far. Most parents send them tot eh school mostly expecting them to have better jobs after graduating, moreover, they can eb able be civil servants. The thought that being a civil servant is one of the best jobs in the country has been rooted and still happened in most developing countries. In brief, education curriculum and strategy will really influence how the education and the output of the education itself to the country.

Very accurate, people have become successfully recognize by doing uglies and bad deal's such like drug's, hit man duties and also both robbery. Life is all about preparedness for the future. keeping money in the right places at the right time will help you when the time arrives. Music and Entertainment are also other sub areas people have become successfully recognize in the world,have you also thought of sport's, golf, crickets and also soccer. School's are good but not everyone wants to follow that path.

Success in life is not only education.  Education is good for everyone but does not mean one should just the mind on education  and nor to have another in life. In life there are different opportunities that hits our way, sometimes the opportunity in education may not be there but the skill one has can cover up for survival.
Life is planning if people can take skill serious the way they have hope in education, their wont be much worried for a source of living and good life.

Somehow teachers getting paid well also matters when it comes to the quality of education. There was also a moment when in my country government teachers were bypassed and their salaries remained low compared to other professions. What happened is our graduates are not that standard anymore compared to the graduates of the previous years. And I also noticed that smart people won't choose a teaching career because it is becoming cheap. Although we do have teachers' board exams, I felt like they are really not that hard to pass. Teachers are the backbones of the future so this profession should be taken care of. 

With regard to unemployment, most of the time the educated ones have the advantages over the non-educated ones. In business, the educated ones are also at an advantage most of the time.

You can't blame education for unemployment. Lack of opportunities is also an essential factor for unemployment. If there aren't sufficient opportunities for educated people, it will result in unemployment. So, yes, you are correct that education does not guarantee jobs and can never secure employment. Still, it supports finding a good opportunity that fits your skillset and education.

Education does not guarantee you a job, but  education can provide you with the capital to create new jobs.
In developing countries, sometimes the government uses foreign workers to be employed, or foreign graduates, even though the results of education in their own country are also of sufficient quality like those who study outside their country.

 Sometimes, it's not education that failed. Probably those individuals who actually chose a course solely on the basis of others choosing it and as such end up not understanding their purpose.
 I feel that education, whether formal or informal is quite necessary as it equips one prepare for the future, but above all, it's also necessary to have a skill or two so you don't become dependent on your degree in school to get gainful employment but rather you become an employer of labour.

Means depending on the need. That's what I can understand from the example you gave.
In choosing an education, it is also necessary to look at good opportunities. If in our country there are already too many educators or teachers, then don't choose that field anymore to be able to take on a role to apply skills. In the country where I was born and raised, apart from teachers, there are a lot of health workers.

I dare say it never did. Elementary school and college are more general "educations". I believe that someone will really specialize in something when they have a master's or doctorate.

Before that, it is nothing more than general knowledge about a specific subject.

Individual awareness of education in developing countries has actually begun to increase. Unfortunately, the government is often unable to facilitate it properly. or sometimes the quality of education provided is not updated so that the current education curriculum is equated with the ancient education curriculum. For example, when I was at school, it was only natural that at school I was taught computers were only limited to turning the computer on and off or just writing a few words in Microsoft Word. that's normal for the first time. because computers were even very rare at that time. and even cell phones are rarely owned. but for today or today's generation. computer science lessons should be improved, not just what I learned before. because of computer knowledge, children today are even good at operating computers since the beginning of elementary school. but unfortunately because of the teaching staff in some developing countries there are some who cannot innovate in teaching. so the way of teaching is too monotonous. so I mean. curriculum must be adjusted. adapted to the needs of today's era. so that when they graduate school graduates are ready to work optimally. maybe some countries have done it.
but another obstacle is the large gap between the number of school graduates and the number of job vacancies. so that more than 50% mostly become unemployed and they work not in accordance with the majors they enter in school. although I also see the fact that sometimes those who become successful are those who are not lucky enough to get a job. but they do not give up and innovate to make work independently. and they even became more advanced than their friends who were accepted to work in the office.
So in the end, graduating from school does not guarantee getting a job. but at least through school it is hoped that students will have the knowledge to enter the community. even though they don't work for other people, they can try to make entrepreneurs or become freelancers.

Education is really important. In most developing countries, especially in Africa, where there is a frequent occurrence of strikes, students are always forced to seat at home, which has actually affected the system, allowing so many youths to have lost hope in education and some still using an old curriculum that is outdated, and education is supposed to be valuable to the government in the sense of contrition.to bring ideas that will ease labor in terms of technology in the country, but when education fails is actually a big problem, during my undergraduate I was not only graduated in academics alone but in my behaviors to have gotten ideas that are not taught in class people learn different things while in school so I feel education should actually be improved in developing countries even learning a skill is education

It often seems this way because, the times for which we could have used in making the most charge has past. Schools no longer serves as a guarantee to some gainful employment like the early days of independence of developing countries. I hear from the time of my father's, most of them were practically handpicked into there jobs because the educated once amongst the populace were just a handful and so it was easy to place them.

Now, we've got thousands of graduates yearly with no job to practice there profession. It's unfortunate but, it leaves graduates looking for other options instead of specialisation and besting their trades/profession. The next you know, we've got a scheme that works to frustrate and hinders industrialisation.

OP I agree with what you have said. The truth is it is easier said than done. For example a graduate cannot just set up a business he or she would first need the Enabling environment will also need access to Capital would also need a favourable policy or policies that would drive small and medium-scale Enterprise. The question now that begs for an answer is does this graduate have an enabling environment to set up a small and medium scale enter? Ideal favorable policies for small and medium scale Enterprises? Are there access to interest free loan?

School isn't everything in this current world, but then, according to a meme I saw today, it says "If school works for you fine, if hustling works out also for you fine the bigger goal and picture is to be successfull "

But then, to make my conclusion on if education has failed in some developing countries, I'll say yes in some way;
• The Economist and Financial analyst don't have financial intelligence and awareness.
•The Political representative has all failed us in different ways
• Agriculture taught in schools are mostly over looked, this days every one wants to be social media influencer and Instagram celebrities.
Etc a lot more this are a little or few that flooded inner my skull, immediately I came across this post.

Many countries are developing trying to imitate the model of education in developed countries, of course this will be difficult because of many factors that influence, and in my opinion the culture of a country that can make education fail.

The funny thing is, we are looking for some people in some fields, they need to be educated and educated a lot better than how they are right now, but we do not need a lot of them, we need just "some" people in that field, hopefully doing it great. Which means that some fields are getting a lot more people than we need and causes a lot of trouble.

Just to give an example, in my nation we have a lot of teachers, which means teachers get paid less than what they are worth since they are replaceable and many teachers are out of a job, and government tries to put them in local places but can't employ them all, so there are way too many teachers who are either working for a little amount of money, or not working at all.

This is the kind of false belief that is planted in the minds of most people. Everyone should know that learning is not bad, it is a way for us to gain knowledge about things we don't know yet. But this is not the 100% way to reach our dreams in life and guarantee that you will be hired immediately when you apply to a company.

Studying is just one of the achievements that we can have as a background that you have completed a life curriculum. So it is not surprising that every year the number of unemployed is increasing.

Because what contributes to the economy of a country are the businesses that operate under each country's government.

Suffer in which aspect? Is it in interacting with people? Reading or writing? If it is suffer in terms of being poor, education never guarantee riches. We have some successful entrepreneurs out there with little or no education. Examples includes
1. Mark Zuckerberg
2. Steve Jobs
 They utilize opportunities and turn it out to wealth. Today they employ numerous educated people to work in their company.


No matter how many job government creat, it may not be enough in most developing countries. It is high time graduate learn how to be creative. Creativity with education can help eradicate unemployment and underemployment.

This often happens in developing countries, because to apply for an office job the main requirement is a university diploma, so the encouragement of people living in that country must complete that level of education, without a university diploma we will be considered as freelancers.
So if we live in a country like that, skills are needed, so that we can create our own jobs, such as other businesses and entrepreneurship that we control ourselves and are independent.
