EDUCATION IS AN ACT OF SHARING

Melanie D. Tan

We look up to our teachers and educators as expert in their field. They are expected to apply what they know in order to help people learn from them. Sharing what they know is not only limited in the knowledge level but moreover is the learning of wisdom. Teachers and educators know how to help people learn by means of using different teaching strategies and techniques to cater to the needs of their learners. They explore a lot of information to possibly transfer what are essential for the life of the people around them hungry for knowledge. What they do in the four corners of the classroom is not only limited with imparting knowledge and information but it also includes disciplining of individuals for them to become better persons. As they do all the tasks and responsibilities of educating people, they also work with other people or groups of people in order to help act together in educating the minds of those who need it.

As we ask the question about the meaning of education, we can say that it is the effort mostly of the teachers and educators to impart knowledge and wisdom to individuals for them to have a better chance in life as they use what they have learned for their own personal benefit and eventually become good and productive citizens of the country.

Teachers and educators are committed to make an individual the best possible version of him or herself. This kind of commitment is the vision of every educator. But an educator or a teacher cannot do this alone. There should be togetherness in providing an effective learning environment for every single soul that walks the earth.
