　　雅思大作文题目：Education: Losing Its Value

　　雅思大作文范文：

　　Today, more and more people are attending thirdlevel education, and many go on to post-graduatedegrees. People specialize in subjects that were notdreamed of a century ago. However, the result hasnot been an increase in real knowledge, but acheapening of education. In this essay I will discusshow education has become devalued.

　　Education is now something that can bepurchased. Like a powerful new car or an architect-designed house, a degree or a post-graduate degreehas become a luxury that everyone wants. But when everybody has something, that thingbecomes worthless. Gold is sought after because it is expensive and hard to find, but ifeverybody changed their attitude to gold, its value would drop.

　　In the same way, education, like the currency of a bankrupt country, is becoming devaluedas more people have degrees. It takes ever-higher qualifications to get a job. Once a degree-holder was respected and listened to. Now he or she is just another job-seeker or employee.

　　One effect of the rush towards degrees is that knowledge becomes less important. Otherfactors, such as influence, are more central in getting a job or a promotion when everyone hasa qualification. A further point is that people lose respect for themselves. Since everybody hasa degree, even degree-holders feel that what they have is almost worthless. More seriously,the pressure to have degrees results in a drop in quality. When thousands of people study ina college, the professors cannot possibly maintain standards. Furthermore, we need to questionwhether advanced education is suitable for everyone. Does our entire population really needto spend years in school and college just to do fairly simple jobs?

　　In conclusion, there are many negative aspects to the increased emphasis onqualifications. If we want to maintain the value of education, we need to examine the emphasiswe put on degrees.
