Importance of Education
Education is a process that involves the transfer of knowledge, habits and skills from one
generation to another through teaching, research and training. It can be in a formal or informal
setting. Formal education involves institutionalized learning based on a curriculum. In today’s
society, education and learning play an indispensable role in shaping the lives of individuals and
the society at large. The most effective way of boosting economic growth, reducing poverty and
improving people’s health is by investing in education.
Human labour is essential for economic growth. A highly educated labour force further
stimulates economic growth. Additionally, a highly educated labour force can easily adapt to new
working environments and conditions. In view of that, it is evident that education serves as the
driving force for innovation of new products and services. Educated workers exchange ideas in
the work place and come up with new ideas that help in the growth of the economy.
Education reduces poverty in a number of ways. One way is by creating employment
opportunities for educated people. Through employment, one is able to afford a decent living.
Education helps to increase economic security, create income opportunities and improve
livelihoods of the economical disadvantaged by providing sustainable environmental
management mechanisms. Education further alleviates poverty through skills acquired in the
learning process. Skills such as carpentry, plumbing and masonry are relevant in non-formal
economies. One can acquire these skills through technical and vocational training.
Educated people are health conscious and live longer than their counterparts because they engage
in healthy habits such as eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly and going for medical check
ups. By investing in education, one will also be investing in their health. Education serves to
create room for technological advancements in the field of medicine and agriculture. Advanced
technology used for conducting surgery has replaced traditional methods. This has seen an
improvement in people’s general health and an increased life expectancy. Most developing
countries have a low life expectancy compared to developed countries. This can be attributed to
high illiteracy levels present in developing countries. This translates to poor health and poor
eating habits.
In conclusion, education is the only means of alleviating poverty, improving people’s health and
increasing economic growth. Improving literacy levels in marginalised societies will go a long
way in improving human living standards.
Education is as important as the air we breathe. It is the most important possession
a person must have. Education is beneficial in many aspect of life especially,
personal and social it is the only possession that cannot be taken away from you.
Education is important because it will open up the windows of opportunities. In this
competitive world having a good education is as important as the air we breathe
because it is our weapon to conquer the world.
Education will help you grow as an individual because the more knowledge you
have the better understanding you will have in any given problem that will come
your way. It will give you self satisfaction and will boost your self confidence. As an
individual I know it will help me in a lot of aspects in my life. It will give me a
financial stability because I will be able to land a good job and a high paying salary. I
will learn how to spend my money and will learn how to invest it wisely. The more
education I have the more respect and acknowledgement I will get from people.
Knowledge is really important that is why we need to take it seriously. It is the
strong weapon you can have to conquer this complex world. If you have a good
education nobody can fool you and you will not tolerate any mistreatment from
people. It will give you a better views in life if you are well educated.
In the social aspect of my life education will give me a better understanding on how
to communicate to people effectively. I will understand what is happening around
me. For example voting, I will have enough knowledge to carefully choose the
candidate I will vote for. I will know what to consider in choosing the right candidate
to serve and protect our country. I will be able to understand the social issues that
our country is facing and will be capable to help in my own little way. However, it is
apparent in this competitive world that most of the successful person have the
proper education especially the higher position in society they have proved that
education will give you the edge in life.
Education is very important especially in today’s society. It gives you the windows of
opportunities and to pursue your dream. It will not only make you a better person
but it will also give you a better life. I believe that education should be taken
seriously because it is our only weapon to conquer the world. World will be a better
place if people are well educated.
Education is one of the main components of a country`s development because education is the
main way that gives people the ability to think and develop. Most of the developing countries
have educational problems
In Egypt, the educational problem takes many forms. For example, graduate students always face
unemployment as their educational skills do not qualify them to work in high jobs. Also some
students get to the end of the primary stage, and they are not able to write their names. Many
students in the stage of secondary school have a way of reading and writing that is not
appropriate..
The first step to develop education is to know the causes of the educational problem. In Egypt,
the educational issue reasons are the ineffective ways of teaching, the poor infrastructures of
schools and the unqualified teachers.
One of the main reasons of the educational problem in Egypt is the ways of educating students
the curriculum. They are dysfunctional because they depend mainly on memorizing, studying for
exams only and ignoring students` activities. According to Bill Beattie, "The aim of education
should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think - rather to improve our minds, so as
to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with thoughts of other men."
Unfortunately, the educational system in Egypt requires students to memorize their curriculum
well without understanding or giving opinions about that material.
Hence, Egypt has to reform its educational system in order to develop. Developing education is a
complex process as it occurs through many steps, and it requires many effortsdr
Students are taught what they should know and do, but they have never been taught how to think
and create. According to Dr. Mohamed Aboulghar, professor in the Faculty of Medicine, Cairo
University, one of the most valuable outcomes of university education is to encourage students to
become self-confident and creative. It shoul
