Education World

I’m always wondering what kind of education do we need. I’m a college student, but the courses offered are so many and the study load is so heavy that I almost have no time to develop my own interest. However, recently there emerges heat discussion about the education’s aim: whether it is to elevate the students’ quality or to obtain better competence in the job market?

   To create an informed citizen. A democracy can exist without a single marketing executive, but it can’t exist without citizens who can think critically and are well-informed.

   The ultimate purpose of education is to preserve and increase the depth of knowledge. On a less lofty basis, it is to prepare individuals to preform services for the society as a whole.

   1.To help people to spend their childhood(at least they will have something to do if not capable of working)
   2.Education itself is a project which can let lots of people make their leaving(the book press,teachers,private tutor…)
   3.To civilize people.

   To offer you in early stages, a symorgasbord of ideas and trades to you to help you find your gift, your lifes destiny ,and also while realizing it yourself as it comes out of you. then u will just do what comes out of you that only you can offer the world. as a christian your other word that would come to mind is once your mind has it faculties ,tools, the 3 r’s,a working knowledge and able to communicate correctly, u are no longer in need of a teacher, but the holy spirit in you will lead u into all truth,especially the path hes leading your life down.no goals,which requires your self will,but just be lead from day to day and his plan will unfold in your mind looking back. That’s education to me.

   the knowlege and education is telled people how to be a good person. how to solve problem ,how to do better job . how to do a better behavior. how do develop a good relationship.
