Hello Everyone in this Amazing Community,
I hope you are all doing great.
Education is the Key, so they say, but personally I feel Technology has created another Key of it own, the more we enter the Digital Age and Advanced Technology, the more decline we see in some parts of the Educational System.
It's been days I came around, so I was so happy when I saw the prompt topics, many of the Prompt topic is mind Blowing but the one that catch my eyes was that of Education.
I was talking to one of my Neighbours child who just Got admission to Benue state University some week ago, I asked Him what course did he applied for and what course was given to Him in The University.
Shockingly to my surprise he told me he have always dreamt of being a Civil engineer, so he applied for it, but then unlucky enough for him, he was Given physics and Education.
I asked him, if He really loves the course, he said no that he just didn't have a choice, because he have been at home for some couple of Years and He doesn't want to stay back doing nothing, and he is also tired of writing Jamb exams over and Over again.
After all the reasons he gave, I can't help but emphasize with him, I can relate to that feeling to not staying at home for a long period of time,
Sometimes it's very exhausting and tiring, doing the same thing over and over again, the worst part of it is that your parents would also contribute to the uneasiness, only small numbers of lucky people will have parents that won't bug you out for staying at home for a long period of time.
I advised the young man based on the Experience I had when I was a student. I told him to get one or more skills to Learn, precisely Digital Skills, this is the major trend of employment this age,
Without Digital skills is a waste of Time.
This days the University and Polytechnics have created a lot of Graduates who are very unemployed, this is especially the current situation of Nigeria.
We have high rate of graduates who have no Jobs, and they don't also have any skills
The truth of the matter is that: Skills is A must in this Digital Age.
One of the Major challenge facing Education is that people prefer digital skills now, this is because digital skill is widely accessible and easily payable world wide.
The Shift from knowledge to skills is really a very important challenge we need for look out for, this digital age has emphasized the importance of skills like coding, data analysis, and digital literacy over traditional knowledge-based learning.
Right now Modern educational Practices like one on one teacher or Lecturer in the Lecture room or Classroom.
In conclusion: we need to balance things out, like learning digital skills and optimised Traditional Knowledge based learning.
