Edu can change the social mindset
Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits.
Educational methods include storytelling, discussion, teaching, training and ‘directed research’. Education is frequently imparted under the guidance of educators, but learners may also educate themselves.
The setting may be formal or informal. Any experience that has a formative effect on the way one thinks, feels or acts may be considered educational. The methodology of teaching is called pedagogy.
Education is commonly divided formally into such stages as preschool or kindergarten, primary school, secondary school and then college, university, or apprenticeship.
The right to education has been recognised by some governments and the United Nations. In most regions, education is compulsory up to a certain age.
EMPOWERMENT
Receiving a good education helps empower you, thus making you strong enough to look after yourself in any given situation.
It keeps you aware of your given surrounding as well as the rules and regulations of the society you’re living in.
It’s only through knowledge that you are able to question authority for its negligence or discrepancies. It is only then that you can exercise your rights as a citizen and seek improvement in the structural functioning of governance and economy.
It’s only when a citizen is aware of the policies of the government that he can support or protest the change.
As a whole, people can bring about development only when they know where improvement is necessary for the greater good of mankind.
Education helps you understand yourself better. It helps you realize your potential and qualities as a human being. It helps you to tap into latent talent, so that you are able to sharpen your skills.
FINANCIAL STABILITY AND DIGNITY OF LIFE
Education helps you gain sufficient academic qualification so that you are able to get suitable employment at a later stage. Decent employment will be combined with hard-earned remuneration or salary through which you can look after your personal expenses.
While you earn for yourself, you gradually begin to realize the true worth of money and how hard it is to earn it.
You realize the significance of saving for a rainy day and for unforeseeable contingencies. You feel empowered because there is a new sense of worth that develops within you, and you feel the need to be independent and free from any further financial support.
You take pride in the fact that you are earning for yourself, and are not obligated to anyone.
GROWTH IN PERSONAL ASPIRATION
There also comes a phase when the amount you are earning presently will seem inadequate because your aspirations and expectations from yourself will have grown considerably.
After this, you will want to change jobs so as to have a higher profile.
However, here is when you need to be prepared. A promotion of this figure can occur in two given situations, which are, that either you have the necessary higher academic qualification or a college degree which allows you a safe passage, or that you have amassed enough practical experience which allows you to be a suitable candidate for the employment you seek.
ON THE JOB EFFICIENCY
That is why college education is very important must not be taken for granted. When faced with the option of choosing between a highly qualified candidate and a not so educated candidate, the employers will most probably go in for the qualified person. The reason being that a qualified candidate will not require much investment of the employer’s time and money.
The organisation need not teach him or her the tricks of the trade, or the various ways of functioning and performing the tasks of the workplace.
On the contrary, a novice / amateur applicant will need to be taught everything from scratch, which many employers are usually not willing to do. The same applies to people who seek higher education and get advanced diplomas while working. These people are continuously improving their profile and their knowledge base so as to go higher up on the competitive ladder.
PLANNING AHEAD
Those who have acquired enough education, steer the path of development and progress for their country. It is these individuals who go ahead and become teachers, scientists, inventors, welfare activists, soldiers, and politicians, who work together to form the very backbone of the society. Without this pool of intellect, the economic and social framework will crumple and fall, paving the way for anarchy, degradation, and violence.
While this intricate balance of growth is maintained, there will be a continuous rise in progress in all quarters of life, whether that be personal growth, or development of the nation as an entity.
This progress has a very important role to play for the coming generations, which will reap the benefits of our hard work, as they develop it further. At the same time, the negative impact of our actions shall have its collateral damage on the coming generation as well. This is why we must be exceptionally prudent about the decisions we make and the actions we take in the present.
