Temat: Waste of a good education:
http://polandian.wordpress.com/2008/08/17/waste-of-a-g...Poland must be right up there in terms of the number of people with a higher education. If nothing else, the depth of knowledge displayed in the comments we receive here on Polandian is a good indication of a relatively well educated country. Reading through the comments on the post below, it might be reasonable to assume that quite a few people chose history as their subject! Companies are attracted to Poland because of its strong supply of well educated people (and then give them jobs in call centres!). This is all well and good. No doubt in my mind that, generally speaking, one can have a far better class of educated theoretical debate here in Poland than you can in the UK, but I can’t help wondering if that comes at a cost. The cost being generations of Poles who live so long in the molly-coddled environments of home and university that they are not ready to make real progress in the “outside world” until they are staring their 30th birthday in the face. Quite a few years behind similar generations from other European countries.
I'd agree with the author here.
I believe Poles value education too much at the expense of practical knowledge.
