Topic: Gradate but still an illiterate? (Read 678 times)
Unfortunately, this is a common occurrence. Acadmically knowledge doesn`t make a person wise. A person really becomes smarter only when he learns from life, and not from books.
I don't see anything strange here. It is common nowadays, when people go to university to do nothing. I really don't know why they do this? It is just a waste of time and money. Maybe this happens, because they go to university, because everyone goes, but in fact they don't really need this. And graduate fully illiterate just like they didn't study for 3 or 4 years. Finally, your knowledge depends only on your willingness to know.
Its true degree cant make you smart or educated or civilized or good human being because degrees can be purchased anywhere in the world. If you have money you can go to best colleges or universities, example for that is many dictators and their kids attended very prestigious colleges and universities around the world but still their attitude and behavior for other human beings remain poor or indecent, another example is top executive in big firms comes from big universities and colleges but many of them directly or indirectly involved in fraudulent activities. we believe getting degree or diploma is education but actual education is how an individual think, behave and conduct themselves in different situations.
When you go to school, they teach you what are in the books, teachers have planned lessons and the whole year you are credited educational systems. Which of these even guarantees you are literate? The school gives you a diploma but, life gives you the best part, manners. You may have gone to a well-educated facility but have you picked up good moral conduct to go with that? I am no saint but I try my best to practice good deeds. Being literate not just in education but also for the well-being of the human race.
Some people have passed through school but do not possess what is expected of them to be called a graduate. I know of a boy in my school (university) days who cannot write down correctly his own personal details when need arises. His classmates were wondering how he managed to pass WAEC, JAMB and gained admission into university. This same boy was consistently been embarrassed for involving in series of examination malpractices. However, eventually he still managed and graduated though with extra years. Certificate is issued on the basis that the students have learned and showed unquestionable character. In our society today it is very common to see graduates still behaving and acting like people who did not attend a higher institution. Many graduates today are like illiterates especially in their field of study where they spent some years but cannot defend themselves let alone using it to solve problem.
You can not just rely on an educational degree to achieve your dreams. Beyond that, you need a vibrant spirit and endless hard work. when you begin to enter the world of work, you are required to work hard to be able to climb the ladder to the top of success. A spirit that never goes out is needed so you do not decide to stop and fall down in the middle of the road.
if you still think that high education can always lead one to the top of success, change your mindset right now. Only fighting spirit and hard work can be the main ingredient to taste success

Does achieving a degree means that you have become a civilized and educated human being? I don't think so. Getting knowledge won't make you an educated person. The most common example of illiteracy by educated people is when there is littering iin educational institutes and illiterate people are hired to clean the mess. cramming your course books won't bring wisdom, it will only bring knowledge without enlightenment.
In elementary for instance, teachers do their work but some parents are not very participative in doing their responsibilities. Instead, they give all the tasks in educating their children on the hands of teachers. I hope parents take their responsibilities in rearing and educating their children seriously and religiously.
Sometimes teachers pass their students even illiterate for the consideration in many ways.
Social promotion-promoting that students regardless of when or whether they learned the required knowledge to maintain their peer age and protect their self esteem.and sometimes not all students are excellent in academic but they actually excellent in extra curricular .

no offense but as you graduated in college your an educated person doesn't mean that your not an illiterate; illiteracy not comes from knowledge and wisdom only it comes from even educated person bullying and bullying others even in social media.Does achieving a degree means that you have become a civilized and educated human being?

GEtting an educations means that you just have more tools than what other kight have if they did not graduate or studied. HOwever it is no use if you dont know hot to utilize them and thats where other can be more literste than you and that is something we must remember and pinder on

Absolutely agree.
Can add, that any knoledge is nothinh without practice and experience.
So if you were a golden boy in school doesn't mean that you are smart.

You are right my friend. Graduating is not enough for being well educated person. But also you have to improve yourself with experiences of life school. When you may use knowledges that you learned in college in real life, then you will be different from many people and this character will open many ways for success.

This is true, getting a degrre doesn't make you literate or smart. I know a lot of big headed people who are degree holders who are stupid literally in real life. Diploma doesn't certify that a person is smart. There are lots of people who are not degree holders yet are genuises.
I have met intolerable PhD candidates who are self righteous and others with no formal education but have a lot more to offer with regards to wisdom, love and life in general. It's really quite sad that the global education system is slowly deteriorating into certificate churning mills.
The goal: to produce interchangeable drones! The worst is if they were trained in ciritical thinking, they would realize the goal of their "education". Like roman racing horses... After the finish line is the butchers...
Education means educating your mind and behavior, it does not mean getting a graduation degree. If one is having graduation degree and unable to educate his/her mind so this type of education is useless. One must behave in an educated manner. Nowadays the one sitting in the educational institutes with ph.d degrees are illiterate because they are demanding higher admission fees without thinking of the poor public.

. That is always the problem because people who got higher education they forgot to do that simply small things they are dep3nding to those who are at the lower level. Maybe because they think that they getting down to do it. The pride maybe. 
Achieving degree does not mean your educated and make you better than the others, even a simple grade school students can be educated when he apply what he learn and knows how to treat others fairly and knows how to get along with other without being arrogant and can clean up mess degrading others, character still wins.

I agree. You may be well off academically but in the real world, application of the things you've learnes through books isn't that easy. Many graduate because they're good with memorizing formulas and equations. You have very limited practical use for that i. The real world
Interesting conversation.
Some of the times, paper degrees are overrated. People now tend to be more obsessed with just the appellation or titles they are called, by the reason of the degrees they hold.
I believe, It's not enough to acquire paper degrees, it's about its relativity to real life use case! In the end, For some paper degrees seekers, it's all about 'what they GET and not what they can GIVE back in return'. Think about that.
