Importance of Education in Students’ Life
Better education is very necessary for all to go ahead in life and get success. It develops confidence and helps to build the personality of a person. School education plays a great role in everyone’s life. The whole education has been divided into three divisions such as primary education, secondary education, and Higher Secondary education. All the divisions of education have their own importance and benefits. Primary education prepares the base which helps throughout life, secondary education prepares the path for further study and higher secondary education prepares the ultimate path of the future and whole life. Our good or bad education decides which type of person we would in the future.
1. Education spreads awareness:
Blind faith and superstitions are what bog down society. People misled by false beliefs do more harm than good to society. Education helps us question, gives us an analytical mind and helps us reject superstitions. An educated mind asks for logic and scientific reasoning behind all actions.
2. It helps us stand up against wrong and for the right:
Education helps lower crime rate. That’s because the educated can differentiate between what’s right and what’s wrong. Research has shown that increasing the high school completion rate by just 1 percent for all men ages 20–60 would save the U.S. in reduced costs from crime. This is true for other regions as well.
3. It helps progress:
Better education opens up a host of opportunities and this is especially relevant in the times we live in where technology and education ensure that opportunities are not bound by geography.
4. It gives us a healthier lifestyle:
Better educated people tend to live longer and have better lifestyles. For example, research conducted in central European OECD countries have shown that a 30-year-old tertiary-educated man can expect to live eight years longer than a 30-year-old man who has not completed upper secondary education. While a tertiary-educated woman can expect to live four years longer than a woman without an upper secondary education.
5. Helps us to be more productive:
It is a fact well known that the more degrees you have, better would be your economic performance. There is a deep connection between education and productivity and in this age where there is competition at every turn, education is what will help industry and subsequently a nation, to flourish.
6. It helps us connect across borders:
Digital education has helped achieve this. Education has given students from across borders opportunities to connect and communicate and work towards building a better future and a better world. For example, a professor in America can help inspire a student in Afghanistan to study and travel the world, help herself and a whole generation after her, to lead a better life.
7. It gives empowerment:
Education helps turn a weakness into a strength. Education gives us the confidence to stand for ourselves. It improves our decision-making capabilities, makes us mobile and gives us access to social networks. Many types of research have proven that in countries where women are subjected to gender bias, education helped them stand up against marital violence, improved their decision-making capabilities and helped them take charge of their own lives.
Conclusion
Education helps a person realize their potential, which in return helps foster a stronger and cohesive society. Denying one access to this is to deny one the very basic right to be a complete human being. The importance of education has to be permeated at every level of human society: the family, the community and the state at large. School Information Initiative by Shakuntala Vidyalaya.
