THE THREE LEVELS OF JOB

In this post WHY MUST I GO TO SCHOOL? I wrote that School is knowingly or unknowingly established on three major facts about the earth. These facts are that earth:

· Has a system and patterns that need to be maintained;

· Is full of problems which must be solved, and

· Has many hidden aspects which can be accessed.

So also are jobs created by each pact or sector of a society divided into three major broad classes with each addressing a different issue. The three levels of job in each sector are:

· Maintenance job: This kind of job only requires keeping and maintaining of an already established patterns, structures and arrangement of a sector. No addition; no subtraction.

· Problem solving job: This kind of job requires more than a mere maintenance of patterns and structures: it requires solving of problems that do or may come up within an established pattern, structure and system of a sector. There may be addition or subtraction from the known established pattern.

· Hidden aspects accessing job: This kind of job requires searching for the unknown existing aspects of a sector either for the improvement of the sector operation or solving of an existing problem in the sector.

Think: of a chemist or a nurse: they maintain health; of a doctor or a surgeon: they solve health problems; of a medical scientist and researcher: they search for new drugs and vaccines to health issues.

Think: of a teacher who just teaches: they maintain education; of an educational consultant: they solve education problems; of an educational researcher: they search for new solutions to educational problems.

They are different people doing different things within the same sector.

However, it should be noted that capability and skills development for each of these job levels are varied. They have to do with different degrees of acquired knowledge or information about the sector. It is for this reason society establishes school – that you may have access to every piece of information about each sector.

Lack of this understanding about levels of job is another reason many graduates are jobless.

THE REAL MEANING OF SCHOOL

Issue of school in regards to its meaning is one of the modern topic amongst educationists. While school is described in a layman term just as a place of learning; it is professionally described as an organized environment for formal education – which means education that follows certain processes. And the features of school, as it is being often mentioned, include: school authority and staff, classrooms, laboratories and libraries, textbooks and lesson notes, students, tables and chairs, various buildings and offices, ink or chalk boards and other materials of instruction. But school, in the real sense, is more than all that have been mentioned as the major features; my description of school is simply a place of getting additional knowledge to one's own natural knowledge. Therefore, the real features of a school is everything and anything that contributes to the growth of one's knowledge, causes the expansion of one's mind, increases one's intelligence quotient, ...

HOW TO DETOXIFY THE YOUNG MINDS FROM INDOCTRINATION

By Wole Soyinka for thehighereducation.com A few years ago, I had reached the stage of despair over the deterioration of the university system in my own country, Nigeria, under successive regimes of both civilian and military orders. Even the basic, campus social life had broken down, a condition that I tried to summarise in the title of a public lecture that went: “Descent of barbarism and end of the collegial”. Educational standards had plummeted so low that the word “illiteracy” had become current within – not only outside – the ivory towers, leading Unesco to classify Nigeria as one of the nine countries that together accounted for 70 per cent of the globe’s illiterate population. We do not need to be reminded that primary and secondary education form the base material for the intellectual quality of intakes into the tertiary institution. When deterioration in those two tiers is compounded by the fact that those tertiaries indulged in any excuse to foment strikes by facul...

THE EVILS THAT HAPPEN TO THE GOOD SAMARITAN

As Christians in this present generation, we tend to question God why He allows evil in someone else situation and good in another, especially someone we might consider 'underserved'. Such judgement is not sentimental, I will say, rather a result of our inability to understand the indepth of God's sovereignty and His declared words. What kind of things that happens in today society to the good 'ones'; 'why him or her?' And 'why not him or her?' We could argue the issue passionately and with good different points of view that could cast down any other plausible argument concerning the situation. And as such, some people's minds, and ultimately their faith could shrink back from their sincere service and worship to God and to Christ Jesus, our saviour, because of the things that happen to the good Samaritan, who deserves care and love and, even to some extents to be worshipped. But the truth of the two kinds of situation - good and bad ...
