Higher Education & Religion

[Fidel_Castronaut]

I think religion is afraid of education per se.

It's not a coincidence that religions tend to flourish in poorer communities than more affluent ones where education tends to be better.

That said, there is a slither of truth to the Jovo pahmphlet. HE in more recent times doesn't furnish students with a grasp of the reality they will be confronted with once they've graduated, especially if they're not a vocational degree (engineering, medicine etc). As universities have become more akin to businesses there's an emphasis in churning out any old degree just so long as the tuition fees are paid into the university coffers.

But that's another debate, and it's laughable that such a bizarre sect of Christianity like the Jovo's think they're better placed than the personal enrichment that can be attained through studying to advanced levels in subjects one enjoys.
