Education is a gift not only an opportunity. It is a gift, if not from parents, hopefully from the government. It’s an open opportunity that comes whenever you need it. It is sometimes the answer to a man’s never ending curiosity, but it also knows how to question.It encompasses a much wider understanding to only few to know what it means.You could never know what Education means unless you seek it until the end. Through education, skills and talents are unlocked. A lot of people value the essence of Education, and it’s important to know the reason why.
On today’s generation, people start to think that the purpose of Education is to make their goals easier to reach. But to think of it, it is not, simply because, Education teaches you to solve the complicated by letting you experience the simplest. It widens the vision of what we imagine the future would be. It is meant to dominate on the society’s function today. It earns its purpose everyday and never lost a point to a man’s thinking. It simply makes it easier for you to differentiate the ideal world from the real one. It brings about not only the concepts but also the core values that come within through the varied experiences that there exist. Education is the key for survival, indeed.
From each different country, comes a diverse art of learning. Some kids learn from books, while some learn through their experiences. As a matter of fact, not everybody can afford today’s cost of Education, but also not all students can afford to graduate attaining their career goals. There are certain struggles especially for the third world countries basically on their progression to the much advanced system of proper Education but it seems that financial adjustments are not the only thing that is involved but much more ahead of it. Going back to 1900s, the Education system has been much better, in a way that the students are forced to read books and study them since Technology was not yet overly used during that era. But reflecting back to the present age, studying has been much easier for the students, caused by the existence of Internet and upgraded gadgets usable for students. With the help of Technology, more scientists and more mathematicians are produced over the years, with less cost of effort but with more cost in hand. Even a small change on how the way things work could make a big impact to what learning does but the question is, will the people use it in the right way?
Relying to nearly half percentage of the annual graduates has attained their desired jobs, probably caused by decreasing quality of Education. Most have preferred practicality, which makes more sense on the way things are today. We are more in demand on true professional not just fresh graduates from their degrees. In the world that we live that responds to a higher standard, it’s becoming harder for us to find jobs. We must admit it; it’s easier to lose a grip onto something than to find strength to grip onto a new rope. Higher education is everyone’s demand but the thing is, it requires higher cost that most can’t afford. Even highly cost schools don’t guarantee a good future for anyone since the quality of education is not being judged on how much it cost, which most of us don’t see this kind of view. Lastly, the quality of Education is being suffered, caused by lack of experienced teachers since as of today, there are some standard schools that desperately needs teachers, and for that reason, they just intend to accept volunteers without knowing if they are capable to do the job.
Education is what people think, their greatest weapon to recurring social problems that we experience today. We might see Education as somewhat taken for granted but as we see its true value at the end, it’s more than what you think it can be. It takes eagerness and passion to earn its best and it would lead you to your worst once you lost fond of it. But as the world revolves, the people also evolve, as well as the government changes its sole purpose on its nation one by one; first, by taking Education as the object of Corruption. Abusing the children’s right to have proper Education is like torturing their future by hindering the greatest possibilities that they may obtain. There’s no need for any more questions on why Poverty continues to overgrow and why the less fortunate continues to protest and it’s because their freedom and their rights have been taken away from them. And that’s why Education is indeed, very much needed more than anything, because if we will alls be well-educated, no one will be a fool, because that’s the main purpose of Education, to let you understand what you do with what you have. Who doesn’t need Education? Everyone needs to know that without Education, there’ll be nothing else.
