An Essay on Education
Introduction
- It
is truly said that “Seeking Educuation is compulsory for all men and women.” Education
is what removes our doubts and fears; what makes us happy and peaceful; what
makes us better human beings. The teacher comes, removes the darkness and
suddenly we find how beautiful this world is. And experience is often our best
teacher. But gaining knowledge alone doesn’t make one educated. Education is
complete only when we learn how to live, how to hope, how to pray and how to
behave to others.
The
jewel - A man was walking in the desert when a voice
called him and said, “Pick up some pebbles and put them in your pocket, and
tomorrow you will be both sorry and glad. The man obeyed and the next morning
when he reached into his pocket, he found diamonds and rubies and emeralds. And
he was both glad and sorry. Glad that he had taken some – sorry that he hadn’t
taken more. The same is true with education.
The primary
Education - The primary
education is virtually, a disorganized affair, each school pursuing its own
method. The secondary schools are state-managed. It has common curricula having
a rationale in its syllabus. The Higher Secondary functions at three levels:
the State-level, the CBSE and the ICSE. The texts are framed by scholarly
experts selected by the NCERT or State text book committees. Thus we have
struck off the older pattern of our time that has become jaded today and are
obsolete. Primary education helps in the development of analytical skills,
character and overall personality in a child.
The school
Education -
The importance of school education lies in the fact that the children of today
will become adult citizens of tomorrow.
The growth and future of our country highly depends upon the quality of the
present school education system. But, we notice that the less
privileged get sub-standard schools. The teachers teach like drudges and there
is little participation. In a good school the chief objective of the authority
is to stimulate interest and curiosity in the students. Today in major cases
this happens because of high fees. In India this disparity is proving to be
cancerous for the nation. Merit is never an exclusive possession of the
affluent class. Unless opportunities of good education trail down to the
grass-root level, the health of the nation will surely suffer.
Conclusion - It is
important to understand that the facilities for education should be equal for
all. A large
cross-section of dull, unresponsive students that hail from the affluent class
makes their way into good schools where highly paid good teachers serve. On the
other hand, such good schools are clean beyond the reach of honest earning
parents. Thus there is cleavage between quality education and quality students
today. Quality Education is the right of every quality student.
