Our Poor Degrees
Education is necessary for every individual. It is essential for heads of state, if a person is educated. He/she is more likely to be civilized and in a better position to lead his/her nation to success than a person without education. While some presidents don't have a bachelor degree or even a high school certificate, but they are seen as fit to rule the whole country.
While a good education and strong qualifications are valued in many organisations, the ANC government has downplayed the importance of qualifications.
The ANC’s Chief Whip in Parliament Stone Sizani said that with or without academic qualifications, Pallo Jordan remains a source of pride for the party although Jordan did not have the academic qualifications he claimed was a “publicity gimmick”.
Commenting on Hlaudi Motsoeneng allegedly lying about having a matric to get a job at the SABC, However, The Law Firm cleared Motsoeneng of any wrongdoing. Despite the fact that the public protector Thuli Madonsela has a recording of Motsoeneng telling her: “Yes, I lied. Yes, I put in those symbols.” Motsoeneng, who does not seem to have a matric, joined the qualification debate, saying that SABC employees with university qualifications were a drain on their colleagues. He is quoted by the City Press saying “Your degrees can’t work for you. You need experience to do the work. When these people come with their degrees, they drain the same people [who are skilled but don’t have degrees],”
The question is who would employees hire first? the one with the degree or the one with experience (Even without qualifications) . I feel frightened that my degree of 8 years will be nothing but an achievement for myself when it comes to certain companies. Should we still pursue our so-called degrees?

I so feel sorry for our degrees as they have become meaningless nowadays
ReplyDeleteI will be so pleased if our country can just change for the better. And all our hard work won't be for nothing.
DeleteThis is sad because the are thousands of students with degrees but they don't get any jobs which is very discouraging
ReplyDeleteIt is very discouraging hey, because we start to question ourselves as we are studying towards those degrees.
