Knowledge wealth

Knowledge wealth

There is no wealth in the world greater than that of human beings, human wealth is greater than any other wealth.

Therefore, education has an essential role to play, and in order for education to succeed in playing this role, we must reformulate its objectives, so that the school becomes a place of education and not of indoctrination.

In order for the school to be a place to build the appropriate personality, it must be an institution for preparing students for examinations, and to grant certificates as an entry card to the community.

Educational reform begins in school and in classrooms by a teacher who is aware of the needs of his community's development and believes that it is education suitable for development that cannot be confined between the walls of the classroom and within the school walls.

If appropriate education for development is confined between the walls of the classroom and the school walls, the school as well as the university will produce only birds of wood that cannot fly.

The student who graduates from university today is a bird that cannot fly, in the words of Shaker Al-Nabulsi in his book "The Wooden Bird; Certificates in the Fall of Contemporary Arab Education", because he was not provided with the science that enables him to fly, innovate and produce in his society, so it is more like a wooden bird that is unable to move, robbed of spirit and will.

Victor Hugo says: Open a school and close a prison, and we can prove today that the school itself is a prison, and that the whole education seems to many as a big deal that loses the children's enthusiasm and drive to learn, is this not a recognition of the failure of the whole civilization?

In fact, we say that school, university or institute is no longer a social manifestation in the West or the East, and degrees and professionalism are no longer a medal that citizens attach to their chests on special occasions, as in the Arab world, especially in the third world in general.

The luxury of education in the Arab world has reached the level of becoming an engineer, doctor and researcher unemployed!! It has been said that a professor at a university left the university teaching profession, where he could not live decently from her income, and was discharged with his father, who works as a teacher in the installation of tiles and Qaishani, where income is higher and more, and where the demand for this profession is more than the demand for university professors.

Plato was quoted in his Republic as saying: The formation of a human being requires fifty years, from which the principles of modern education were based on three foundations: home, school, the third environment, which means sport, the street, youth movements, their clubs, camps and scout teams.

Was the house able to do its educational duty towards the individual? Has the school been able to do its educational duty towards the individual?

Has the third environment been able to be the third link in the education and education of the individual?

When Plato assumed 50 years had passed, in order for man to be made up, he was based on the principles of education he had established in his Republic, and Plato defined education as the virtue that a boy acquires, starting with the family.

The family, which lived in a large, welcoming house, brought together all the family members, from grandfather and grandmother, father, mother and children, where they were brought together by one council, one hadith, one trip, perhaps one dish, this intimate family atmosphere of affection, the prevailing love, and the prevailing human communication, which is the basis of virtue — this atmosphere no longer exists.

The big house disappeared and the family lived in a box of reinforced concrete, and instead of the big house there were several houses; a grandfather and grandmother's house, a father and mother's house and a third house for the children.

Thus, the family was divided and separated, intimate family ties and relationships were weakened, and control at home became as unaffordable as before.

All this was reflected in the family and the house and eventually led to the loss of the house for its basic function of education, and the house is no longer other than the place of residence, and a place for food consumption, and the family became friends who met by chance, instead of the fact that many parents rarely see their children, and do not know in detail what is going on in his home.

On the other hand, the school, according to the French writer Belzac, is still trying to teach and teach the individual what is inside the almond without trying to break this almond, in order to see the student's own pulp.

The school is still absent and alienated from the so-called concept of modern education with higher attention, and the higher interest as Olivier Rabol simplifies is to draw the boy, so that he can take care of the account, or the rules, with the same enthusiasm as the stamp and moving games.

The school still lacks an important educational role outside its walls, as it has so far been unable to eliminate or resolve any cultural crisis, with the school itself being the cause of several cultural crises, such as the reading and reading crisis.

The school is directly responsible for the low readership in the Arab world and the increase in the number of viewers of television and satellite channels.

So when will the individual in the Arab world become the master of his cultural, cognitive, technical and effective progress?

Big and dangerous question, isn't it?
