Is The Degree Important To Influence The Development of Education ?
Education is a learning, skill, knowledge that becomes a habit of a group of people passed down from one generation to another through teaching, training, and research. The world of work can be interpreted as a stage that a person will go through after graduating from the education level. So, it can be concluded that education is a very important foundation and provision that one needs to go through in order to be able to face life in the world of work.
Then, “is this education degree important for us to be able to face the world of work?” Nowadays, the average young Indonesian has a mindset to go to college to be better prepared when entering the world of work later, even those willing to fight desperately to get into a favorite college in the hope of one day being able to get an established and prestigious job.
What is the current state of education in Indonesia ?
As we know, Indonesia even the world is currently experiencing the condition of the Covid19 pandemic which has been unexpected. However, it does not discourage educational conditions to continue to develop thought and innovation through learning activities. Initially the learning process was done face-to-face but as a result of the Covid19 pandemic still does not sort the learning process activities that can still be done online. “So what is the current state of Indonesian education after the Covid19 pandemic?” is the most important question we need to think about. Previously Indonesia has faced various educational problems such as uneven quality of education in every region, especially in the areas left behind coupled with the presence of Covid19 which requires gadgets and strong signals to be able to access learning online. Well, of course this is not easy to deal with by people living in the corners of Indonesia.
Must-have ability to enter the world of work ?
The world of work can be said to be the culmination of various problems while looking for income to survive. Whatever the field and every focus of the work certainly has a variety of different problems. However, it is influenced by each individual on how each individual is dealing with and solving the problem. Problem solving and creative thinking skills for example are now mandatory for young people before setting out to the next level of the world of work. The problems in life are now so diverse that it is influential in the world of work that is required to continue to solve various problems in society. One example in this pandemic situation is the education sector that is required to think and rotate the brain in order to adjust the situation in the midst of the Covid19 pandemic. Therefore, capabilities such as problem solving and creative thinking are indispensable until solutions and innovations can be realized. From seminars that can now still be transitioned into webinar systems to graduation processes that take place online.
Whether an education degree matters ?
Academic degrees have a wide range of degrees in different fields, ranging from Diploma to Doctorate both in science and social. An education degree is given as a form of appreciation after studying while in college. Therefore, the most important aspect is of course the knowledge and experience that can be taken after going through the learning process while in college. This can automatically shape our thinking and mentality in order to be better able to deal with the hard work world later.
Some people may measure that the value of success can be achieved if they can graduate from college and get a degree cumlaude, but the reality is that many people can now succeed without previously undergoing an education at the college level that is to undergo a profession as an entrepreneur or even have other soft skills such as entertaining even now that is on social media that is influence ability.
This makes the thinking of many people who initially thought about having to go to college in order to achieve success, but now by becoming an influencer or even a celebgram on social media can be one of the values of success that makes many people want to fight for it until it is minded to delay or leave college.
“Then which is actually more important an education degree or soft skills?”, both have important roles. In addition to having a broad insight and strong mental, having a soft skill must be possessed by every student to be able to survive in the world of work that is required to be able to think critically and continue to innovate in order to adjust the development of this rapid era.
What influence does an education degree have on the world of work ?
As previously described this education degree as a form of proof or appreciation to all students who have completed the education process at the higher education level. However, in addition to the education degree that can be obtained there are so many processes that need to be went through, this makes the openness about the insight and mental ity of college degree winners different.
In addition, education is one of the important aspects to improve social development that is judged by the improvement of the quality of human resources. By having good quality human resources, it will be easier to run the wheels of the world of work, which is to solve all the complex problems that critical thinking and innovation need to weigh in to solve. In entering the world of work, the hr management department not only assesses skills and experience but also educational background that will be expected to contribute more in the company. One example is when a director asks his employees to propose a solution in a meeting, so hopefully all employees can think about how the right solution can be executed so that it does not directly give an opinion without having to think long how the future impacts.
[Things To Do To Improve The Quality of Indonesian Education]
As a student who does not have much experience of course to significantly improve education in Indonesia is difficult, but there is no denying we can not contribute to solving educational problems in Indonesia. One of the things that can be done is to start from ourselves by continuing to learn vigorously and achieve various achievements according to the field we are interested in as one of the processes in achieving the dream we want. In addition, we can contribute to an institution that holds a social event such as teaching basic science to street children who are untouched by education because it has no cost to attend school.
