Do you know that the quality of
your education determines your performance in any exam [WAEC, Post-UTME, SAT
etc.] To be candid, what you known will always reflect on how you think (how
you see exam questions), what you write (how you solve questions) and how you
write (work presentation). The level of your success in any exams depends largely,
on the amount of information you know or that your school provides and you
accept.
Education in Nigeria and other countries
of the world is a shadow of what it ought to be. Educate is derived from a Latin
word ’Educo’ meaning to educate, to
draw out, to develop from within. This definition shows that education is more
of the mind than of the papers.
Longman dictionary define Education
as the process by which you develop your mind through learning at school,
college or university. Education is meant to give you the latest
information about your desired area of study which you must use to develop your
mind.
This is the greatest jest student
miss. Passing exam is more of the mind power than of the brain power. The brain
power is when you cram as many things as possible to download it back to your
teachers. But higher institution entry exams like Post-UTME, SAT test you on
how well and fast you can arrange old concepts, ideas and knowledge gained in
class to solve questions.
Furthermore, when you take a look
at the work place you will notice that qualified minds are needed not qualify
brains. The brain is mortal so it is limited to what it has been taught, but
the mind is immortal always able to perform according to the extent of your
imagination.
My message to you is that, don’t
just acquire knowledge but let the process of acquiring knowledge stimulate
your mind toward development and expansion of mindset. Be informed, but let that information
make you better…
