Learning is not a race for certificates, researcher says

Nursing doctoral researcher Hussein Al-Safran has said that learning is not a race to collect certificates, emphasizing that its true value lies in its impact on thinking, performance, and problem-solving abilities.

Speaking in a phone interview with Al-Ikhbariya Radio, Al-Safran added that while certificates prove one’s learning, it is the impact that demonstrates its real value. "I should be able to turn what I have learned into something that benefits others," he said.

Al-Safran further explained, "I believe that continuous learning is important, but it should not become a competition for certificates." He noted that knowledge is a means to an end, and over time, he has come to feel that the most rewarding result of learning is not the certificate itself, but the moment you realize that something you learned has helped provide a solution or serve another person.
