What is qualification? Is it recognition on a piece of paper? Number of days spent on a class room in a fancy institute? Learn by heart someone’s work and pass a prestigious exam? Honestly what is it? because, I am confused….
I have met people with certificates and all that crap, and also people who have none! To my amazement the gap between or the performance by those in the opposite end of this continuum in a given situation (given there is functioning brain) are pretty much similar. In fact certain individuals with the colorful certain piece of papers seems to be extremely deficient in many ways, compares to the people who don’t have any piece of paper. But these individuals they have experience in their work place to their credit. That brings me to my initial question, what amounts to qualified persons? What is it and what is education?
In today’s world distance learning, the mediums used to deliver it and its capacity to deliver quality education is well documented. The interactive mediums can deliver total education to once door. And those who are clever enough to use these resources for sure I believe can educate themselves. Now comes this question, how the qualifications amounting to this modern mean of education be recognized? Or should it be recognized? Or should we keep recognition to nothing but papers?
Anyways now days, on paper I am entitle to at least a post-graduate diploma. But nothing have changed in my life since I still don’t have the piece of paper, nothing in job front and definitely nothing on my skill front.. I believe my many years of learning in life and work place has given me more education then my 2 year class room study looking for a piece of paper that will give me some recognition.. .
