IMPACT OF EDUCATION ON SOCIETY
• As one caveman taught another how to use the wheel, carts
were built, making transport easier. This decreased work
load made time for other activities, such as drawing.
• It also connected one group to another. Therefore the mere
transfer of knowledge caused by society to evolve into
civilized groupings.
• One of the main arguments for public education is that, as
individuals in a society become more knowledgeable, the
entire population becomes more knowledgeable.
 IMPACT OF EDUCATION ON SOCIETY

EDUCATION is a fundamental to sustainable development. It is a

powerful driver of development and one of the strongest instruments
for reducing poverty and improving health; it also enables people to
be more productive, to earn a better living and enjoy a better quality
of life, while also contributing to a country’s overall economic
growth.
POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE IMPACT OF EDUCATION
ON SOCIETY
POSITIVE IMPACT
 Education is necessary to advance in any
situation. It has become a factor to a
person’s success in today’s society.
 Education promotes health
 Education closes the gender gaps
 Education minimizes malnutrition
 Education promotes economic growth
NEGATIVE IMPACT
× Education can be destructive if misused
(Criminals, chemical weaponry
manufacturing)
× Education inculcates a kind of
competitiveness that borders on unhealthy
relationships (Moral Impact)
× Education gives knowledge but doesn’t
include wisdom (Lack of Wisdom)
 EDUCATION CAN BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER
WHERE GOVERNMENTS FAIL
Nowadays, in many regions of the continent, governments continue to fail those
who are systematically left on the margins:
• Women
• Girls
• Children
• Many more
As a result, the human rights of the most vulnerable citizens are neglected and
ethnic and religious tensions are worsened for personal and political gain.
 EDUCATION CAN BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER
WHERE GOVERNMENTS FAIL
Sadly, one tactic that has often been used to achieve this is to deprive the large
majority of the people from education opportunities, such that citizens do not
know what their rights are.

Education can help bridge the gap between ethnic, religious and cultural
tensions. If people are not raised to be active from their childhood on, to be
responsible participants in their communities and to participate in the activities
needed towards achieving development, then it is less likely that any form of
peace will be sustainable in the long term.
 ROLE OF EDUCATION IN STRENGTHENING
COMMUNITIES

Indeed, there’s a lot of Filipino children are currently out of school, and many
more are not learning even basic mathematics or reading skills. Dropout rates
are high.
 ROLE OF EDUCATION IN STRENGTHENING
COMMUNITIES

EDUCATION is the most important criteria for individual as well as collective

development of a society and a state.
PRIMARY EDUCATION is the basic bedrock upon which whole building of
education and human development stands.

It provides the child with basic insights to a new world and provides him
with necessary tools to proceed through various fields of life.
 EDUCATION IS INDISPENSABLE IN STRENGTHENING
THE BONDS THAT HOLD COMMUNITIES AND
SOCIETIES TOGETHER

We know that EDUCATION helps people understand democracy, promotes

the tolerance and trust that underpin it, and motivates people to become
active inquisitive citizens. We are even more energised to ensure that
education’s vital role is recognised, especially in regions and countries where
lack of tolerance is associated with violence and conflict.

Education also helps to identify and develop those leaders in our

communities who will battle against low-quality education, and
poverty, leading to a successful and strong community.
