## # If Goanet stops reaching you, contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # Want to check the archives? http://www.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet/# # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ## Maybe I'm missing something, but I am totally confused by this topic: 1. Does qualification as used here mean a degree? The dictionary describes a qualification as the ability, skill, or quality which makes something suitable for a given position. 2. If qualification as used here is a formal degree, who exactly is PUT IN DANGER by someone having a degree without the requisite education, in the context of Goanet? And who among us presumes to have the wisdom to decide who is qualified or not, and who is educated or not? After all, Goanetters are not being hired for a job, but just posting information, expressing an opinion, or just letting off steam. 3. Finally, isn't EVERYONE qualified to give their own opinion? And how is any of this relevent to Goanet, anyway? Can't Goanetters simply read what has been posted and respond in any way they choose without questioning the qualifications or education of the person making the original post? Someone, please help me understand this whole line of reasoning, presented with such enthusiasm by Lawrie D'Souza, who says he can even LIST everyone who is qualified but not educated, and that many Goanetters WILL agree with him. --- Lawrie D'souza [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ## # If Goanet stops reaching you, contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # Want to check the archives? http://www.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet/# # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ## YES !!

These occur within and outside an academic classroom. The factors outside a classroom also need to provide / shoulder their share or responsibility of (social and cultural) education. One site of adult education today in the internet and its mailing lists. Does this internet list serve its function of us educating ourselves? Most of the posts on political and economic governance are ONLY critical, negative, unconstructive, harmful and on occasion destructive. If we can constantly challenge the democratic 'centers of authority' every day (in our media, on our streets and on the net), where is the constructive spirit for ALL TO WORK TOGETHER to make things better for the majority and to respect authority? Just asking? Hope Goanet administration does NOT feel slighted about the observation on this mailing list. My opinion is about those of us who participate with few if any constructive suggestions. I am sure we are all qualified. Now let's get educated. :=)) Regards, GL Cip Fernandes Subject: Is Qualification without education dangerous? Little Knowledge is Dangerous: by John Eric Gomes I agree with the professor who said, These days we can give our students only qualification, not education. There are two categories of education. The one that teaches you how to make a living, and the one that teaches you how to be a good neighbour and citizen. In fact, the world is the best university and to quote Oliver Wendell Holmes Your education begins when what you call education is over. The method of administering education in our schools and colleges leaves much to be desired
