Higher education means higher earnings

AT this age of globalisation and scientific invention, it is very much cumbersome to portray the real significance of taking and imparting higher education. Without higher education a large number of people cannot participate in the mainstream development process. The concept and desire for implementing development philosophy to bridge the gap between the rich and the poor remains a far cry unless we can ensure proper higher education for all the citizens in the country.
Education is considered as the equalising factor between the rich and the poor as this most powerfully quintessential tool makes people capable to extract their due rights and it also instills some hidden treasure depending upon which the most disadvantaged group can venture their journey into the race of amassing wealth from the existing circumstances.
Many may pose the frequently raised question: why higher education as technical and some other forms of practical education make people do most of the jobs. The simple answer is: research and brainwork at the higher education can only ensure adoptable flow of technical and fundamental flow of education. Academic scholars and practitioners both have found that public attitudes are sensitive to the relationship between the perceived importance and necessity of higher education and perceptions of access.
With the overall situation in the field of global economy, politics, socio-economic condition and geo-political factors tend to improve the necessity of higher education will rise.
If Bangladesh can arrange proper place for utilising the graduates then graduates coming out after higher education can contribute to the nation building process. When people are equipped with quality higher education, they will know the facilities Bangladesh will offer from them and they can get ready to enjoy the facilities. Unless people are educated they are oppressed in many ways by the so-called elites, policy makers and rich section of the society. Only education can release them from this captive and painstaking world of oppression.
Coming out from the narrow concept that without creating many jobs we should nurture the thought that higher education provides a driving force for educational innovation and economic development in every corner of our country. It has been proved that higher education takers find their earning capacity substantially enhanced as a result of their education.
