Speech on Importance of Education for Students

Good Morning to one and all present here! Today I am here to deliver a speech about education.
It is usually a belief that education is the foundation for all-round development. Life is based on
development and that developing and growing is life. If we describe this view into the
perspective of education, we can sum up that education is the all-round development of the
individual’s personality. Thus, education is nothing but all-round development of the
individual’s personality. Education is a process of man-making. Hence, education is necessary
for all.

Importance of Education

As per the report of the Kothari Commission, “the destiny of India is being shaped in its
classrooms.” Education ingrain civic and social responsibility among everyone. India is a land of
diversities. Therefore, in order to bring unity, education is a means for emotional integration. We
cannot do without any kind of education. Education is an essential aspect of human development.
Education is a means of achieving a world of peace, justice, freedom, and equality for all. Thus,
education is extremely necessary for all. No good life is possible without education.

It indorses the intelligence of human beings, develops his skill, and enables him to be
industrious. It ensures his progress. Education also channelizes the undeveloped capacities,
attitude, interest, urges and needs of the individual into desirable channels. The individual can
adjust and modify his environment with the help of education as per his need.

Problems and Prospects

In a democratic country, education is necessary for all its citizens. Unless all the citizens get
education, democratic machinery cannot work well. So we may emphasize that the problem of
equality of educational opportunities in Indian. This situation is a very formidable one.

Our education system is at cross-roads. The Indian constitution enacted that there should be a
universalization of primary education. In the order of the constitution, it was indicated that
compulsory education must be for all children up to the age of 14. The universalization of
elementary education has been implemented as a national goal. ‘Education for all’ is now an
international goal.

The main problems are finances. Rural-urban disparity due to illiteracy. Women’s education,
economic conditions of backward communities and non-availability of equipment are some other
major problems.
Strategies and efforts at the national and international level

Universal elementary education has run the formulation of the project “education for all”. The
provision of article 45 of the Indian constitution is a noble determination for the universalization
of elementary education. Big efforts have been made to reach the goal of providing elementary
education to every child of the country through, universal enrolment, universal provision, and
universal retention.

Our constitution is making arrangements for free and compulsory education with the right of
minorities to establish educational institutions. As well as there are education for weaker
sections, secular education, women’s education, instruction in the mother-tongue at the primary
stage, etc. These constitutional provisions are nothing but our effort to achieve the target of the
project “Education for all”.

Conclusion

Thus, in the end, we find that education is a significant factor for achieving success, building
characters, and for living a wholesome and happy life. True education always humanizes the
person. In this reference, “Education for all” has become an international goal for both developed
and developing countries.
