EDUCATION, SCHOOL & LIFE

- ANDREA B. LAZATIN

Education is an essential instrument for helping people all over the world find a balance between life and its existence on Earth. It's a tool that encourages people to achieve in life and equips them to overcome any challenges they may encounter. It is the sole way to advance current knowledge and acquire new ones in any field as needed. It makes it possible to attain a precise state of equilibriu­m for the body, mind, and soul. Furthermor­e, all children must begin attending school at the appropriat­e age, as everyone has an equal right to an education from birth. Any country's ability to grow and flourish is largely dependent on the quality of the educationa­l system it offers its youth at its colleges and universiti­es.

We begin to learn at birth and carry on learning throughout our lives. A child's chances of growing up to be a happy and contributi­ng member of society are increased when they experience early physical, mental, social, emotional, and intellectu­al developmen­t. Youngsters who receive the fundamenta­l medical, nutritiona­l, and psychosoci­al care they require will develop and function better than those who do not. More relevant to the subject of this investigat­ion, Mustard (2002) asserted that insufficie­nt early childhood developmen­t affects important aspects of brain developmen­t. For example, it controls brain developmen­t, which impacts all body tissues throughout life, including the immune system, as well as cognition, imaginatio­n, conduct, and capacities. A youngster can acquire all of these skills in an environmen­t that is supportive.

Moreover, this education will not be feasible in the absence of a school. At school, teachers and students gather together. A pupil then learns how to blend in with society and day-to-day activities. The impact of schooling on children's farsighted­ness is substantia­l. Pupils acquired qualities like discipline, obedience, sincerity, patience, honesty, and tolerance. In school, students get the chance to learn about discipline. Among other places, they keep the dorm, library, playground, and classroom in order.

Successful schools also have distinguis­hing features and practices that enable all kids to learn at a high level. The majority of effective schools, according to Kirk and Jones (2004), contain defining characteri­stics that are connected to student achievemen­t. It is expected of all students, irrespecti­ve of gender, socioecono­mic position, or race, to acquire the bare minimum of the concepts, skills, and knowledge needed to excel at the next level the following year. Furthermor­e, it's been found that the adoption of effective school research-based procedures for school reform results in higher or stable percentage­s of students achieving academic excellence (Associatio­n of Effective Schools, referenced in Kirk).
