Importance of education
Education Opens Our Minds
The
importance
of
receiving
education
in our
lives
cannot
be
doubted. Education opens
up
our
minds
and
makes
us
broadminded.
There
is
no
better
time
than
the
present
to
understand
this.
Gobalization has transformed the world into one big village. It is possible for us to know about the
different cultures or events taking place at the other end of the world today. All this has been made
possible due to education. Education has broadened our minds, so that we are not confined to our
countries
and
comfort
zones
anymore.
We
aren't
trapped
in
our
small
worlds,
instead
we
have
come out of our shells and begun to explore and learn new things. Learning about new things and
different cultures not only adds to our literacy bank but also instills in us humane qualities. For
example if we see that a society in some other part of the world has accepted HIV patients and
begun
to
work
for
them,
then
we
might
also
begin
to
do
the
same.
Maybe
we
had
resorted
to
shunning them earlier but education can change our thought processes for the better. It therefore
helps in making us more tolerant and accepting.

Forms the Basis of Society
Education forms the basis of any society. It is responsible for the economic, social, and political
growth
and
development
of
society
in
general.
Education
imparts
knowledge
whereby
making
discoveries and implementing them for the betterment of the society becomes possible. The thread
of the growth of society depends upon the quality of education that is being imparted. The better
the
quality,
the
better
people
can
learn
and
utilize
it
to
make
reforms
that
lead
to
research
and
development.

Education for Children
The importance of taking education as a concept needs to be instilled in children from an early age.
Education does not simply mean bookish knowledge or learning things by rote but holds a much
deeper meaning. It means opening your minds to learn new things and pursue different options.
Opting for higher education provides one with a clearer vision and makes one more receptive to
change. It makes a person rational with an ability to think and question. And these are the basis on
which reforms are made.

Education also provides opportunities to interact with people from different walks of life. It leads
to
better
understanding
and
an
exposure
of
how
the
world
lives
and
thinks.
It
is
our
duty
to
inculcate
the
importance
of
education
in
children.
They
should
be
made
aware
that
the
list
of
degrees that tail an individual's name does not mean that one is educated. It holds a much wider
perspective.
Education
means
to
go
beyond
the
degrees
and
continue
to
achieve
by
acquiring
knowledge.
In
the
real
sense,
education
means
to
evolve
from
being
an
individual
to
a
human
being, capable of not merely 'surviving' but living life.

The importance of education goes beyond the concept of being literate. It goes much deeper, in
denoting a way of life and thinking. Education today has become synonymous (rightly so) with
being a well-informed, thinking person.



Importance of Education to Youths
Youth is that phase of life when you dream big, hope for only the best to happen to you and look
forward
to
a
bright
tomorrow.
It
is
that
phase
when
nothing
seems
impossible;
you
want
to
be
successful and you believe you will. You feel you know exactly what you want from life and you
believe you will get it. During these years, life looks bright and beautiful. You feel you can win the
world. It's an important phase in your life - youth - when you turn into someone different. Turning
from
a
child
to
an
adult
is
a
transition
-
a
big
transition.
There's
added
confidence,
added
responsibility, there's growth, there's life - a new life. It's when you begin to understand yourself,
discover your potential, know when opportunities knock your door and dream of only success. It's
the time to
reinvent
yourself and
redesign
your personality. And that's where education has a big
role to play.
Education
is
the
best
tool
to
bring
a
positive
change
in
society,
to
develop
a
generation
of
responsible
individuals
and
contribute
to
the
development
of
good
human
beings.
The
fundamental purpose of education is to gain knowledge, understand the forms of proper conduct
and acquire technical competency in specific subject(s). Education serves as the means to develop
oneself physically, mentally and socially. Here's how education makes a difference in one's life.

Gives them Wings
: The importance of education manifests itself in the need to cultivate youths to
become mature individuals. Youth is the growing stage of their lives. It is during these years that
they develop from kids to become mature and responsible individuals. It is during this phase that
they make career decisions and begin pursuing their goals.

Tells them Where to Fly
: Education should consist of training and development in their field(s) of
interest. It should help the youths define their career objectives, decide what they want from life
and enable them to achieve what they wish to. Education to youths must aim at helping them build
a skill set and work on the skills acquired to develop subject expertise. It should include courses
that can help them develop
a career. The education should open doors for new opportunities in
different fields. It should help the youths find avenues to pursue their interests. It should enable
them to venture into new fields and explore new areas. Education must help them set reachable
goals and realize them.

Makes
them
Socially
Aware
:
It
is
important
that
education
to
youths
aims
at
developing
social
awareness
in
these
adults-to-be.
The
training
given
to
them
should
consist
of
environmental
education and social values. They should be made aware of the current social and environmental
issues.
They
should
be
explained
the
steps
they
can
take
in
dealing
with
the
issues.
Education
should
expose
the
youths
even
to
the
darker
side
of
society;
the
problems
that
eclipse
it,
the
prejudices that shackle it and the superstitions that blind it. Youths should be encouraged to come
up with ideas and devise ways to better the society that they are part of.

Makes
them
Self-Aware
:
Overpopulation,
unwanted
pregnancy,
sexually
transmitted
diseases,
abortions, unprotected sex and teenage pregnancy are some areas of growing concern today. The
reason - lack of sex education. Incomplete knowledge in this regard or wrong notions about sex
