The Importance of Proper Education

The Importance of Proper Education 

Education is an important thing for human. Education can be a big factor for someone’s life, especially having proper education. Good and bad someone’s life can determine how good or how effective education that they get to begin with. Even if certain people with lower education have a good and proper life, but it is rarely happened. They usually get it since they are born, which is from their parents. That’s why proper education still takes a big part of the success and lacking proper education can jeopardize someone’s life. Moreover, having proper education is not only about success, having a better life or better future. Having proper education is more than those things. Education is not only to equip people to have better life, but it also to create an awareness of social and environmental realities and inculcate in them scientific temper, independence of mind and spirit which are of paramount importance for them to become responsible citizens (Mehta & Rakhi, 1997). The aims of education are more complex and it affects all parts of life. There are several reasons for the importance of proper education.

Firstly, it will create a better mindset and character of human. As we know, the aim of education is not only about gaining knowledge. It is also about how we can create a better mindset and character. Proper education will help us to build and develop our mindset and behavior to be better than before (Hanson, 2016). The education taught us to be better people that have a rational mindset and proper character. In education, we usually follow certain phases to be mature, wise and having a good attitude. When we skip having proper education, it will hamper us to have a better mindset and character. Proper mindset and good character are the basic things that we need to face the real world. Therefore, without those things we cannot survive in real life.

Furthermore, it will develop proper knowledge. The main purpose of education is to achieve knowledge, in order to develop proper insight. The processes of education give us tons of knowledge. The purpose of education is to provide students with academic knowledge and skills in order to prepare them in the workforce (Oregon State University). As we know, there are transferring-information processes happening in education. The more time we use for education, the more knowledge we can gain.  As a result, it can make us up-to-date and aware with knowledge development.

Besides, it will create a better future. Most people might say proper education can bring better future and better life. It happens because proper education can give us big chances to have a good career. How high education we have can be a factor for us to enhance the better life of us. Education can help us in achieving new heights in our life which is a better life (Ajay, 2016). Education can be a medium for us to strengthen the knowledge, behavior, and character that we need in order to have a better job and better life. Education is the vehicle of knowledge, self-preservation and success (Ajay, 2016). Therefore, if we don’t have proper education, we can’t create a better future.

In brief, having proper education is very crucial for human. Proper education can lead us to create a better mindset and character, develop proper knowledge and create a better future as mentioned above. In the same way, Professor Drever in Education in Emerging India (2015, p. 12) states that “education is a process in which and by which knowledge, character and behavior of the young are shaped and molded”.  If we have proper education, we will see the obstacles as challenges to overcome with no fear in order to face new things. That is why proper education is important and one of the keys to success.
