ASSIGNMENT:
My name is Oluwafemi Comfort. I am in J.S.S.3B. I Am here to oppose the motion which says is formal education or schooling a Scam. But before I proceed I would like to give honor to whom honor is due by saying good day Mr. Chairman Sir, Panel of Judges, Accurate Time Keeper, and My fellow Co-debaters.
But before I proceed I would like to define the key terms which are Formal, Education, Schooling, and Scam.
Firstly: What is Formal? Conforming to accepted rules or custom
Education: is the greatest access to read the world or the best legacy
Schooling: is the act of learning how to read and write or is a ground for networking and improvement.
Scam: is a dishonest scheme.
Is Formal Education or Schooling a Scam? No, because it is the most paramount in knowledge acquisition and it is equally important that is why government invests so much in it.
Schooling itself is a ground for networking and improvement. Education is not a scam but a huge capital investment, schooling coupled with entire penuries skills appreciation for self-reliance is one of the ways to make it in life.
Why schooling or Formal Education is not a scam it provides stability in life, financial security. It gives room for self-dependency and builds confidence.
Why Formal Education or Schooling is not a Scam, it creates more employment opportunities. It develops problem-solving skills, improves the economy, and it improves creativity and equality.
Education can be formal or informal when it is formal it involves a citadel of learning. It is disheartening to see education being caged in this country. I agree that education is set up being bastardized, thereby promoting mediocrity and abasing formal education.
Because of this is not farfetched. As a result of poor orientation, the foundation of education in Nigeria was built wrongly. The desire of most disappointed graduates is to get a Job after graduation but that is not the major Job of education that makes you prepare for a particular job.
Education makes the society a better place. It makes able to free from divergent view cooperation and co-existence is a very good work of education. It emancipates one from mental slavery which could be religion or tradition it helps people to understand the law while it was meant for them it reduces lawlessness drastically in society.
I choose to say that education is not a Scam our youth are Losing hope in education as many are regretting why they did not go to school, we need to overall the educational setup and make sure people understand the reason why they need to be in school and forget the idea of white-collar Job.
With this point of mine, I will be able to convince you not to confuse you that formal education of Schooling is a scam.
