It's Good To Know

Last Sunday on the 9th of April, up to 70,000 passionate Hungarians turned out to demand free education. They also had a clear message of support for the Central European University, which under new legislation could be forced out. Because its American-Hungarian financier, George Soros, has the institution registered in the United States, new laws would see the facility as illegal. Activist and CEU student Daniel Berg is reported to have said “I think this is about freedom of knowledge, freedom of thinking, the free expression”. The quickly drawn up laws are yet to be signed by the Prime Minister Viktor Orban, it has been suggested that the right wing leader is willingly cracking down on sources of dissident behaviour. This is one of the largest demonstrations Hungary has seen in modern days, and with so many people protesting about one key issue, the government may have to rethink their policy on this global institution of learning. It just goes to show that rushing knee jerk laws in without looking at the holistic consequences of their enforcement leaves politicians wide open for public dissatisfaction.
Having read a damning article in the Guardian today, claiming education is only for the privileged few, sniffing at the concept of a person without huge financial backing getting any where near to a high level career, it is my intention to put the record straight. People like the author of this Guardian article are afraid. They're afraid that regular people like you and me, are just as clever, just as able, and just as capable as they are. Feeling better than others is an essential part of maintaining a narcissistic personality. Writing abusively, like that article, only serves to promote the bigoted opinion that education is for the few.
I am very pleased that free and discount courses are being given away, and I am extremely pleased that the correct computing equipment (in the mentioned case, iPads) are being dished out. Sheffield in particular is mentioned as being one of the institutes providing that all important ladder. If you get an opportunity to study for a discounted price, or for free, remember that it is the work you do in learning which is the real price. The money is not really an issue, how much you gain from your study is relative to how much work is put in. Please feel free to take one free course from a world leading provider of real life education in modern skills. It's not a Master's degree but it will look great on your CV. |
