Importance of Education

The importance of learning in enabling the individual to put his potentials to optimal use is self-evident. Without education, the training of the human minds is incomplete. No individual is a human being in the working world until he has been educated in the proper sense. Now I’m not saying you’re not a human being without education. The mind was made to be trained and without education, a person is incomplete in that sense. Education makes man a right thinker and a correct decision-maker. It achieves this by bringing him knowledge from the external world, teaching him to reason, and acquainting him with past history, so that he may be a better judge of the present. Without education, man, as it were, is shut up in a windowless room. With education, he finds himself in a room with all its windows open to the outside world. In other words, people who are not educated have less opportunity to do what they want to do.

A person that gets a good education will become a more dependable worker, a better citizen, and a stronger consumer. For example, people would rather higher an educated man rather than a non-educated person. When looking at the long-term effects of an education, our economy needs these educated people to know how to keep the economy efficient and not get into a bind in the future. Someone said if they were Bill Gates ( Since he is very educated), would he understand the economy better? Of course not but that’s not what I am trying to say. How advanced do you think the computer would be without him? The more educated someone is, the more knowledge one obtains on different subjects. Each person has a different level of understanding for each subject there is to learn about. That is why there are experts in every field you could go into and each part is a piece of the puzzle that makes this world/economy grow.

Since technology has come as far as it has in the past decades, there are important skills that must be learned. Strong science and math skills are needed in order to build the many interstates and highways, plants and pipelines, and electrical systems. These skills have been used in the past, but not nearly as much and as precise as they are used now. No one knows what the future holds. The skills from the past are used today, the skills of today are going to be used tomorrow, and the skills of tomorrow are going to be used in the future. The only problem is that we don't know what the skills of tomorrow will be because more skills are going to be added with the more technological advances we make daily.

There are different levels of education that can be completed. The first level is receiving a high school diploma or an equivalent to that. This level teaches students the basic skills needed to live and
