The uneducated surveys higher education

GRADUATION season is in, thousands upon thousands are rounding off the year with newly-acquired tertiary education qualifications, be they at the under or post-graduate level.

Those who yesteryear were called uneducated are today calling others uneducated and are walking around with a spring in their step that says “I have arrived!”

Unfortunately, this is a horrible misconception; education is not an end in itself, but a means to an end.
