Mindset orientation regarding educational inflation

In India, inflation in the education sector is very high . In simple terms, you have to spend more on education each passing year. As per an article titled “Education inflation is twice the inflation ‘rate – Tips to invest for children’s education published in the Indian Express on August 18, 2023, the education sector is facing an inflation of 10 to 12%. In real terms, I think it is much higher than reported in our region.

Well, no one can stop this inflation as the running costs of schools and colleges have been increasing steeply. Now, education has become costly. You are getting the same basic education at a higher cost. On the other hand, the students are not able to get jobs even after spending so much. Now, we have to think in terms of the “return on investment” point of view. Many things which students take out of passion are of no use in income generation in the practical field. The market wants different things. If the market wants rice, we should be able to provide rice. Otherwise, if you keep pushing mustard, there will be no takers. The world is brutal and always be like this. Therefore, we have to reorient ourselves. We have to understand that what we would like to do necessarily may not pay.

 Keeping that in mind, we have to choose courses. Moreover, schools and colleges will give you the basic knowledge based on which you will move up further. Therefore, you have to devote some time to learning some extra skills so that you become employable. No college will be able to teach what is required in an actual company or farm because companies or farms will not share anything like that because companies keep their secrets very aggressively. You can learn some skills so that you can show your intent. The rest of the things you will learn on the job. The companies also know that.

Therefore, your college years should be very productive. The decisions you make in those years will shape your future in the coming years.  It should not be such that everything had been spent for nothing.

A few observations regarding AI

  (Photo source;pexels.com)

Currently, we are at the dawn of a new era; the era of artificial intelligence (AI). AI has the power to change the way we do things. It will bring high efficiency. Our systems are based on leveraging inefficiencies in the system. Once, there is high efficiency in the system, the gaps or loopholes in the system will be plugged which will cause lots of job losses initially. However, it will create new shifts and bring new jobs to the market.

Recently, companies have been firing or recruiting less under the pretext of AI because many redundant jobs are no longer available. Those jobs can be easily automated. We can take the example of website making. In earlier days, it was a big business for software companies and currently, it has been completely overtaken by automated platforms where you can have a website without much hassle. However, these are basic websites for sale. If you need a captivating one, you need to invest more. For that, you have to get people to do work for you. Now, if you see that the automated systems have taken over the low-hung fruits which are redundant, similarly, artificial intelligence combined with automation will make the jobs which are considered low-hung fruits in every sector difficult to get by. So, students need to go deeper into what they are learning. Then only, they will be relevant. While taking that path, AI will help you to learn more and understand things better in simple language. The company experts have focused on this point.

Moreover, many companies are also preserving their knowledge by not letting employees use AI. Once you use your data or do something by using AI tools, it goes to the system and it is used to train the system. In a way, we are teaching our competitors our secrets. Therefore, AI will take some time to catch up. On the part of students, they should learn to use AI tools. One needs to keep in mind that the tools should fit your needs. These tools can uplift your productivity a hundred times compared to the others. When I used to advocate the  AI tools in our field or office work, people used to taunt me and pass remarks like “Are you doing it with the help of AI?” I kept on doing what I needed to do. I taught those who wanted to learn and let the resisting ones go their way. I have observed that those people who resisted the AI tools, became slow and eventually they had to give in to the pressure. Inadequacy of productivity was visible before their eyes. As a human, we do not like change but if we do not adapt to the change the change will make us obsolete. It is the story of the ages.

Accept your relaity

When we look around, people are engaged in getting their near and dear ones in place, even if they are not worthy, is that right? Obviously, not, many people want their next seven generations in place.  What is the use of it? Because the next generation anyway is going to forget it. The better thing is to do the right thing. If it's going to be faith in your legacy, why bother? Many people find it shallow that it is the truth. It happens to everyone. You can resist it and what is the point of it? Nothing. Accept your reality. Those who go beyond their means end up in jail. Is it your destiny to end up in prison? No, you did what you needed to do. You stayed on a good path and helped others. So, good things will happen to you. Have faith. Instead, you take a path of partiality; you end up like a shameless person whom nobody respects. At the end of the day, respect counts.  You live for it and die for it. 

Anyway, if you do good things, you get blessings. I have seen many selfish people; they are such at a point. Because, they make many enemies on their way, while the true people are true to their cause and get blessings of the people. Sooner or later, their prayers are heard. So, one needs to do their work judiciously like Arjuna in Mahabharat and good things will follow because it will happen sooner or later.

Value Addition

(Photo source:pexels.com) 

What is value addition?

You have any kind of raw material. Then, you further process it to make a product out of it. The product will last longer. The product can be sold at a higher price, unlike the raw material. This process is called value addition.

It applies to everything. During your college life, you have to keep adding value to yourself. Then only, you will be suitable for a higher pay. Those who understand the concept keep investing their time in learning new things.

In India, students are said to be having very low skills or no skills to tackle modern-day jobs. Due to this, students find it difficult to get into the job market. Engineering students have to learn new tricks of trade apart from basic skills such as writing, presentation, and coding.

Every day, new things are coming; students need to keep an eye on those things. Nowadays, it is not difficult because of online resources. One can take online courses in UDEMY, COURSERA etc in their relevant field. Above all, one has to develop the mindset of ‘need to learn’ for a better future.

 Why is it so important?

If you want to follow the conventional route of getting jobs, you will have to enter a rat race. Otherwise, you can follow a different path and learn new things where there is no or little competition. There are such jobs. These jobs are for highly skilled people. The skills need to be honed over time. It is like sculpting which you cannot learn overnight. You have to give time to become an expert.

For conventional route goers, this route is closed. So, you can do things in your way and pace. Above all, such jobs are perceived as difficult and that is why, you can ask for a premium price for your service. People pay for difficult things.
