Mosiyana ndi anthu ena ambiri, ambiri osaphunzira sawona kuti kuloledwa kukoleji, kapena kumaliza maphunziro awo kukoleji, kapena masukulu apamwamba kukoleji, kungakhale mulingo wopambana m'moyo. Ifenso sititero. Chomwe timaganizira kwambiri pofunsa za koleji mu phunziroli chinali kungodziwa za zokumana nazo za iwo omwe, pazifukwa zilizonse, adasankha kupita kukoleji. Mafunso awa ali ndi zovuta zina, chifukwa ambiri omwe sangakwanitse kuphunzira sangafune kutenga njira yophunzirira ngati ikuletsa kuthekera kwa koleji ndipo chifukwa chake kuthekera kwa ntchito zomwe, lero, zochulukirapo zimafunikira koleji ngati mwala wopondera.

Kuti tidziwe zomwe adakumana nazo kukoleji, tidafunsa otsatirawa ngati Funso 5 la kafukufukuyu: " Chonde fotokozani mwachidule maphunziro aliwonse apamwamba omwe mwakumana nawo, monga koleji / koleji / ndi sukulu yomaliza maphunziro. Kodi unalowa bwanji kukoleji popanda kukhala ndi dipuloma ya sekondale? Kodi mudasintha bwanji kuchoka kusukulu mpaka kulembetsa nawo maphunziro apamwamba? Chonde lembani madigiri omwe mwalandira kapena madigiri omwe mukugwirako ntchito pano. ”

Munkhani zotsatirazi ndimagwiritsa ntchito mawuwa sukulu kutanthauza kupezeka kusukulu yakunyumba, maphunziro apanyumba kunena za maphunziro apanyumba omwe amayang'aniridwa kapena kutsatiridwa ndi kholo, ndipo osaphunzira kunena momwe ana samatumizidwira kusukulu ndipo sanaphunzitsidwe kunyumba (potanthauzira chomwe chaperekedwa kumene). M'malo ena, komanso mwalamulo, kusaphunzira kusukulu kumawerengedwa kuti ndi gawo la maphunziro apanyumba-ndipo m'mawu ena omwe ali pansipa, omwe adafunsidwa amagwiritsa ntchito mawu oti "kusukulu yakunyumba" ngati ambulera yomwe imaphatikizapo kusaphunzira - koma kuti ndimveke bwino ndimagwiritsa ntchito mawu oti kusukulu yakunyumba, apa, m'njira yocheperako yomwe sikuphatikizapo kusukulu. Apanso, kuti mumve zambiri tanthauzo la kusaphunzira, cholinga cha phunziroli, yang'anani kumbuyo kumbuyo.

Monga tawonera m'mbuyomu, 62 (83%) mwa ophunzira 75 omwe sanapite kusukulu omwe adayankha kafukufuku wathu adapitiliza maphunziro ena apamwamba, ndipo 33 (44%) adamaliza digiri yoyamba kapena kupitilira apo kapena anali okwanira- ophunzira mu pulogalamu ya bachelor. Ena 29 omwe adachita maphunziro apamwamba nthawi zambiri amatero kuti apeze chidziwitso kapena laisensi yokhudzana ndi chidwi chawo pantchito, yomwe sanafunikire digiri yoyamba. Komanso monga tawonera m'mbuyomu, mwayi wopitiliza digiri yoyamba unali wofanana kwambiri ndi kuchuluka kwa maphunziro am'mbuyomu: Makumi asanu ndi anayi mphambu asanu ndi atatu mwa anthu omwe sanaphunzire anali atachita digiri yoyamba poyerekeza ndi 44% ndi 29%, motsatana, m'magulu ena awiriwo (yang'anani kumbuyo m'mbuyomu kuti mumve zambiri).

Gulu lomwe silinaphunzirepo nthawi zonse silinangokhala ndi kuchuluka kwakukulu komwe amapita ku digiri ya bachelor, komanso kuchuluka kwakukulu komwe sanapite ku maphunziro aliwonse apamwamba. Zowonadi, mwa omwe adayankha 24 mgululi, 14 adachita digiri ya bachelor ndipo 6 sanachite maphunziro aliwonse apamwamba. Otsatirawa nthawi zambiri ankanena kuti sanafunikire maphunziro apamwamba kuti aphunzire zomwe akufuna kudziwa kapena kuchita ntchito zomwe asankha. Mwachitsanzo, wina analemba kuti, “Ndapitiliza kupita kusukulu mpaka kukhala wamkulu ndipo ndidzapitiliza moyo wanga wonse. Ndikuganiza kuti kuphunzira ntchito zamaphunziro ndi kuphunzira ntchito kutangokhala kuwonjezera kwachilengedwe kwa kusaphunzira kuntchito kwachikhalidwe. Ngati nditayamba kuchita chidwi ndi ntchito yomwe ikuwoneka ngati koleji ingathandize, ndingayang'ane maphunziro akewo - koma ndimawaona ngati gawo laulendo wopita kusukulu, zomwe kwa ine zimangotanthauza kutsatira chidwi kulikonse komwe chikupita. ” Wina anangonena kuti, "Ndili wamkulu, ndazindikira kuti kusaphunzira kwandithandiza kuti koleji siyofunikira kuti ndikhale ndi moyo wopambana, wokhutira".

Ndidanenanso muzolemba zam'mbuyomu kuti njira yodziwika kwambiri yolandirira digiri ya digiri, kwa omwe tidafunsidwa, inali yophunzira maphunziro aku koleji - makamaka kuyambira zaka 16 - kenako ndikugwiritsa ntchito zolembedwazo kuti alowe kukoleji. Makumi awiri ndi mmodzi mwa anthu 33 aja adatenga njira imeneyo. Ambiri amapita kukoleji popanda dipuloma ya sekondale, koma asanu ndi awiri adanena kuti alandila GED poyesa mayeso oyenera ndipo atatu adati alandila dipuloma kudzera pa intaneti.

Ambiri mwa omwe anafunsidwa omwe amapita kukoleji sananene kuti panali zovuta kuchita maphunziro. Zowonadi, ambiri amati anali ndi mwayi wamaphunziro, makamaka chifukwa chodzipereka kwambiri komanso kuthekera kodziyimira pawokha, kudziwongolera, komanso kudziletsa.

Njira yabwino yofotokozera zomwe ophunzirawo adakumana nazo ndi kudzera m'mawu awoawo. Zina zonse za positiyi ndizotenga mawu ochokera kufukufukuwo. Ndemanga ndizosankhidwa, koma zikuyimira zitsanzo zonse, kupatula awiri omwe adalongosola zovuta ndi kusaphunzira kwawo komanso kuchita maphunziro apamwamba ndipo zomwe akambirana m'nkhani yachinayi mndandandawu. Mitu yomwe idatuluka pachitsanzo chonse ndi iyi: (1) Kulowa kukoleji sikunali kovuta makamaka kwa osaphunzira; (2) Kusintha kwamaphunziro ku koleji nthawi zambiri kunali kosavuta kwa iwo; (3) Ambiri amadzimva kuti ali ndi mwayi chifukwa chodzilimbikitsa kwambiri komanso kutha kudzitsogolera; ndipo (4) Madandaulo omwe anali pafupipafupi kwambiri anali zakusowa kwa chidwi ndi chidwi pakati pa anzawo omwe amaphunzira nawo kukoleji, moyo woponderezedwa ku koleji, ndipo, nthawi zina, zopinga zomwe zimayikidwa pamaphunziro kapena magwiridwe antchito.

Kuti ndisasunge kudziwika kwa omwe adafunsidwa, ndazindikira aliyense mwa amuna kapena akazi okhaokha, zaka zakubadwa panthawi yolemba mafunso, komanso momwe munthuyo sanaphunzirire. Ndachotsanso zidziwitso zomwe zitha kuzindikiridwa pamakalatawo, makamaka mayina am'makoleji omwe adapezekapo. Kuwonjezeka kwa azimayi pazitsanzo zomwe zili pansipa kukuwonetsa kuchuluka kwa azimayi poyerekeza ndi amuna omwe adayankha kafukufuku wathu (onani positi). Ndasankha ogwidwa mawu makamaka pakati pa iwo omwe sanaphunzire kwambiri kapena sanapite kusukulu asanapite kukoleji, ndipo ndawalamula mwanjira yoti iwo omwe alibe maphunziro a K-12 kapena oyambira kunyumba akhale oyamba.

Zaka 20, palibe sukulu ya K-12 kapena maphunziro apanyumba. Mayi uyu, ali ndi zaka 20, anali atalandira kale digiri ya BA ndipo anali atapeza ntchito, yabwino kwa iye, pakupanga zisudzo.
