REFLECTION

● I learned that Education is the foundation for all we do in life and i do believe in
that because education gives us knowledge of the world around us. It develops in
us a perspective of looking at life. It is the most important element in the
evolution of the nation. Without education, one will not explore new ideas. It
means one will not able to develop the world because without ideas there is no
creativity and without creativity, there is no development of the nation. It is also
an important aspect that plays a huge role in the modern, industrialized world.
People need a good education to be able to survive in this competitive world.
 Modern society is based on people who have high living standards and
knowledge which allows them to implement better solutions to their problems.
Education is the social institution through which society provides its members
with important knowledge, including basic facts, job skills, and cultural norms
values and it improves personal lives and helps the society to run smoothly. By
providing education, poverty can be removed and every person can provide their
contribution to developing the country.
● I enjoyed most on making a slogan about the importance of education because it
expands my knowledge by thinking a catchy statement for my slogan.
● I want to learn more about educational institutions and other functions of
education not only to the society.
