Education: Part 1

The 24th of January is annually commemorated as the International Day of Education.

The International Education Day occurs in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic that led to a global learning disruption of unprecedented scale and severity. The closure of schools, universities and other learning institutions, as well as the interruption of many literacy and lifelong learning programmes, has affected the lives of 1.6 billion students in over 190 countries. As a new year begins, now is the time to step up collaboration and international solidarity to place education and lifelong learning at the centre of the recovery and the transformation towards more inclusive, safe and sustainable societies.

Importance of Education

 “KNOWLEDGE IS THE FOOD FOR MAN BECAUSE IN THE ABSENCE OF KNOWLEDGE, MAN CANNOT GROW HIS FOOD.”

What is Education?

The first thing that strikes our minds when we think about education is gaining knowledge. Education is a tool which provides people with knowledge, skill, technique, and information, enables them to know their rights and duties towards their family, society as well as the nation. It expands vision and outlook to see the world. It develops the capabilities to fight against injustice, violence, corruption and many other bad elements in society.

Education gives us knowledge of the world around us. It develops in us a perspective of looking at life. It is the most important element in the evolution of the nation. Without education, one will not explore new ideas. This means one will not be able to develop the world because without ideas there is no creativity and without creativity, there is no development of the nation.

Education is an important aspect that plays a huge role in the modern, industrialized world.

Education is the social institution through which society provides its members with important knowledge, including basic facts, job skills, and cultural norms and values.

One of the most important benefits of education is that it improves personal lives and helps the society to run smoothly. By providing education, poverty can be removed and every person can provide their contribution to developing the country.

An educated person is more likely to develop better moral and ethical values as compared to an uneducated person. Lack of education creates problems like superstition, domestic violence, poor health, and poor living standards.

Education is an integral part of human society. Its importance in life can’t be ignored as lack of education gives birth to numerous social problems. It helps people to find a better solution to their problems. Education lets people realize the true value of contribution and help become the backbone of the society.

As Nelson Mandela said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
