BEYOND THE CLASSROOM

A revamp of the education system is urgently called for
The syllabuses that schools and colleges follow have a set pattern and apart from the 3 R’s the rest that is taught may not suit many of the students that have different aptitudes

Even though in colleges there are categories to choose from not all students succeed in getting what they want and are forced to pick any category just so that they earn a degree and that degree eventually may not lead to a successful career.
There is dissatisfaction among many as they are forced into a situation having no other choice

There certainly can be a choice if right from day one students get an opportunity to start their learning life that is aptitude oriented.

In the era that we live in, the Internet has opened up learning opportunities to pick and choose what one has an aptitude for. But most Enterprises look for those who hold degrees and this mind set should change.

Learning something that one has an aptitude for can also help one start a business that is more rewarding than getting those degrees and getting a job that may not give the kind of satisfaction if it is not aptitude oriented.

The clichéd saying ‘All this and heaven too’ can be applied when one earns doing something for which one has a passion and that is what one should aim for.

Sadly however not many would choose this path of going the aptitude way but spend years to get those degrees that will more often than not lead to stagnation.
The Establishments should recognize those who are born with talents and have qualifiications that are aptitude oritneted rather than go for those who have just mugged to get those degrees.

The testing processes in Establishments need a revamp that can help recognize real talent which will also help the Establishments as those doing work that is aptitude oriented will show better results.

Going by what one sees that does not seem to be the case yet but it is hoped that those with talents will get an opportunity without having to waste years in colleges to earn those degrees
There are a few Entrepreneurs who are doing extremely well as their business is based on what has been their passion.

Dirubhai Ambani the founder of Reliance Industries is a fine example He gave up school at age 17 and started a small venture and today that Company that is run by his son is making waves

Our education system needs a major overhaul. Many students are rushing to get a diploma without following their talent. But a peach diploma does not bring success. It is better to engage in what you love and be skilled in it. Talent and hard work are the way to the top. People like Dhirubhai Ambani have proven that following dreams is more important than certificates. It is time for big people to accept real knowledge instead of just certificates.

We should on our own take decisions - decisions to use our talent as is being done by many who are now leading Industrialists.

Now, the country with the best education system right now is Finland. And one thing you will notice about them is that the salary of a teacher there is the same as the salary of a doctor. That means to be a teacher, you have to be a huge expert. We do not ask anyone to just become a teacher. Only the best of the best can be a teacher. And a well-fed teacher, a well-paid teacher, will be better for the students. Teachers need a raise. I am not saying give them the same raise as Finnish Teachers have but increase their pay so they can work better

No matter how good a teacher is and no matter how much a teacher gets paid if the syllabus has no bearing on the aptiktudes of students not much progress can be made.

We should on our own take decisions - decisions to use our talent as is being done by many who are now leading Industrialists.

This statement touches on the point of being independent and using your talent without waiting for someone to hold your hand. It is like saying that you must believe in yourself and decide to use your skills to build your future. Those great industrialists decided to take risks and use their talents and now they are leading. A Swahili proverb says that good sells itself, bad moves itself, meaning if you use your talent well, the fruits will appear without being pushed.

There is certainly an element of risk when one decides to take the plunge on one's own . But it is only those who take risks usually come out with flying colours.

[germainebull]

Deciding to plunge has its risks, but without fear you cannot succeed in life. Those who make great strides are those who have the courage to try new things and at the end of the day they break through and achieve victory.

Going in the direction of where our aptitudes take us normally yield results.

[germainebull]

Deed. Following the direction of your natural talents and abilities is a very clever trick that ensures you get great results with minimal effort. When you do something that is in your blood, you have a high level of creativity and perseverance that helps you to break through the professional.

Nothing like earning from something that one enjoys doing

[germainebull]

There is nothing sweeter than getting a job from something you love so much. That is the true joy because work becomes fun and you find yourself taking big steps in life without even the stress of the street.

When you get paid for what you love doing then it is "All this and heaven too" kind of feeling

[germainebull]

Getting cash through something you love is a wonderful pleasure that makes work seem less of a burden. That feeling gives you the strength to fight harder and enjoy every step of your success to the fullest.
