Are you of the opinion that school can teach you everything or you've got a contrary opinion?

I have got a contrary opinion to the above statement. I do not believe that school can teach you everything and I said this because I have also gone to school starting from primary to tertiary institution.

Having taking this much time to go to school, I have learnt and I have also seen that school can not and will not teach you everything. What school does is to exposure to what they feel is necessary to help you grow.

Since the school has a limited time and their are scheme of work that must be covered, then I don't believe that it is obligatory for the school to teach one everything.

What was that situation you found yourself that your years of learning in school could not fix?

There are many real life situations I have found myself that my years in school couldn't fix. One of the major one I will love to talk about is getting a job here in Nigeria.

Nigeria is a country filled with unemployment and despite how people graduate daily, the rate of unemployment still keep increasing. 90% of people don't get a job here becaus they went to school instead they get a Job b cause they have some connections.

I have seen someone who did not go to school having a big position which I envy because he select those he wants to give a job weather employed or unemployed.

How did you end up fixing the issue?

To fix this very issue all you need to do is to have a good connection i.e you need to know someone who knows someone who knows another person. They will always tell you there is no godfatherism but it's all lies.

Many who have people up there don't need to pass through the stress those of us who went to school are passing through. What they do is just wait after all the suffering of others, their names get listed among the candidate for the job.

In your opinion, how should learning in school be viewed and handled.

When going to school, always have it in mind that you are going to gain knowledge which will help you build yourself and become a better person and not that you are doing it for any job at all.

When you have a good knowledge you will becom self employed. A very good example is the case of the Steemit platform, as an educated person, you will be able to write good articles which will earn you money without relying on anyone.

So until we start viewing school that way, we will have a bigger problem especially those of us here in Nigeria. So that is my opinion with regards to these questions.
