In an era where the number of degree holders has drastically increased over the past few decades, there have been massive changes in one’s outlook both from people and personal on what is a success. Acquisition of a degree is now seen as a leeway to being wealthy, securing pistons of one’s kid in a prestigious school, access to health insurance, and having a distinguished job. This was all brought about through evangelization by politicians, though they did not have the prerequisite and used their political affiliations to fatten their pockets. Education is now perceived as a docket for escaping poverty through avoiding debts, high medical bills, and having expertise and achievements. For those that they cannot gain education, they are seen as failures in life and they are blamed for the state in which they are in, with no considerations of other factors that influence attaining of education. In overhyping education, we fail to pay due to merit where it is deserved, just because a degree warrants expertise, status, and accomplishments. For this reason, personal merits such as natural talents are overlooked, the ability to handle people naturally with ease, and also self-education.
Concerning education, the federal-state plays a major role in ensuring that there is free and accessible education for all regardless of their age, gender, race, social or economic status. This will help to bridge the gaps that the upper social class can afford and even pay their way into an institution of choice while the abject poor who can barely afford any level of education cannot do so CITATION Tai21 l 1033 (Taibbi, 2021). Fostering public education by ensuring that taxes are allocated to the local government s to provide education at the local levels. This is in line with what Ronald Reagan Idealized that “ the government at most owed those who were not to blame for their problems” CITATION Tai21 l 1033 (Taibbi, 2021). As the law stipulates that every kid has a right to free public education and a right of free will. There is no requirement that every kid must attend if they do not wish to do so, there is freedom of choice despite what has been offered. Freedom of speech should be free for all as the law governs. Just because they are uneducated does not imply that their opinions should be overlooked nor should they not be heard. Anyone of sound mind should be free to express themselves and be heard.
The state should distance itself from any form of discrimination against whether one is educated or uneducated. The federal-state should ensure that there is no monetization on credential education whether one is rich or poor. There should be emphasis that learning does not only take place in a school but there is learning outside and the self-taught which should also be applauded. Minimizing corruption and fraud is a major way of sustaining funding to public schools. The right to free public education should be free for all. Learning best takes place when it is self-motivated and self-directed and tends to bring out the best results. Education should not target only papers but also personal development and achievements that need to be checked to avoid measuring success against status, achievements, and expertise. Freedom of speech should apply to all equally regardless of their educational background. Whether one is educated or not should be a hindrance to them expressing themselves. In line with this, one’s educational status does not define one’s lifetime.
