EDUCATION TO BUILD A BETTER FUTURE FOR ALL

We are all unaccompanied in this universe which is a paragon of all amount of infinite knowledge. Our universe is in fact much smaller than the knowledge that subsists altogether. There are wider implications of education than literacy. An educated one is not the one who knows quantum physics or Schrodinger’s equation or discrete mathematics or the plays of Shakespeare. You gain education when you are able to divulge your knowledge in the precise direction, when you scrutinize yourselves and when your subconscious, conscious and super- conscious mind function collectively in such a way generating a temperament with a character within an individual.

Educated people bring change in the society and they do apprehend their responsibilities very well. Education creates ethical, moral and civilised individuals whereas literacy gives birth to robots. A literate person may know the recipes of all the dishes but an educated and experienced one knows to cook better than the former. Education helps to smear theoretical knowledge and apply them in actual life. Also education is that one source that helps a person discriminate between the right and the wrong
To make this world a better place to live in we need to first educate our young generation. Education that uproots ignorance, demise, frustration and anger cannot be easily measured. When we get solutions to some fundamental questions through education then these new ideas developed by mankind tends to benefit the future generation and then helps to eradicate problems like famine, overpopulation, environmental imbalance. And yes the process of education is such that we make mistakes and even do learn from it. With each and every mistake we bring in ourselves an amount of considerable perfection. From rocket science to agriculture and from repairing a car to nanotechnology everything requires education to be practically applied too.

The outcome of education comes out well when it works for everyone’s advantage. An Ideal education emphasizes on imparting knowledge and experience and not even a bit of stress. Education should in fact, promote values and responsibilities towards the nation. You don’t have to study physics or biology for your better future but it’s your passion and art and skill that helps you survive in the worst of all conditions. If education cannot guarantee me skill and passion I would find myself fortunate and privileged to have not received one. The problem with education is that people misunderstand education to be given in classes with students on their benches and a teacher speaking continuously for almost an hour. Education is not money that you give to someone anticipating yourself to get it back either by revenge or by force. It is a kindness that you do to someone with having no obligations and demanding no compensations in return.
And yes, one thing to be carefully judged is that failures will teach you that one thing which many successes combined together cannot even have the audacity to do so. And yes, if education of a right quality is given to all individuals then I am sure there would be no need for humans to go on Mars for it will make humans live with a feeling of compassion that earth will be more than enough for we humans to live.
Each and every small bit of incident teaches us many things. Education should not be given to write tests for three hours but should be given to prove yourself your whole life, life is an exam and you need to educate yourselves. A knowledgeable man may score well but life keeps a report on how better you perform in the arena of life.

Education if directed towards a positive progression yields dexterous results and paves way for a better future and if directed in the opposite direction, yields results – otherwise.
