“Education is the most powerful weapon
which you can use to change the world.” - Nelson Mandela
There is often a debate whether
education is for employment or enlightenment. There are different schools of
thought about the importance of education. Some scholars think that education
is only for enlightenment while some practitioners believe that education is
only for employment. Unfortunately, Indian education neither emphasizes on
employment nor enlightenment. It emphasizes on 3 Rs – read, write and reproduce
which doesn’t encourage creativity among the students. What is essential is to
make students think by imparting education with inspiring examples and stories.
Education helps people do their own
activities without depending on others. It makes them independent and
confident. It helps them keep pace with the world.
It develops holistic personality. It converts your threats into opportunities
and turns your scars into stars. It helps you lead a prosperous and peaceful
life.
Education helps us understand
ourselves. It helps introspect and realize our mistakes to improve ourselves. It
equips students with knowledge, skills and abilities. It empowers them to be
confident to face challenges in life. In
fact, both education and character help people to be successful in the world.
Education is essential whether people
aspire to be job seekers or job providers. James Truslow Adams once remarked, “There
are obviously two educations. One should teach us how to make a living and the
other how to live." Hence, education must be basically meant for
enlightenment followed by employment. While enlightenment is the end product,
the employment is the byproduct of education.
“Genius without education is like
silver in the mine.” - Benjamin Franklin
