Bayeka esikoleni esiphakeme noma bathathe ikhefu, bese bebuya. Bangakwazi ukusuka kwesinye isifundo baye kwesinye iminyaka ngaphambi kokuthola i-bachelor's noma i-master's degree. Ingabe abahlelekile noma bayavilapha njengoba abantu abaningi becabanga ngabo? Noma abahluliwe, njengoba bezicabangela bona? Kodwa ngokocwaningo lwakamuva, izinto azikacaci kangako.
Babizwa nangokuthi "abafundi abazulazulayo" noma "abafundi abahambayo". Babonakala bezulazula bezungeza umzimba wabafundi, bengabeki yonke into emgqeni - idiploma noma lutho. Bacasula umuntu. Othile uvusa uzwela ngisho nomona: “Abantu bayakwazi ukungakhathali futhi bazihlanganise ngokuthula nokuhluleka kwabo esikoleni.”
Kodwa ingabe banefilosofi ngempela mayelana nezivivinyo ezihlulekile nokuhlolwa? Kuyiqiniso yini ukuthi abanandaba nokuthi bafunda ngesivinini esifanayo noma cha? Uma ubhekene nesizinda ontanga abaphila impilo yomfundi ematasatasa, kunzima ukungazizwa njengomuntu ongaphumelelanga. Awangeni emqondweni ojwayelekile othi «Faster, Higher, Stronger» nhlobo.
Ucwaningo lwesikhathi eside lukhombisile ukuthi ukwenzeka kwabafundi okungapheli kunezimbangela eziningi. Enye yazo ukuthi akuwona wonke umuntu oseduze nomqondo wokuba ongcono kakhulu futhi olwela ukuphakama. Ngamunye wethu udinga esakhe isikhathi sokuqeqeshwa, asibalile. Wonke umuntu unejubane lakhe.
Ngaphezu kwesifiso sokuhlehlisa yonke into kuze kube kamuva, kukhona okunye okuhlangenwe nakho okuhambisana nokufunda isikhathi eside.
Ngokocwaningo olwenziwe yi-Federal Statistical Office (das Statistische Bundesamt - Destatis) ngesemester yasehlobo 2018, kukhona abafundi abangama-38 eJalimane abadinga amasemesta ayi-116 noma ngaphezulu ukuze baqedele iziqu zabo. Lokhu kubhekisela esikhathini esiphelele sokufunda, ngaphandle kwamaholide, ama-internship.
Izibalo ezitholwe uMnyango Wezokwazisa Nobuchwepheshe Bombuso eNorth Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), ngakolunye uhlangothi, zinikeza umbono wokuthi singaba sikhulu kangakanani isibalo salabo abadinga isikhathi esengeziwe semfundo kusukela lapho bengena esikoleni. Inyuvesi yaseJalimane, ibheka kuphela isemester yasenyuvesi.
Ngokohlaziyo olwenziwa nge-semester yasebusika ka-2016/2017, labo abadinga ama-semester angaphezu kwama-20 baphenduke abantu abangu-74. Lokhu cishe ku-123% wabo bonke abafundi esifundeni. Lezi zibalo zibonisa ukuthi isihloko sokufunda isikhathi eside asiyona nje into ehlukile emthethweni.
Ngaphezu kwesifiso sokuhlehlisa, kukhona okunye okuhlangenwe nakho okuhambisana nokufunda isikhathi eside.
Akubona ubuvila obanecala, kodwa ukuphila?
Mhlawumbe abanye bamane bangaziqedi izifundo zabo ngenxa yobuvila noma ngenxa yokuthi kulula kakhulu ukuba umfundi. Khona-ke banezaba zokungayi ezweni labadala nesonto layo lomsebenzi lamahora angu-40, imisebenzi yasehhovisi engajabulisi. Kodwa kunezinye, izizathu ezinamandla kakhulu zokufunda isikhathi eside.
Kwabanye imfundo iwumthwalo onzima wezezimali ophoqa abafundi ukuthi basebenze. Futhi umsebenzi ubambezela inqubo yokufunda. Ngenxa yalokhu kuvele ukuthi bafuna umsebenzi ukuze bafunde kodwa baphuthelwe ukufunda ngenxa yalokho.
Kungase futhi kube umthwalo ongokwengqondo, lapho umfundi ongene enyuvesi ethile engazi ngempela ukuthi ufunani. Abafundi abaningi bahlushwa ukucindezeleka okungapheli: akulula ukuba sezweni lomjaho ngaso sonke isikhathi. Ikakhulukazi uma abazali behlale bekhunjuzwa ukuthi kubiza malini ukufunda indodana noma indodakazi yabo enyuvesi.
Kwabanye, kunzima kakhulu "ukugaya" kangangokuthi ukunakekelwa kwezokwelapha kuyadingeka futhi baphoqeleka ukuyeka isikole. Ngokuvamile, ukucindezeleka, ukukhathazeka ngekusasa, mayelana nokuzinza kwezezimali kuholela ekucindezelekeni kwesikhathi eside.
Mhlawumbe umfundi waphakade uyangabaza indlela ekhethiwe yokufezeka kochwepheshe, izinhlelo zokuphila, isidingo semfundo ephakeme. Ifilosofi yokuphumelela ibonakala icikekile ngisho nangabantu abadume kabi abalwela ukuphelela kanye nabathanda imisebenzi. Mhlawumbe «umfundi ongunaphakade» unengqondo ngaphezu kwabafundi afunda nabo, egxile emiphumeleni.
Esikhundleni sokubhodloza idolo agijimele entanjeni ngazo zonke izindlela, uyavuma ukuthi kubaluleke kakhulu kuye ukuthi angashunqisi uthuli lwezincwadi emtatsheni wezincwadi ogcwele amanzi futhi azilungiselele izivivinyo ebusuku, kodwa kunalokho aphefumulele phezulu ndawana thize. ukuqwala isikhwama emhlane wakho.
Noma mhlawumbe uthando lwangenela enkambweni evamile yenqubo yemfundo? Futhi kubaluleke kakhulu ukuchitha impelasonto hhayi etafuleni nezincwadi zokufunda, kodwa ezingalweni nasenkampanini yothandekayo wakho.
"Yini eyakwenza waceba?"
Kuthiwani uma siyeka ukuphatha abafundi abanjalo “njengokukhubazeka kwengqondo” futhi sibone okungaphezu nje kochungechunge lwamaholide emfundo avinjelwe? Mhlawumbe umfundi ofunda naye wachitha ama-semesters ayishumi efunda ifilosofi ayithandayo, futhi ihlobo emzamweni ophumelelayo wokuthola imali eyengeziwe, wabe esechitha ama-semesters amane efunda umthetho.
Isikhathi esiphuthelwe ngokusemthethweni asichithwanga. Vele ubuze ukuthi kwakusho ukuthini kuye, ukuthi wenzeni nokuthi ufundeni phakathi nawo wonke la ma-semesters. Ngezinye izikhathi umuntu ongabazayo futhi azivumele ukuthi ame futhi athathe ikhefu uthola ulwazi olwengeziwe lokuphila kunothile owafunda iminyaka emine noma eyisithupha engayeki wabe esephonswa ngokushesha emakethe yezabasebenzi njengomdlwane emanzini.
"Umfundi waphakade" wakwazi ukuzwa impilo kanye namathuba ayo futhi, ngemva kokuqhubeka nezifundo zakhe, wakhetha isiqondiso kanye nefomu (isikhathi esigcwele, isikhathi esithile, esikude) ngokuqaphela.
Noma mhlawumbe wanquma ukuthi akayidingi imfundo ephakeme (okungenani okwamanje) futhi kungaba ngcono ukuthola uhlobo oluthile olukhethekile olusebenzayo ekolishi.
Yingakho manje eJalimane nakwamanye amazwe aseYurophu sekuyinsakavukela umchilo wesidwaba kubafundi abaphothula esikoleni nabazali babo ukuthatha ikhefu unyaka owodwa noma emibili ngaphambi kokuba indodana noma indodakazi yabo ingene esikhungweni semfundo ephakeme. Kwesinye isikhathi kuvela ukuthi kunenzuzo enkulu kunokuhlanganyela emjahweni wediploma.
