Education: Why the Youth Needs It?
To a lot of people, obtaining an education has always been a very important goal. But why? Did you ever wonder why your parents always keep on telling you most of the time to keep on striving and keep on pursuing your studies? Why they keep on reminding you almost every day that it is the key for a brighter future? And why do sometimes they push their selves off the limits just to make you get a higher degree of education? Well, it’s simply because what they’re telling you is true.
Basically, people have different point of views in life and it includes in education as well. Many of us questions if education is really significant in one’s life especially for today’s youth. Well, I must say that education is not only important but a crucial factor in our existence as human beings. Why? Education provides us the essential human virtue. It gives us the opportunity to make the most of ourselves. It serves as the ladder to a brighter future. It is a necessity in the society for it signifies man position in the society. And it is a sign of freedom.
Aristotle once wrote, "Educated men are as much superior to uneducated as the living are to the dead." Epictetus declared, "Only the educated are free."And Diogenes felt that "Education is a controlling grace to the young, consolation to the old wealth to the poor and ornament to the rich."
It is crystal clear that the benefits of education are quite endless. Although there is a discrepancy until now whether educated person is much better than the uneducated but experienced one, still it depends.
Education is not obtained not only in school although formal education is attainable in universities and schools. Education starts when you learn various things and gets aware with your surroundings. Remember that our first teachers are our parents and our first classroom is our home. Back way
