Re: Education seems to have failed in some developing country
Most people go to school believing that they will get a job after schooling. In most developing country, the rate of unemployment keep increasing every year as graduate are produced every year to the labor market with a decline in rate of job opportunity. Using Nigeria as a case study, over 600,000 graduates are produced every year to the labour market with no job opportunity. This make the rate of unemployment increase every year.
Due to this, most youth believe education as failed them after graduated for years without a job. Alot of graduate are into transportation and other minor stuff that are irrelevant to thier course of study to sustain their living.
My question is: Does education guarantee a job.
Answer: No
Being educated means you are trainable i.e you should be able to use your acquired knowledge to creat space for yourself in the labour market even if their isn't any job opportunity. Education will give you some skills that make you different from an illiterate.
CONCLUSION
School gives certificate but doesn't guarantee a job. Education never fails, it's gives knowledge and skills. This knowledge and skills acquired through it brings breakthrough on the long run. Therefore, graduate should think beyond getting a job after schooling but plan on how to utilize the knowledge and skills acquired through their education to create jobs for themselves and others.

This is seen in a case where some students went back to their school to demand for a payback of all money spent during their schooling period after graduating for years without job.

Education does not guarantee you a job, but education can provide you with the capital to create new jobs.
In developing countries, sometimes the government uses foreign workers to be employed, or foreign graduates, even though the results of education in their own country are also of sufficient quality like those who study outside their country.
