Can Anyone Determine What Education Really Is?
Education can be traced back for so many years. It’s been developed into so many things we can’t keep track. But the question right now is “What is education, really?” The Wikipedia states, “In its technical sense education is the process by which society deliberately transmits its accumulated knowledge, skills and values from one generation to another”. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education]. In other words, education is the process of gaining and learning new things. Does it really have to be that detailed and long to explain one simple word? When did education actually begun or developed? Some of you may say “what do you mean by that?” Well, every day, every hour, every minute and every second we are learning. It can be from knowing how to open your eyes for the first time. It could be the knowledge of how to cook for the first time. Or even down to knowing how to change the television channel. Education is all around us. But some people are either not taking advantage of it or just don’t have the opportunity to receive it. Statistics showed that over the past 20th century, people are more likely to graduate from high school more than the past generation before. The way the economy is changing; having education is one of the top requirements in order to receive a chance for a job. Most high end jobs will require you to have a college educated level. Its funny how our youth today are graduating more from college, but at the same time our youth is failing or dropping out of high school is increasing. Why are the statics that way? What is interfering with our youth that is causing them to lose the chance of a lifetime? We need to in courage our youth to achieve and make a better life for themselves.
