we forget the concept called learning and knowledge. In most of my Employability seminars and training programs, that I take for young minds in schools and colleges this is the most important quote or learning I like to impart to them;“ To be employed is to be at risk, to be employable is risk free” which in simple terms means getting an education to gain knowledge and skills which ensures you of an employment to last for a lifetime and not just a job which is at risk with limited knowledge and capability. What we can do about this is to start focusing on the learning and knowledge more than being focused on bagging a job, this will make us more skilled to perform the jobs that we take and will definitely impact the long term stability.
To be employed to is to be at Risk to be EMPLOYABLE is Risk free
A l l t h o s e T H E O R I E S n o Practical Applications!
The third most major problem with the current scenario of the education system is; it ' s way too theoretical and focused on to obsolete techniques, to be anywhere near competent. We spend all the time in reading and learning all the theories, and never get a chance to apply them in practical scenarios. This is not only frustrating but also downgrading the skills of individuals and an absolute wastage of time and resources. A lot of people feel what can we do about this as it is bound by the education system, while what I suggest is to make use of the same theories and implement them in to small scale practical applications around your own self, the applications should be constructive and under an instructor if it is for smaller children.
Curious? Bubbling with Ideas? Raging to take more Risks? You don ' t belong here!
Albert Einstein said,“ Curiosity is the mother of invention.”
Has it ever happened to you, that you were sitting in a class and you wanted to try a different approach to solve a problem or you wanted to learn something in a different way or you wanted to do something new but all you got in return was a stare or a punishment from the teacher or supervisor? The education system is so keen on to the forcing the age old methodology that it suffocates new ideas and curiosity to kill it entirely. It doesn ' t mean you were wrong or the idea was it only means that the people have not been conditioned to accept the ideas of a curious mind, what we can do about this is developing the ability to accept rejection not like a failure, and finding people who would value our creativity and curiosity
One Size Fits All! Or it doesn ' t?
The education system is exactly like this when it comes down to assessing the ability of the individuals, now just imagine what good would it do to test all the people on this basis and what would the result be? What we can do about this
