Simi asks “what’s the point” of formal education when people rarely use what they were taught in school

Nigerian singer, Simi is asking why as a country, young people have to go through formal education when at the end of the day, the certificates are mostly not used to secure career paths.

She took to Instagram to ask why getting a formal education is still important when people mostly forget what they were taught in school and “end up doing something else with their lives.”

The mum-of-one said the “educational system is so sh**.” She added that people have “potential and talent” but do not tap them because they spend many years in school learning something they don’t care about.

“Education system is so shit. Most of us can’t even remember what we were taught in all the many years we spent in school. People have potential and talent not tapped into because it is not prestigious enough,” she said.
