PREPARING LEARNERS FOR THE MODERN WORLD

MA. ELEANOR S. DEANG

Education is an important tool that is applied in the contemporary world to succeed, as it mitigates the challenges which are faced in life.

As an educator, I believe that the knowledge gained through education enables the Filipino youth’s potential to be optimally utilized owing to training of the human mind. This opens doors of opportunities, which enables them to achieve better prospects in career growth.

Education has played a big role in the modern world, due to the fact that prospective young employees must be qualified adequately to perform various tasks effectively. It can be noted that our industries especially here in the Philippines, entail resources that are sufficiently equipped with the modern technology to suit the needs and wants of the society.

The foundation of the society is based on education since it brings economic and social prosperity. Gaining education enhances an individual to live a respectful life in his community and the environment he lives in. This is because education offers a setting in which culture and values of a society are developed.

Furthermore, the advancement of the society both economically and socially is by gaining education which consequently enables our youth to run the modern world.

Career wise, education is the foundation of developing individuals by providing knowledge regarding humanity— how we live, how to live, and how to make a living. Education enables the youth to interpret the world around them rightly, innovating new ways and means that conform to their environment .

The current advancement in technology has been enhanced largely by education, as individuals are able to apply the skills acquired in real life leading to innovations.

In accordance to this, there is a great need for today’s educators to be responsive on the fast-changing world. As a teacher, I myself continues to learn and adapt in the use of technology, so that I can effectively integrate information in the classroom.

In this day and age, everything goes with the changing time and I believe that we must accept the global challenge of using technology in education in a great response with the continuous growth in digital tools of learning. With that, we develop our students to be prepared and ready for the modern world.
