The purpose of education, I believe, is to supply students with the tools they need to make a proper living and be self-sufficient when they're adults. Other than teaching a child how to read and write, I think that the most important goals of education are teaching a child how to apply himself, figuring out the best way they learn individually, and allowing them to better hone in on their skills. My education was a very good one that encouraged growth and development, and also taught me how to love learning. When we were learning how to read in elementary school, the teacher gave out incentives to read more, and gave us the freedom to read whatever we wanted, which helped us to apply ourselves. That grew into a genuine love of reading as well as giving me the skills to get through the heavy reading-load that exists in college on my own. My high school offered students majors that were subject-specific, so that before we entered college we would already have a feel for Bio-Med, or Chemistry, or Social Science, so that we'd make more efficient decisions based on personal experiences. This allowed us to know where our strengths were. Lastly, my junior high offered different tutoring options and different studying suggestions that helped me figure out the best way that I learn. Those are skills that I'll carry with me for the rest of my life, and that's what I think education should offer.
i believe that the purpose of education is to give students the tool they need to make it in life. People need school to exercise their brain. The brain is like a muscle. You need to work it out in order to make it bigger (smarter)so by going to school and receivng and education it can benefit you in numerous ways. One, it can help you towards your job in life. Two, it will help you in your daily routine in life. Three,if you compare a person with an education to a person without one, the difference can be seen without being sed. My education has given me the right tools i needed to fufill the three things i sed. I had hard teacher throughout my life and they made me work hard for my education.
The purpose of education is to give people the tools they need to be successful and independent. The most important goal of education is what a person gains from the experience and how they use the tools given to them to succeed. Education gives you 1.higher chances of gaining and having a successful career, 2.learning development through hard work, 3.becoming a independent individual. From my experience with education i learned that not everyone is as fortunate with education. The elementary school i went to provided programs and curricular activities for children and so did the junior high school i went to. But the high school i went to did not. Though it was still a new school, we had so many opportunities and programs but no one took advantage of them. The programs that were offered, many students would not participate because their friends were not doing it or they thought it was a waste of time. Alot of kids make that mistake. They take their education and the programs that could have been offered to them for granted. Instead of getting up and doing something about these problems they would rather sit back and let others do it for them. The lesson i learned from education is that you dont wait for opportunity, you have to go and find it.
IN my opinon the purpose of education is to teach children things needed to succeed in life. Also it could be to try and find out what a person is interested in so they can find out what they want to do in there life. The purpose of education is to educated the masses and prepare them for the adult life, such as getting a job. I really enjoyed my education and i think it was very influential in the person i am today. My primary and secondary education was very rewarding i was able to learn a lot and able to see what interested me in school. Other than the fact that my highschool was very overcrowded the education was very effective. I really learned a lot about the sciences and i learned i was interested in Chemistry and Biology. Now i am trying to major in Chemistry because of the way i was taught in my highschool. My education has had a huge impact on the way i am today.
I think the goal of education is to give young people the skills they need to be successful adults - this may be by instilling confidence in their abilities, making them knowledgeable in several important subjects, teaching them to be motivated and goal-oriented, among many other things. An education should be about more than just passing an exam. It should be focused on producing well-rounded, intelligent, confident people who will go out into the world and make something of themselves. I can't say my education was perfect, but it was pretty good, and I wouldn't be the person I am today if I didn't have the schooling that I was fortunate enough to have. In my school, we got a really well rounded education, we had pretty good teachers overall who really cared about the students, and we were challenged, not too much that it was beyond our abilities, but enough that we felt a push to work hard. Getting kids to work hard and helping them achieve difficult tasks is priceless. It shows them how much they can achieve, it builds their confidence in their abilities, and it motivates them to work hard in the future. If not for the way my school taught us to dream big and work hard, I wouldn't be the motivated person I am today, I wouldn't be setting goals for myself and figuring out how to get where I want to be. They taught me to think ahead and focus on a goal. That education is invaluable.
