Question

Speech on the importance of schooling in an individual life

Answer 1

What is education? Education is playing a very important role for our self, the society as well as the country. The basic aim of education is to help each individual to inspire their own potential (Federation of Parents and Citizens' Associations of New South Wales 2008). Besides, education is also focused on the values, attitudes and behaviours which enable all individuals to learn to live peacefully together in the world (UNESCO 1995). In 1960, UNESCO (1995) acknowledged the crucial role of education in ensuring equality of opportunity for members of all racial, national or ethnic groups.

In life, people can live without education but education is the fast way of helping people improve knowledge and experiences. An uneducated person cannot read and write and hence he is closed to all the knowledge and wisdom he can gain through books and other mediums (EduPower 2008). In other words, he is shut off from the outside world. In contrast, an educated man lives in a room with all its windows open towards outside world (Education Platform 2010). Therefore, a good education will decide the future of an individual, a society, as well as a country.
