Role of Education in life

"A man without education is like a building with foundation"...!!

Education is a basic human right and a significant factor in the development of children, communities, and countries. Education has a positive effect on human life. All people need to study. Only with the advent of education can people gain knowledge and enlarge their view over the world. For example, learning by watching TV or reading books gives people a huge amount of information about anything they are interested in such as mathematics, current news, exchange rates, other countries' cultures and so on. Apparently, people may become more useful and civilized if better educated.

Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda said,

“Education is the manifestation of perfection already in man. Strength must come to the nation through education. A nation is advanced in proportion as education and intelligence spread among the masses.”

In the present the scenario the comment is very irrelevant as we are going through a world of complexity where education does not mean more than time table where you get up early in the morning and go to place taking your bag contain some curriculum-based books. Your intention is to learn something to showcase that in the exam paper.  

But in reality education does mean more than that. In education we always need to search for something new and innovative that can prosper society and the person as well. We need such education that can help to make us perfect man and curtail down our wildness, animosity and inhuman quality within us. 

Education is quite important for development of one’s personal life and also to build up a good and healthy society. These two are the basic needs of one’s life (i.e. food and shelter), food is there for a good health and shelter is for our body, just like that education is necessary for our mind.

Education makes a man to think in right direction. It says to one how to think on and take decisions. That’s why education is important. As education helps a one in individual development, it eventually converts it into social development also. So thus it is a key for creating and spreading knowledge for individuals and nations. And thus it plays a key role in development of dynamic and globally competitive economies.

Thus education plays a vital role in development of our lives as well as our societies. We just have to pay attention toward it, if we want to create a well cultured society.
