More often than not I have seen Senior Enlisted refuse to obtain a higher education. In my opinion this leads to a lack of vocabulary and often confusion. Should we not expect our Senior NCOs to be on the same level as our Officer counterparts? What is the solution to this problem? This can be resolved at both the unit level as well as our Professional Military Education System by fostering an environment for learning and encouraging our Soldiers to achieve higher education. That means we as leaders must also seek out higher education for those that have not already done so to set the example.

Absolutely right! While we can only encourage our senior leaders to seek higher education I think it should factor into promotion scoring. This should separate those seeking to be better leader in this regard from those who are content where they are. It should also be reflected in their performance reports. If you are not continuously advancing your degree or seeking the next one then you should NOT have a perfect review score.

I will disagree on the value of higher education vs being a good leader. One has nothing to do with the other. Either you have it in you to be a good leader or you don't. In short, you're either all about completing the mission, meeting/exceeding standards and honestly caring about and taking care of your troops or you don't. Higher education has no bearing on that whatsoever.
I'm not saying do not seek education but I saw too many people get promoted because they had higher points just because of college but yet they were sad examples of "leaders". They were all about themselves and screw the troops. They were great examples of what not to be.
Should higher education be a factor? Yes. But I think that military leadership schools and your performance there should have more weight than civilian college. A degree in business management doesn't help much when there's convoy missions to run and said degree holder refuses to man up and take on a leadership role and lead from the front but yet some of us, with no college, were the ones constantly looked to, and put in, convoy commander positions because we could/can actually lead.
No MSgt, "higher education" doesn't always mean you're the best person for the job. Being a true leader comes from within not from the classroom.
