The comment “education wey no get value for this country?” is misleading and overlooks the importance of education in personal and national development. While it’s true that many graduates struggle with unemployment or underemployment, education remains a key tool for gaining knowledge, skills, and opportunities that can improve one’s life. Dismissing its value ignores the success stories of individuals who have used their education to break barriers.
Education equips people to think critically and creatively, solve problems, and contribute to societal progress. A country that undervalues education is bound to fall behind in global development. While challenges exist within the Nigerian education system, they don’t diminish the inherent value of learning.
Rather than dismissing education, efforts should focus on improving its quality, aligning it with job market needs, and ensuring that students are well-equipped to compete globally. Education remains an invaluable asset in building a stronger and more prosperous future for individuals and the nation.
