What Is Education For You?

When students think of educational schooling, they think of grueling hours of sitting in a classroom and getting lectured about things they do not believe they will ever apply to the real life. Maybe it is just me. Not many students in the more richer and developed countries will ever realize how privileged they are. It is so easy to say that they do not like or want something even when it is presented to them. However, there are still places that are not given the opportunity to improve their lifestyles because they do not have an access to schooling. Access to education is a very important factor to bridge the gap between developed and underdeveloped countries. It is also the reason that humans have gotten this far in history. Without teaching

How do you define education? Some may have a very simple definition to answer this question. However, the definition of education is much more encompassing than one might think. If your definition didn’t make you think of philosophy, experiences, and theory than you might want to rethink your understanding of education. Furthermore, why do we educate? Everyone’s opinion on this subject is somewhat connected between expanding experiences to producing “good” citizens. This paper seeks to explore the various definitions of education, as well as, find valid evidence to support the answer of “why do we educate?”

Education has always been very important to me and my family. A couple months ago I started to read a book called “ I Am Malala” which talked about the importance of education. While reading this book I realized how lucky I am to be able to go to school everyday and learn something new as well. While reading this book it also made my jaw drop because I found out that there were people who were actually killing people and kids over education. Everyone should be able to

What does education mean to us in America? Does it mean better money? Better job? More opportunities? While this was the promise that was told us Americans since we were children, decades later that promise doesn't seem so promising. Since we were children we were asked the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”. We were told we could be anything we wanted to be, as long as we did well in school, then we would go to college where you can make your dreams come true. But now those dreams are just looking like dreams. College graduates are leaving school with no jobs and mounting debts, schools are closing in urban cities as well as dropout rates increasing. Our education system is in a crisis. This is a result of our old way of

I believe education, is very important thing to break the cycle of poverty and make people life easier but in Ethiopia lack of enough and quality education facilities, shortage of highly qualified teachers and lack of a job after graduation made people life difficult more than anyone can imagine.

In addition to empowering individuals, effective education systems strengthen communities by building bridges between people, thus preventing conflict and ignorance. Most importantly, our education systems cannot simply cater to the powerful and privileged. In making donations and investments, we must look to those who are most vulnerable in the world – women, those from developing countries, and many others who are often relegated to the shadows when governments think about the public they serve. In doing so, we can build a more well-educated, prosperous, and socially just

Do you know what it means to be educated? Is it earning a degree in a certain field? Or is being educated is just the knowledge you gained through schooling? Many people have different answers to this question. I think to be educated is to have the willingness to learn from others, to be an avid reader and interact with texts, as well as being independent and having the motivation to improve.

“Education promotes equality and lifts people out of poverty. It teaches children how to become good citizens. Education is not just for a privileged few, it is for everyone. It is a fundamental human right.” - Ban Ki-moon

According to Google, it is important because education gives us a knowledge of the world around us and changes it into something better. It is true because the smarter we get, the more we get to know the world around us. Also, www.malala.org states that when women are educated, there are more jobs for everyone and if all girls went to school, low and middle income countries could add $92 billion per year to their economies. That’s a lot of money for poor countries. Here is a quote from google: “DECREASE INFANT MORTALITY: Children of educated women are less likely to die before their first birthday.” Also, www.malala.org states that “When a country gives all of its children secondary education, it cuts its risk at war in half.” That is crazy! Just by giving kids and education could possibly save their country. Again from Google, it states “As many claim, investing in a girl's education is investing in a nation, and girls who receive an education are less likely to contact HIV & AIDS, and thus, less likely to pass it onto their children. That is why girls education is

Western countries like us North Americans take education for granted and we don’t realize how fortunate we are. We complain about attending classes and completing our homework, while there are many girls fighting for our privilege. Are you aware that there are still many countries where girls don’t have access to education? `Education is an essential human right that developing countries such as India, Pakistan,Afghanistan were intended to have access to already! This resembles as one breathes, eats, and drinks. I fully agree with the UNESCO research, which demonstrates that education transforms lives. Unfortunately, this transformation seems to be unacceptable for many in developing countries. They desire women to be dependent, enslaved, and

Education is key in most of our lives. It strengthens our brains, and allows us to get foundations for well paying jobs. But not everyone is provided with an equal chance of achieving this. In poor countries, a high percentage of people are illiterate, or have never gone to school, girls especially. But now, more and more people are going to school. There are good schools and bad schools, students who struggle and students who excel. Though it takes a lot of work to excel, and these children prove that excellence can be just around the corner, no matter your circumstances.

Just like many children not getting enough food around the world, there are too many children around the world in need of an education. There are many success stories of which education has played a role in a child’s life, such as the girls of Room to Read’s education program for rural, underprivileged children and the results of Malala Yousafzai’s stand for education against the Taliban. Many children need the education to become more “job appropriate” (having the skills and knowledge necessary for getting a job); many are preoccupied with other things such as fear and inferior jobs. Not only that but education, especially investing in it, has a socioeconomic benefits loop. Investing in education for children in underprivileged areas is important

Education is important for so many other reasons and because we live in America we as women have the right to and education. This gives us opportunities that we didn’t get a long time ago, and gives people from other countries like third world countries give women a chance to be workers and not just house wives. We can use our accomplishments to get a good job a nice house, and prove men the women can do it as well. I am given a chance to work and support my family and that’s all I want.

Many times people associate the term “Educated” with having one or more college degrees however, that doesn’t necessarily define if that person is well- rounded or, completely aware of an everyday situation. Someone who is educated tends to understand what the subject is talking about more than others. Educated people have many traits to help them get an understanding of any situation, because they either have traveled, read about it,or s open minded about what others think and can channel the information from other to what is being discussed. Traveling can give someone a broad view of the, country, state, or any city. If someone were to ask about any of the three (Country, city, State) they person who has traveled would be able to tell them

Education makes one able to understand what is happening in the world logically and clearly. Education enables individuals to put their potential to use and make a difference in the future. It is essential for individuals to be educated in a way that they will expand their knowledge vastly. An ideal educational model is very difficult to achieve, and is often argued over by people in society.
