THE VALUE OF EDUCATION

ALDRIN P. CORTEZ

“Education is the key to Success”. This is the most popular quotation about education. It is so, because EDUCATION is the most powerful way in order to develop our knowledge, skills, abilities, attitudes and many more. These could be learned through reading, listening, viewing, training and experiencing. It is said that that everyone has the right to education and it should be free. Oftentimes this is an issue because from primary education, we pay for it although minimal, still it is not free.

Education shall be given / taught in excellence because we are living in a competitive world. It is also a mean in understanding tolerance and friendship among all nations and further activities to promote peace and unity. Through education the people develop their potentials mentally, physically, socially, emotionally and spiritually.

Before, Education is taken for granted by our old folks especially for the females. According to those old people, these girls will only stay at home and do all the chores. This belief has been put into an end when the girls start to work and participated in the provision of their family. Good enough that this was stop. Brighter opportunities await to those who are educated. Education can make a big difference.

Economic development of a country lie on the mental capacity, hard work, perseverance and sincerity of its leaders and workers. Studies and trainings are the measures to be adopt with knowledge and skill.

Let us not stop learning. Let us inculcate the value of EDUCATION. To achieve many things start the journey of educating the mind, body and spirit.
