“Are Academic Qualifications Becoming Devalued?”

As more and more students enter universities, academic qualifications are becoming devalued.

==============================================================
I do agree that in the present scenario more degrees are needed to get ahead in professions. However I do not agree that because more number of students gets qualified, degrees are becoming devalued. Nor do I agree that there is anything undesirable in acquiring more number of degrees.

Increase in population gives rise to tough competition. And overall progress and advancement in technology and every sphere demands high qualification. Looking into Information Technology one has to have good degree and sound knowledge to keep pace with the time and progress.
Looking back in health monitoring and care, X-rays had its own limitation. To win over this limitation man invented Cat-Scan that can penetrate through bones and take picture and the problem can be pin pointed and made good. Likewise complete computerization is there in all businesses like railways, banking, airlines, communication, and media including aircraft and spacecraft movements. Similarly one could never imagine that a human can reach moon, walk over there and talk from there, stay there and safely return back to earth. This is not an ordinary thing that can be achieved with limited school education. Such adventures call for a very high education and degrees. Not to forget that “Survival is for the fittest”. In a way if more and more people acquire more number degrees they acquire higher qualification but the degrees in no way become devalued.

In conclusion with more progress and advancement, higher education and more degrees are required. Highly qualified professionals build a powerful nation. It is wrong to say that degrees get devalued or there is anything undesirable. ---------------------------------- (267 Words)
