Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits. Today earning money has become the only purpose of education and we really don't care about. So the question is, what really are the aims of education? Let me keep it real simple for this one,
- Education gives us the ability to differentiate between what is right and wrong, what is immoral and moral & what is just and unjust.
- Education gives a person hope to solve the problems humanity faces today.
- Education gives you the power to question anything wrong.
- Education helps you learn the right way to execute yourself and behave positively.
- Education helps you find the truth and it forces you to think in different aspects.
- Proper education removes ill beliefs.
- It makes you more aware and confident.
The aim/purpose of education is to grow children into productive citizens that use their knowledge, talents, and learned skills to sustain themselves and help others while pushing the human race forward in areas of equality, equity, and harmony. So before going to educate your children or sending your children for schooling, let them know it all. Otherwise I am afraid that we are going to have a human race of empty head of no humanity and imagination. Because...
