High-profit education

Until yesterday, the people here could defend themselves with ignorance, but after the mass arrest of the leaders of higher education institutions in both BiH entities, it is clear that the sale of diplomas is a highly profitable business and that it has protection in politics

Private higher education institutions in our country are primarily for-profit, and only then educational institutions.

Of course, those who want to study and work can also acquire prestigious knowledge at private colleges, I'm talking about purchased diplomas.

Politics has encouraged the opening of a huge number of private educational institutions. The ruling parties need formally educated people quickly, and that's why they themselves help the local educational criminal octopus, to employ their members as soon as possible, they will certainly not do anything.

This country has become a joke because of this, we are the biggest caricature of Europe. No one takes us seriously anymore.

Diplomas here are not recognized even by the first neighbors, and people wonder why.

Until yesterday, the people here could defend themselves with ignorance, but after the mass arrest of the leaders of higher education institutions in both BiH entities, it is clear that the sale of diplomas is a highly profitable business and that it has protection in politics.

The list of people working in the institutions of this overpriced country with purchased diplomas is huge, it cannot fit in the text.

Do you understand that through huge taxes, which are among the highest in the region, we pay people who falsely present themselves as experts.

The investigation revealed what everyone knows, that diplomas can be bought at private colleges and that there is a price list, an informal administration that covers it. This will bring down even the little regard for local diplomas, and of course the best will be used, which will be collateral damage of such a massive sample of people educated with invoiced diplomas.

Why are the public universities here increasingly empty? Well, why would someone who knows and knows how to finish university here, where his degree will certainly be less valuable than the one bought at a private university and someone from the party. I remind you, Milorad Dodik clearly said, addressing the youth of his party in Jahorina - Diplomas and skills are useless if you are not in the party.

This is exactly that model.

The public is not interested in this topic at all, it passes like any other important topic in a hand wave, or rather, it does not concern me, but in a few days it will be replaced by some national romanticism.

My good friend Refik Šećibović, one of the biggest education experts in the region, gave an interview to Buka six years ago, in which he commented on the state of education here at the very beginning. Here's what he said at the time: "Formally speaking, the situation is depressing and chaotic, with an accelerated tendency to the collapse of the institutional system of education, as the only model of access to the labor market and science. The crisis is deepening with a lack of ideas, that is, how to solve the connection of adequate evaluation of knowledge with social needs. The consequences are already visible, through the outflow of the best students to foreign universities, through empty domestic universities, institutional disparagement of the work of professors, tycoon pressures on academic freedom, crime and the sale of diplomas."

Loving a country is more than nationalism and flag-waving, quasi-patriotic farting. Loving the country means fighting for it every day, by doing, fighting, among other things, for better schooling and education, and that's not buying diplomas and collecting votes in schools and appointing politically eligible people at the head of school institutions, but learning from the best.

We have failed as a society, and we will continue to fail if we do not realize that we are accomplices every time we wave our hands, because this country may not interest you, but this is your country and it should be important to you.
