Why Education is so
Important in our life?
• An educated person is able to identify right from
wrong and good from bad.
• An education gives a person knowledge about
good values, ethical and moral responsibilities in
life.
• An educated person is environmentally conscious
and knows how important it is to keep our
surroundings clean and litter free.
• An educated person knows how to talk to people
politely and uses appropriate language with
everyone.
• An educated person respects everyone who is
older than him.
 “Education is the most
powerful weapon which you
can use to change the
world.”

Nelson Mandela
 Education in this Modern Era
• Today the primary reason why a child is
pushed into a school at the tender age of
3 is not that the parents want him to
attain knowledge; it is because they are
afraid that their child will be “left-
behind”.
• Similarly the most prevalent psychology
among student today is to fight intense
competition for a certain degree to get a
certain job. In this way, education has become
highly commercialised and almost like a
business today, with institutes charging very
high fees for their degrees which promise
good placements because they have “tie-ups”
with the companies. But still they are leaving
their jobs after 3-4 months or most of them
are not satisfied.
• Currently a majority of students are going
into institutes which have good marketing and
advertising strategy and make lofty promises
to entice people during admission times. So
people are not influenced by the teachers and
the quality of teaching but by the
advertisements and promotional campaigns
being run by the institute.
• In recent times you will notice that every
educated person knows how to chat nicely
with people from all around the world, but
they have forget how to talk respectfully to
elders in their own homes such as parents and
others.
