Question

speech on adverse impacts of education

Answer 1

Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits. - Wikipedia.

By this definition, education can never have negative effects. It only produces negative effects when its process or acquisition is undertaken incorrectly. For example, many incorrectly equate schooling with education when in truth, schooling is only one way of being educated. All process of learning is part of education. This means that life itself is part of education.Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits. - Wikipedia.

If there are negative consequences, those are brought about by incorrect or misguided implementation of education, in other words, miseducation. This is not in the dictionary, but should be. Simply put, miseducation is being educated incorrectly either through a wrong process, a misguided ideology, or wrong information.

For example, students may be miseducated if they are taught:

using outdated teaching modelsby biased ideologuesusing wrong information

For example, for the vast majority of people, formal schooling is the only way to gain an education. But the practices in this sector has not been updated for nearly a century that many of the teaching methods and principles used are severely outdated. Many schools are still stuck in the information transfer model of teaching.
