Question

Write a speech on value of education

Answer 1

➡Every child is born into this world with the “trailing clouds of glory from heaven”. And, suddenly these little angels of God find themselves filled with fears, doubts and confusion. It is here that the role of education gets highlighted. When these God’s angles struggle with fears and doubts, education comes to their rescue and acts as sunshine by removing darkness and helping them overcome their fears and clear their doubts. When it happens, the world appears bright and cheerful and helps children in becoming good human beings.

But education doesn’t come on its own as there is got to be an intermediary who can impart knowledge and show them the right path. This is certainly the role a teacher plays in our lives and he/she is the one who comes as an experienced person and helps children differentiate between right and wrong. Of course, it’s the parents who act as a best guide for the children and help them grow as a responsible citizen because gaining bookish knowledge is not enough. One has to go farther than this and when children learn how to live their lives with dignity, conduct themselves, how to be humble and how to treat others – it is then the education is considered to be complete and believed to be serving its purpose.

Let me share with you a brief story on the Value of Education. Once there was a man who was passing through the desert when suddenly he heard a voice calling on him by saying, “Take some pebbles and keep them with you and tomorrow you will be both glad and sorry”.

The man did the same and next morning when he searched into his pocket, he found emeralds, rubies and diamonds. And at that time he was both happy and sorry. He was happy because he had taken at least some and sorry that he didn’t pick more. This is true of education also.

So my dear friends, let’s keep the value of education intact so that we do not feel sorry the coming day. Education is that wealth which no one can steal but it increases the more you share it with others. Having said that, it’s important to be fully vigilant of what we are sharing with others in the form of knowledge as we should share meaningful and life enhancing knowledge and not something that destroys people and communities.

Education is the most powerful tool so use it wisely. If you are a privileged person, help others by enlightening them, by teaching them the difference between right and wrong and imparting moral values. If education will be based on values and ethics, strengthened by sound moral principles, then our generation will grow up as rational beings. On the contrary, if education will be founded on selfish reasons then no one can prevent that society from its downfall and there will be chaos everywhere.

So let’s take the onus of imparting good values to our coming generation and never lose sight of the primary aim of education, i.e. to become good and responsible global citizens.

Thank You!
