WHY IS EDUCATION IMPORTANT?

What is Education?

The word “educate” comes from the Latin word “educate” which means to bring up or to bring out. Same as the origin, education in literal form means educating people to bring the best out of them.

  Each man is brought into the world with specific inborn talents. These gifted talents are to be brought out and utilized. This leads a man from darkness to light, from an ignorant to a knowledgeable person.

What Does Education Give Us?

Education has its own moral importance in society. It improves our:

• Reasoning skills
• Working skills
• Curiosity
• Imagination
• Creativity
• Social behaviour
• Friendship skills
• Leadership skills

Difference Between An Educated And Uneducated Person:

An educated person and an uneducated person have many dissimilarities. We can observe this by just looking at them. The one who is educated is collective, conversant, skilful, and ready for anything.

Why Educate?

The aim of education is to gather abilities from a person that will prompt their professional and economical life. It is the gateway towards success. What education can give us is much more than what most people think.

  The most important thing that it can offer us is a happy life. Only well-educated people manage to lead a proper and stable life (unless you are born with an inborn talent). If one needs a brighter future, education is a must. An educated man will have the most career options.

  There is one more thing to be noted. Did you ever see an illiterate man being fooled or cheated? Compare that with the percentage of educated men getting scammed. There certainly should be a big difference. This is because many people take the advantage of uneducated citizens. They are trapped through signing fake documents and are also not aware of the way out if tricked once. So to avoid it, education is a must.

Mental Advantages of Education:

Education makes a man confident in society. An educated person can express his views and problems better. This has a better chance of being taken seriously by others. 

  Another important point is that education makes you more independent. You wouldn’t need help in most cases and can solve snags on your own. Also, you will be able to make decisions that ultimately make you more sensible.

Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan:

Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) is the Government of India’s flagship program for the achievement of Universalization of Elementary Education (UEE) in a time-bound manner, as mandated by the 86th amendment to the Constitution of India making free and compulsory Education to the Children of 6-14 years age group, a Fundamental Right.¹

  This mission has the main objective to get education for all. The objectives seek to bring a positive impact on curriculum, teacher education, educational planning, and management.²

Conclusion:

Education is one thing that makes you a better person in society and also teaches you many skills. Your self-esteem and self-respect are boosted, and you become a good individual. Education also enhances your abilities to do various tasks, which will come in extremely handy in the future.
