Human beings are basically social animals. We like to live in communities and societies. We all have different roles to play as a part of the civilization. So for us to empower ourselves in the roles we fit in or we’d like to fit in we have created education systems. As a modern society we have hugely grown in terms of technology, mechanisms, medical science etc but we still follow the same old primitive education structure for the most part . So due to the lack of vision on why one should or would educate themselves instead people have taken it as a progressive milestone to ascend their status symbol. Most of the so-called educated peoples of today’s time have accomplished or are accomplishing their educational stations in hope of a better paycheck rather then learning about why and what they wanna do . It has only been just another checkpoint on the list. A child’s first teacher are their parents but today nobody wants to parent their kids anymore. They all depend on the factory style life structure where they put their children in the assemble belt of schooling. We all have been focusing on the wrong side of the table . Like everything else we have made education a brand driven industry too. All of us tend to stress on what kind of degree is it, which university is it from, are the job opportunities viable and trending for the field etc rather then focusing on right person for the job and their knowledge and skills for it. If we as a society keep on heading towards this direction then the future might be really scary. It may not seem as serious now but if keep moving with this herd mentality I’m afraid we’ll lose our individuality slowly but surely.
