Our educational system needs restoration. 

in Hive Learnerslast year

Hello, everyone.

Welcome to my blog and another wonderful edition of the Hive Learners' featured post. As time passes, a lot of good attributes pass with it. As the world continues to evolve and improve, a lot of good things have been forced to become things of the past. So many of these things are so important, but we pay deaf ears and act like we are not seeing them. As time passed, a lot of things deteriorated, including our educational system.

Students don't read anymore and are not bothered about it; our educational system has fallen below standard, and it keeps getting worse by the day. There were days when only people with passion went for teaching jobs, and they dedicated their lives and time to impacting the lives of the kids kept under them, but now many people rush the profession in order to meet their needs, are just there for the money, and don't care if knowledge is passed on to kids or not.

Even lecturers in the university are not left out; these days, no one cares if you know it or not. Just know a person or two inside the firm, and you get the job even though you are not qualified, while the qualified ones are left roaming the street. It is heartbreaking and disheartening; all these are contributing to the falling standard of our educational system. If a lecturer who does not know a course is hired to lecture on the course, he won't be able to explain it to the students, but in the end, he will take bribes from the students and let them pass.

One thing I want to restore is the standard of our educational system, a system where students read and pass, not pay money to pass. For this reason, I have come across lots of graduates who cannot even defend the result they graduated with. Our falling standard of education has caused more harm than good. Graduates of engineering are constructing roads that are washed off by erosion and houses that collapse in a few months; all these are caused by the falling standard of education.

Students who still manage to read are being discouraged. You studied to pass, but you get lower grades than those who did not study, but because they paid money, they get higher grades than you, and you are left doubting if studying is really the way. Currently, students who study sneak to go and do so in order to avoid mockery from colleagues. They use your studying to tease you and call you all sorts of names. All these are forms of discouragement, making sure that no one studies again and everyone goes their way. We all know that we lack learning facilities, but that does not mean we should contribute to the downfall of our educational system.

How will restoring our educational system make things better?

Restoring our educational system will make things better in so many ways. These days, the streets are flooded with graduates who can't even spell correctly, but the restoration of our educational system will arrest situations like this.

It will help curb and reduce quack doctors, engineers, e.t.c that hit the streets daily. Someone studied medicine and surgery but does not have an idea of simple first aid. Despite all the years in school, they passed all courses with good grades.

Thanks for reading my post.

Now a higher percentage just want to work because they need money to survive. No more passion for work: in fact, many are not getting their dream work due to low employment rate which is caused by low job creation.

I would say restoring our educational system is 50%, the other 50% is upgrading our educational system, processes, curriculum. A lot has changed already yet many systems of education are too old that our current student can't compete with other countries educational system.

The educational system is deteriorating seriously mostly because people believe that education is now a scam and as a result it has affected the attitude of everyone in general regarding education in the country.

My dear we are tired of this their lifestyle in the University. Like myself I just want to get it done and walk away from school. The lecturer are trying to frustrate us because they need money. The system too is not left out. Every thing has really changed. We hope for a better Educational system in our world today

Thanks for sharing

Now that we have things like smartphones and laptops all over the place, you would think that it will make students more serious with their studies because they now have access to lots of information just by using their phones but it turns out that it is producing a lot of distractions and even made them to be lazy. Back then, many of us enjoyed reading because there were no phones to cause distractions but now it's even harder to spend 5 minutes studying, and I'm even guilty of this too 😅

There few things that has damaged our educational structure.

  • Institutional corruption: imagine reading all you can and still not get the grades you deserve and watch others who are not serious with their education buy grades for lecturers. This has affected the moral of most student and they no longer feel the need to study hard any more.

  • Lack of employment: after studying for years and graduating. there are no good jobs capable of rewarding students of their hard works over the years. Without a good connection certificate is of no use.

Our educational system is one area we have to restore.
So many things are now wrong with the system.
