What is Education-Always?

Education is not only cognitive and intellectual learning, and learning of skills and work-related competences. It is much broader to include moral and ethical issues, values, attitudes, religion, spiritualism, art and more. It is, indeed, important to focus on this when education in schools and universities has become a large “industry” and when the world, instead of becoming more peaceful, seems to be more confrontational than before.
Besides, we do know how to create positive educational content and learning situations so that peace and tolerance can prevail. Sadly, we don’t always do what we know is right and best. After the Malala Yousafzai tragedy, and the continuous drone attacks, wars and armed conflicts, affecting innocent people, we are yet again reminded that we must focus more on positive and peaceful learning.

Learning and socialisation take place in schools, but also in the society outside, in the home, with peers and friends, in the community, in front of TV and computer screens, and when we use social media. As a matter of fact, much of our general knowledge and life skills, and most values and attitudes are learnt outside the classroom. The power of peers and role models is immense because we all want to conform and be accepted amongst those we like most. Yet, the youth also question issues, are inquisitive and in opposition to adults and carriers of old truths. If the youth have support from parents, teachers and others they can develop their own independent and alternative thinking and ideas, and they can focus on things that are not commonly done in their community.

                                  Importance of Education

It is very easy to explain importance of education. No human beings are able to survive properly without education. By the means ofeducation only one’s potential can be used to maximum extent.Education tells men how to think, how to work properly, how to make decision. Through education only one can make separate identity. It is most important in life like our basic need foods, clothe and shelter. With the beginning we learnt how to interact with others, how to make friends because of education only. As I remember when my parents had enrolled my name in school not only I learnt the alphabets and numbers but also I made friends, interacted with them with teachers.
With further development you were faced with the sense of competition and desire and other such emotions and feelings, you also learnt to control these emotions and feelings. And also teaches how to act in different situations. Education is not just restricted to teaching a person the basic academics, say computers, mathematics, geography or history education is a much larger term.
If you want to find out the impact of education on any individuality, you better do an intense observation to the ways of well-educatedpeople and then compare them with an illiterate man. You would get a clear picture of the education and its accurate concept. Educationis one of the important factors which formulate the persona of a person. Education is a productive and beneficial factor in a person’s life. It is everyone’s right to get. The training of a human mind is notcomplete without education. Only because of education a man are able to receive information from the external humanity, to notify him with past and receive all essential information concerning the present.
