Importance Of Education
If we ask a person about importance of education nowadays, while a layman may not be quick to come up with a satisfactory answer, a learned person will surely be quick to opine, without ponderance, ‘Education is an important component of life because it is a self-enlightening process'. Obviously it is always better and desirable to know more about the importance of both education and the places where education is effectively and systematically imparted.
When I started thinking about ‘why education is so important' I remembered my school years, the grounding years of anyone's education. I went down memory lane to remember all my teachers, my school subjects, the study and the play. I never really hated school. But I have seen many who initially hated going schools and kept on repenting later on. I have had some friends who did not like the idea of studying in classrooms. Many of us must have unwillingly entered our school gates. But all of us know that this dislike never lasts long. We soon start loving school and it is when it is time to leave school that we are in tears.
One may enquire ‘What is school life all about'? It is all about laying the foundation of our education. School is a place to understand why education is so important and how important a school is! It is an institution, where we learn to read and write. School transforms kids into literate individuals. It is where we get our basics introduced and at the point of leaving school, we are all set to soar high in life, enter the new world in pursuit of our dreams.
The first thing that strikes me about education is knowledge gain. Education gives us the knowledge of the world around us. It develops in us a perspective of looking at life. It helps us build opinions and have points of view on everything in life. People debate over the subject of whether education is the only thing that gives knowledge. Some say, education is the process of gaining information about the surrounding world while knowledge is something very different. They are partly right. But the conversion of information to knowledge is possible because of education. Education makes us capable of interpreting rightly the things perceived. Education is not about lessons and poems in textbooks. It is about the lessons of life.
The words 'cultivate' and 'civilize' are almost synonymous to the word 'educate'. Education is important as it teaches us the right behavior, the good manners thus making us civilized. It teaches us how to lead our lives. Education is the basis of culture and civilization. It is instrumental in the development of our values and virtues. Education cultivates us into mature individuals, individuals capable of planning for our future and taking the right decisions. Education arms us with an insight to look at our lives and learn from every experience. It has rightly been said that the future of a nation is safe in the hands of its educated individuals. Education is not only important for the economic growth of a nation but also it fosters principles of equality and socialism. Education forms a support system for talents to excel in life. In reality it is the backbone of the society.
Education is important because it equips us with all that is needed to make our dreams come true. Education opens doors of brilliant career opportunities. It fetches better prospects in career and growth. Every employer of today requires his/her prospective employees to be well educated. He/she requires expertise. So, education becomes an eligibility criterion for employment into any sector of the industry. We are rewarded for exercising the expertise required for the field we venture. We are weighed in the market on the basis of our educational skills and how well we can apply them.
Education is essential as it paves the path leading to disillusionment. It wipes out all the wrong beliefs in our minds. It helps create a clear picture of everything around us and we no more remain in confusion about the things we learn. Education brings up questions and also devises ways to find satisfactory answers to them. Education is about knowing that everything has a science to it, it is about learning to reason everything till every question meets its answer. Education can lead us to enlightenment. It is education that builds in every individual, a confidence to take decisions, to face life and to accept successes and failures. It instills a sense of pride about the knowledge one has and prepares him/her for life.
Schools and colleges define the basic framework of education. Schooling gives us the fundamentals whereas we specialize in fields of our interest, during the degree courses. But education does not end here. It is a lifelong process. Self-learning begins at the point that marks the end of institutional education. The process of self-learning continues.
