Simply obtaining certificates and degrees does not mean at all that you are at an advanced level of understanding and awareness, nor does it mean that you are educated or a person with good life skills.
Certificates don’t prove anything.
Don’t get me wrong, this is not to belittle the importance of your achievements, nor is it an attempt to belittle the importance of obtaining degrees. On the contrary, education and knowledge are the key to enlightened, balanced, and peaceful societies.
We revere science…but…the point is, certification in its traditional form is not enough to be a conscious, balanced, wise person, full of culture and knowledge.
Even in some societies where corruption is rife, and justice and law are less permissible, you will find that even certificates will not enable you to obtain job opportunities and a decent life.
Even with the huge amount of demand for jobs and intense competition, a person now needs accumulated practical experience, enhanced experience, and double work on possessing skills, to excel in your professional field and be able to obtain a job opportunity, in light of the legalization of job opportunities, and the scarcity that many of them suffer from. Countries today, if you do not have a “connection” or “network of relationships” that enable you to reach it in a more short way.
Education in many countries is based on indoctrination, rather than analysis. Merely memorizing and collecting information does not indicate your wisdom and culture
Let us return to the topic of traditional education in its current form. I believe that it is often unable to teach the basics that a person needs in his field or even his daily skills. In many countries, education is built on indoctrination, instead of analysis. Merely memorizing and collecting information does not indicate your wisdom and culture.
Traditional education today, especially in countries that we might describe as backward, is marred by many delays, problems, separation from reality, and a large gap from practical life.
Science is constantly developing, studies are constantly developing and changing, everything is moving at a rapid pace, so I have every doubt that the curricula will be renewed and updated for the benefit of students.
Of course, it is possible to point out the damage that befell the education sector in many countries during the Corona period, as students dropped out of education in a strict and real manner.
We definitely need certificates so you can continue with this societal system imposed on us. However, to reach more enlightened, educated and better informed societies, for example, postgraduate studies should be based on involving students in their research in depth in their specializations, so that they contribute to adding to knowledge in their field, so that in the end the process becomes cumulative over the years, so that we can ultimately advance to better knowledge. Minds that are constantly open to development and modernization of knowledge and science in all its forms.
Education must teach individuals the skills they need in their practical, professional or personal lives. Which contributes to one’s development, both mentally and psychologically.
Education should be far from promoting certain ideas or certain beliefs in the form of “postulates,” and using strict methods that prevent students from questioning, thinking, analyzing, and questioning.
Your value lies within you, in being at peace with yourself, in form, heart, mind and thought
Education must be based on enhancing the individual’s desire to search, question, and find his passion one day, in a way that benefits his life in a positive way, and in a positive way for society.
The process of development through awareness and understanding is a cumulative process, which does not occur over the course of months or years. It is a never-ending process that will contribute in a real way to influencing the individual, his mind, his heart, his behavior, his judgments, his view of himself and society, and will certainly benefit him in his professional path.
We can also point out the importance of reading, as reading is not a luxury, but rather it must be a behavior rooted in the habits of individuals, to develop, to fight ignorance and shortcomings of thought, because reading, culture and science, are like a light that helps a person refine himself and makes you open to other ideas, so it will be Accepting different groups, he will be less racist, and less likely to fall into the trap of the darkness of hatred that is spreading suspiciously in societies. The most important thing is that you have a critical mind that analyzes, thinks, doubts, wonders, searches for yourself and your reality. Then you will be more aware of your right to exercise your freedom. Intellectual before your freedom of expression, to exercise your right to analysis and research in light of the availability of a lot of information today and disparate theories.
Your value lies within you, that you are at peace with yourself, in form, heart, mind and thought, that you do not make accusations against this and that, that you do not deal with the culture of hatred, the issuance of demagogic judgments, exclusion and excommunication, and that you do not use bullying as a tool in an attempt to hide the fragility of yourself and the shallowness of your values and culture, that you have a refined personality. Through your behavior and thought, you are classified as a “human being,” so you respect the differences of others, and deal humanely and kindly with yourself and with others.
Why do we reiterate and emphasize the importance of morally and culturally improving individuals and societies?
Because there is a moral responsibility that falls on each one of us, to work harder every day to heal ourselves, develop them and develop our minds, and most importantly, pay attention to science, because science, knowledge and culture will be the way to save human societies from intellectual and moral shallowness, from the fragility of morals and the shortcomings of minds and torn ideas.
