EDUCATION
Education is the
process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills,
values, beliefs, and habits. Educational methods include storytelling,
discussion, teaching, training, and directed research. Education frequently
takes place under the guidance of educators and also learners may also educate
themselves. Education can take place in formal or informal settings and any
experience that has a formative effect on the way one thinks, feels, or acts may
be considered educational. The methodology of teaching is called pedagogy.
Formal education is commonly divided formally into such stages as preschool or
kindergarten, primary school, secondary school and then college, university, or
apprenticeship.
From the two images, we
know that there are significant differences. Whether it's from facilities, how
to learn, and the quality of education. From the first picture, education in
the picture is only found in developed and developing countries. Education has
adequate facilities, a comfortable and clean place to study, there are
laboratories for practicums, and other supporting facilities. The quality of
education and teaching and learning is also quite qualified. The selected
teachers are also intelligent and innovative people. No wonder the results of
education in the first picture are people who have a bright future, have good
skills in their fields, even become experts.
How about second
picture? We know that this education is found in developing or even underdeveloped
countries. Education facilities are very minimal. Some of the teaching staff
are volunteers, and some of them are not qualified. Sometimes they study in
open spaces because the school roof is almost collapsing, healthy food as a
support for education is also less nutritious. So it is not surprising that the
results of the education are very minimal with great people and experts. At
least these children get basic education for community.
Education is important.
Education provides us with knowledge about the world. It paves the way for a
good career. It helps build character. It leads to enlightenment. It lays the
foundation of a stronger nation. Education makes a man complete. Kautilya, an
Indian philosopher, royal adviser, and professor of economics and political
science very rightly underlined the importance of education, some 2000 years
ago. He has highlighted the fact that education enriches people's understanding
of themselves. He has said that education is an investment in human capital, and
it can have a great impact on a nation's growth and development.
Education paves the
path to disillusionment. It wipes out the wrong beliefs from our minds. It
helps create a clear picture of things around, and erases all the confusion. It
kindles the flame of curiosity and helps awaken the abilities to question, and
to reason. The more we learn, the more questions we have, and without
questions, there are no answers. Education teaches us to find answers. It makes
us more self-aware. It leads us to enlightenment.
A direct effect of
education is knowledge gain. Education gives us knowledge of the world around.
It develops in us a perspective of looking at life. It helps us form opinions
and develop a point of view. The information we are constantly bombarded with,
cannot be converted into knowledge without the catalyst called education.
Education makes us capable of interpreting things rightly and applying the
gathered information in real-life scenarios. Education is not limited to
lessons from textbooks. Real education is obtained from the lessons taught by
life.
And what can we do
to make the future better for all children? Start with yourself. Educating ourselves as
best we can, enriching our knowledge through real experiences, not only
experiences while studying in class. Because if we want to educate others, we
must deepen our education with good and useful knowledge. If we succeed in
deepening our knowledge, we can become teachers for these children, provide
training, provide our experience, hold workshops for them, and others. We can
also contribute through donations for school facilities, and healthy food for
these children. We can also invite friends or even teaching staff who are good
at teaching in areas that are closed to the outside world or regions that have
very little education.
It is
unfair if education and knowledge are only given to children in developed
countries. Education must be evenly distributed. Getting knowledge is the right
of every human being. And knowledge is the greatest weapon to rule the world.
