Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.
G. M. Trevelyan

BE, MBA, Ms Degrees are being earned everywhere in all fields Delhi, Nagpur, Bellary, Chennai, Assam and Bangalore and many other towns and cities. But, here my major concern to rise is that are that the degrees being earned does it equal to getting jobs. Is it equal to imparting skills needed to get the job? We have an impression that by mere having degrees in hand we are developing and progressing to the fullest. Am sure yes it is for many of us!
But given a thought is it true to our entire Nation?

What am trying to express is that degrees are not skills and what is most required to do a job is skill not a degree. One might have a degree in MBA but what is the use if one doesn’t know how to use it and still requires training. This deals with the higher education level and its quality.
If I have to argue I would say our education system from the elementary, primary and high school follows that a minimum score is required to be a literate and pass. It doesn’t focus on the implementation of the education provided. It does teach a child a concept but doesn’t teach how to execute in real world. All of us go through rigorous training even after studying for 14 years.

What is Deficient in it?

The quality, the practical exposure or is it to be blamed on the curriculum?

Am trying to explore the purpose of education is it to develop certain skills or is it just to be a matric pass or a degree holder?
