As life progresses the demands in education are getting higher a higher. However one can question if this is ethical due to the fact that knowledge is judged by others whose knowledge may never got changed. One could look back in time and question where knowledge originated from? There was genius that needed not university certification to proof been knowledgeable. When some of us may need to consider guidance within the educational system, other with innovative minds would bring new answers. It is normally these who have natural intelligence that find harder to adapt to the academic rules organized by Social and Educational systems. Only these following rules are welcome to function within the system of education. One can not differ with the organized curriculum, no matter how defective. It is proven that presently in many countries, there is shortest of educators, it due to the unrealistic demands that established, "one must have experience" to have opportunity to gain employment. Indeed with not given the opportunity to attain the working experienced.

When, there is a need for new curriculums and preparation over how to go about the new technological ways that we have developed, education should not be only measured by a paper certification neither but the number of years a person has studied. It should not be compulsory in terms educators been forced to obtain a new certification that demands two extra years of study. It is expected that confident educators, will resist undergoing a two -year internships leading to an MA certification. The need for extra time and the financial family pressure, will condition many others too to see as realistic this extra pressure upon their lives.

It is said that practice makes people masters! Lets employ the newly university graduated, instead of re-educating the already knowledgeable educator who is bound to know better and will find hard to consider new norms to the knowledge already mastered from him.

It seems to me that when knowledge is always useful, the resentment in this situation will be to consider that current experienced educators whose capacity to teach is good but their memory to new examinations defective, could be put at risk in their current positions if this requirement becomes compulsory. Indeed, me memory and intelligence are not the same thing, but now days, is well know that robots must tell people what to do! Certainly my answer is NO! I would like hearing from you if this topic is challenging you or my opinion to the topic does. Thanks.
