Why We Need Education
Britney Johns
Education is like food and shelter. It is considered basic to one's life.
While food is for health and shelter for the body, education is for the mind.
Education enhances one's knowledge and as the saying goes; Knowledge is Power.
However, power that a person posses will be dependent on how an individual
uses it. A person could ultimately choose to use knowledge and power for the
benefit of themselves, for others or to be simply used in the destruction of
mankind. Education is the knowledge of putting one's potentials to maximum
use. Education makes man a right thinker. It tells man how to think and how
to make decision.
This is where the education should be given importance. As education is
geared towards individual development, such development should eventually
transform into social development. For individuals and nations, it is key to
creating, applying, and spreading knowledge-and thus to the development of
dynamic, globally competitive economies.
It is one important policy that a state must promote, as education is the
only means to understand its history, culture and to some extent their
religion. Education is the only means to unite a country, a people as nation.
This is to say that education is a must if a nation aspires to achieve growth
and development and more importantly sustain it. The importance of education
cannot be neglected by any nation. And in today's world, the role of
education has become even more vital. It is an absolute necessity for
economic and social development of any nation.
