Education plays a very significant role in moulding values, developing talents and intelligence of every individual. But what if one lacks the opportunity to a proper learning?
What will happen to this being that depends only to sustainable education?
The fundamental purpose of education is to gain knowledge, inculcate the forms of virtues and conducts and acquiring proficiency. It gives us the knowledge of the world around us – knowledge of putting one’s potentials to its maximum use. It helps us build opinions and have point of views on everything in life.
It spells out the difference between the ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ and helps instill virtues in every mind. It teaches us the right behaviour, the good manners thus making us civilized. It discovers and improves our potentials for the attainment of success so that we can contribute to a common good in the society. The training of a human mind is not complete without education. Through this, a man becomes a right thinker and a good decision maker.
Education serves as protection against different forces that surrounds us – forces of wrong beliefs in our mind, confusion, ignorance and irresponsibility that can lead them to the nastiest effect of poverty. I think it is not an exaggeration to say that an existence of a man is fruitless without education. It is through proper learning that we can transform this worst outcome into a comfortable way of living. Yes, it’s true that an educated person has the ability to change the world when he is filled with confidence and as assured of making right moves.
Our productivity is increased by acquiring new skills and talents through education. We find ourselves in the most competitive jobs, courtesy of right training and education. But a person lacking the opportunity to have this is the most likely a person with no assurance of a good future. What a sad part of being uneducated because only those with proper education have doors to open brilliant opportunities. In today’s world, competitions are all over, most of the jobs require expertise in the field. Moreover, uneducated persons become aware of their rights as a citizen of his country. Besides, he wouldn’t know the right and wrong choices when it comes to decision making, but a person with a proper learning can take right decisions and know how to prevent failures and losses.
Education cultivates us into mature individuals who are capable of planning for our futures and who are capable of being a better citizen. The future of a nation is safe and sound in the hands of educated individuals. Economic growth of a nation lies individually in its inhabitant. In such case, education can be considered as the backbone of each society.
Education can lead us to enlightenment. It is the key that allows us to take confidently the challenges of the world, seek out for better jobs with better salaries, and succeed fully in life. Education is very essential, and no one should be deprived of it.
