There has been a high degree of perversion in the world today towards education. Most youths are now indifferent when it comes to education most especially higher degree of education (Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges).

Nigeria is one country whose youths have total resentment for education but are more focused on financial success (Money). Ask any student around you why He/she is not serious in school and the response will be education is nothing jor!!

The next statement that may follow will be Bill Gates dropped out of school afterall, how many degrees has Aliko Dangote? Yet he employs Ph.D holders. If care is not taken, the whole day will end up being a controversial day.

They will tell you even Nairaland Boss dropped out of school. Linda ekeji is not a Professor, yet she put up an edifice in a gold mine area like Banana Island. The amazing part of the story is that all the aforementioned personality and other well-to dos are immensely educated.

The reason is because there are basically two forms of learning:
Structured learning (ii) Unstructured learning

Structured learning: This type of learning is what you get in Universities, Polytechnics and other higher institutions of learning.
Researches and discoveries in sciences, arts and commercial world have been processed into synopsis (outlined courses) and arranged in order of evolution and complexity. The learning process here has been arranged in levels – 100, 200, 300 e.t.c.
People categorize these people as the educated folks, but alas! This is far from the truth. In ancient times, textbooks were not written as they are now. They were written in journal format, literally like a research work compiled to make a reference material called textbook.
Gregor Mendel-the father of genetics was a Monk (seemingly uneducated) yet people in the field of genetic engineering are building on his work. His works are compiled in Biology textbooks and students read it for them to pass exams (structured learning).
Michael Faraday was a binder, yet his name is a stronghold in Physics. Does that mean they are uneducated? No. Theirs was just an unstructured form of learning. Such learning process was not arranged in courses like what is obtained in higher Institutions albeit it is still the same learning process.

Seun Osewa of Nairaland may have dropped out of school but he must have learnt so much for him to establish such a forum. He is undoubtedly a Masters’ Degree holder in Internet Business (unstructured way).
New courses that are introduced into the structured system curriculum is as a result of proven experimentation of their relevance in the world. Entrepreneurial studies (EPS) is now a compulsory course in most universities because it has been tested and trusted.

These courses are as a result of the success of people like Mike Adenuga, Aliko Dangote, Bill Gate who have learnt them unstructurally and then compiled by Educationist into a structured form for student to study and be examined at.
This reformation more often than not, back fire because what most students do is to cram the principle and pour it down for the examiner not knowing the nitty-gritty of such course, the reason why most people who graduated with good grades may not be able to offer the world solution to its problem.
There tends to be resounding success among those that learned it in the unstructured (practical) form than the structured. Can you now see that all successful people (academicians, business mogul, entertainment giants) are Educated?
