Over the years, learning has taken a toll on every individual lives in the world. In the days of our forefathers, learning was used as a tool to pass the traditional legacies to the younger generation. Skills such as hunting, fishing and even farming were known by our forefathers through learning.
Education as a learning process does not only inculcate skills into the learners, but help them academically, cognitively, intellectually, socially, morally and even spiritually. Education was adopted into the African way for the betterment of lives. Education also got rid of the superstitious beliefs that the Africans inhibited, for example; Rainfall was a sign of their ancestors sadness, but through education it was later known as a climatic factor of the earth.
Education was helpful in so many sort of ways. However it had it's shortcomings, which are:
The issue of getting White collar jobs requires some level of skills and conditions which are beyond expectations.
Facilities and Instructional materials are not provided for learners especially in developing countries.
Bad governance and corruption amongst public officials
Teaching and learning an issue in the system.
Non - conducive environment for learners.
All these are many more are the barriers of education, This has left us with no choice to question if Education is actually a breakthrough to sanity and success or a barrier?
