Musings on the whole education debate…

The biggest role of formal education today is to get a job.
If you really want to change the world, then it’s totally irrelevant.

You have educated idiots.
You have uneducated idiots.
You have educated greats.
You have uneducated greats.
Focus on the individual not his/her education.

Would Mani say…
How can a poorly educated person (Maken) comment on an even more poorly educated person (Smriti)?

Congress to BJP…
Hamaare 12th class pass hamaare hai, pyaare hai,
Tumhaare 12th class pass zindagi se hare hai.
#SmritiIrani

You need education to be a doctor, engineer, lawyer, rocket scientist…
You don’t need education to be a successful businessman or a leader.

Simple definitions…
Illiterate: Can’t read or write.
Educated: Went to school or college.
Uneducated: Didn’t go to school.
12th Pass: Educated, just didn’t go to college.
Dictionary definition of education…
The act or process of imparting or acquiring general knowledge, developing the powers of reasoning and judgment, and generally of preparing oneself or others intellectually for mature life.
Note: This particular definition of education has absolutely nothing to do with school, college or degrees of any kind.

The Manmohan Cabinet had many Oxbridge-Harvard Ministers.
The Modi Cabinet has many who never went to college.
Let’s see who performs better.

Failures are the stepping stones to success…

Failed to get college degree.
–>Became beauty queen and TV superstar.

Failed to win Lok Sabha seat.
–>Became BJP spokesperson and Rajya Sabha MP.

Failed to win Lok Sabha seat again.
–>Became Cabinet Minister.

Kabhi kabhi jeetne ke liye kuch haarna bhi padta hai.
Aur haar ke jeetne waale ko baazigar kahate hai.
Aur jo baar baar haarke kuch jeete, use Smriti Irani kahate hai.

She’s just 38.
Next is what?
