Importance of education (250 words)
Education plays an important role in the life of a person. There is a formal system of education that a student can undertake. There is also the informal system of education which may be undertaken by people. The formal system starts with formal scholastic study at primary school. School education goes on to middle, secondary, and senior secondary levels. Then follow the undergraduate and postgraduate studies, after which come the doctorate and post-doctorate levels. The formal system of education depends on teachers for the imparting of knowledge to students.
Education helps an individual in acquiring knowledge as a result of the academic studies undertaken. Education helps in enlightening and empowering the youth to take sound decisions, and make a difference to their lives and that of the society. Social ills can be done away with when the society is an educated one. Drug addiction, alcoholism, gender inequality, caste-ism and religious intolerance are social ills that can be eradicated through education. Education must, therefore, be accessible to all people of society. Through education people are able to have livelihoods and earn their living. Education thus promotes economic empowerment too of the people.
In the formal system of regular education, there are timelines within which students need to work, and deadlines to be met by them. There is an annual examination to be taken by students at the end of each academic session, besides many other term-wise or semester-wise examinations. The formal education system, thus, helps an individual develop punctuality and discipline..
