What is Education for you?

Tweet

Education is the most powerful weapon. It is the delivery of knowledge, skills, and information from teachers to students. It means acquiring knowledge by learning. We can use it change the world. A very important question arises that how do we learn. We learn from our day to day experiences. Providing a proper definition of education is complicated by the fact that there is not a clear consensus about what is important about being and becoming educated. Yes, it is necessary to study books but not enough to live a meaningful and valuable life. We simply read our books get good marks but what about our moral and ethical values? That is missing in today’s students. They can't even distinguish what is wrong and what is right. What kind of education are they getting? For many people, the importance of education lies in future job prospects, while for others, it's quality of citizenship, and yet others just want literacy, critical thinking, and/or creativity. Behind all the differences of opinion about what it means to be educated is one very basic idea: an educated person is someone who perceives accurately, thinks clearly, and acts effectively on self-selected goals.
