# First of all what is education?

Education is very important as it  has many benefits and plays an important role in a person's life. It is valuable for any person who hopes to improve their professional or personal life in all aspects.

 It is the process or art of imparting knowledge, skill and judgment.

Education, when we look beyond its conventional limits, is the essence of all our actions. What we do is what we know and have learned, either through instruction or through observation ,assimilation and repeatision .

> The mind certainly, always has the potential to learn more, but we cease to broaden the horizons of our knowledge with doubts about ourselves or other social, emotional or economic limitations.
While most view education as a necessity, they tend to use it as a tool to achieve a particular goal or brand. After that, it is no longer necessary to seek more education. However, the importance of education in society is indispensable and coherent, so that society and knowledge can not be divided into two distinct units. Let us know more about the role of education in society and how it affects our lives.

# OBJECTIVE AND IMPACT OF EDUCATION IN OUR  SOCIETY

* **Personal Growth**
Once you are educated it gives you a kind of super power and increased self esteem especially when you find your self in developed areas and with sharp minded people. You need not keep quite when they speak and you do speak, you can defend your sentences with  facts you have either been taught or experienced . 
You develop a higher sense of belonging and confidence.

* **Education is truly empowerment**

Getting a good education helps to strengthen  and make you strong enough to take care of yourself anf others in certain situatios.  You will be more conscious about what is happening around you and the  society in which you live. 
Only through knowledge can you question a figure of authority for negligence or discrepancies or abuse , as you have known your full rights and limitations. And then can you assert your rights as a citizen and seek to improve the structural functioning of governance and the economy. "Only when a citizen knows the politics of his government can he support the change or protest against it". It helps you to develop latent talent so that you can improve your skills.

 So basically : education let's you realise what's wrong and what and when to do somethingabout it before it's too late.

* **Education rules the world**

Actors, musicians, artists, pianists , rock stars, food companies, hospitals all depend on their own specific  technology that all started as a result of aquiring knowledge (education).
Directly or not , this world has come to depend on science and technology created by great minds, all which started as getting a basic education at first.

* **Financial stability and dignity of life**

Another important role of education is that it helps you gain enough academic qualifications to get a suitable job than the manual/unskilled labor under-educated people are usually being forced to do.  Decent work would be combined with a salary  that allows you to take on hightened  personal expenses. This is definitely something that we need to consider especially for one's children.
> _Now i am not saying being uneducated means you are doomed for life. But after combining skills, talent and natural wisdom , having a good education is like adding icing on top of that well baked cake. And we all know a cake without icing always seems a bit odd /lacking. Plus it increases your chances in future especially with the world moving towards the crypto and cyber age deeper and deeper everyday_

* **Increased Foresight and Planning Skills**

A person with a good education would most likely have been exposed to tons of critical thinking scenerios that has trained the mind to respond more swiftly to brain tasks in the work place. And this comes in handy when going for interviews in some companies with special requirement for high thinking capacities .

* **The Jobseeker vs Job provider**

There will come a time when you will not feel like working as someone else's employee. You would want to take control of your own life and income, to bring your ideas to life. You will find out that people would be reluctant to come to a person who just depends on his/ her wits than having a formal education and knowing exactly what he/she is doing especially in the aspect of food /health. Also to get established might be a problem as the authorities would need to be very very sure you know what you are doing, that is if they permit it at all.

* **An inactive mind is the devil's workshop**

Regular education and study gives people of all ages something substantial and stimulating to do. It helps them to think and use their time and energy to make something productive and rewarding as  a good education is not be purely academic and must involve reading for pleasure , literature, philosophy, art, drama, positive self expression, politics, business and ground breaking scientific research. 
There is no limit to the things you can learn, only if you are interested and keep pushing the limits you can go as an individual.

* **Exposure**

Due to various expeditions , competitions , debates , researches , projects and the likes, some have taken that opportunity to travel the world ( which is also cool by the way) and meet powerful people like presidents, governors, renowned scientists e.t.c . And speaking of which all these dignatories like Presidents and kings all must have formal educations before ascending to such powerful positions and their names are always remembered and respected through out history.

IN CONCLUSION: 
**education is very good, but a good education is even better**

I really hope a teacher somewhere is out there reading this right now. Because they have lots of work to do and so do the parents.

> My idea of a good education is one where a person is taught the basic sciences ( maths, physics, biology chemistry...) , some art courses too ( literature, fine art, banking...) so as to broaden their horizon. But most importantly ; compassion, critical thinking, humanity, kindness, love, bravery , how to let out one's talent in the most remarkable way and how to relate with people. 
I believe if all this can be done, 70% of the world's problems would be solved , ' just by having a good education'. 

* Humanity enough to stop terrorism 
* Kindness to the old and weak amongst us
* Love to our God, our family and ourselves
* Protection to weak ones and the the earth. To stop global warming and plastic accumulation.
* Love and the ability to study people ; enough to share around to live a life free of hatred, jealousy and abuse.

> Because math (just education) would not teach a 9 year old  not to make fun of an old cranky man who has just fallen in mud and has hurt himself but rather to try and help him up or call for help! ( a good education will). 

SO LET'S START FROM TODAY AND MAKE SURE OUR CHILDREN ARE HAVING MORE THAN JUST AN EDUCATION, BUT A GOOD ONE WITH MORALS.

_AS ALWAYS THIS IS YOUR GIRL @LIZBETHK_
