What is education and why is it important? The mere thought about education excites me, because according to my personal approach education is not only books and grades but something way beyond that. Education is an experience through which you learn something new, something that you had never known, it could be the color of the sky or the formula of formaldehyde, it could be the first step of a child or the speed at which an aircraft flies.

Education is often misinterpreted, by the load of books or the courses taken.

Near me, anything that brings about a positive change is education. Sometimes people learn many theories but do not practically change, they may undertake lessons on science and mathematics and geography but stay unaffected about their liabilities.

Reading books, hearing lectures and attending courses doesn’t necessarily mean that you have been educated, until and unless you do not incorporate your knowledge to your attitude.

Education is embedding your knowledge in the mind. It is the application of information or skills. It is the knowledge of the world and the drive to improve it into something better. It helps us think optimistically.

Unfortunately, today as the world is progressing on a fast rate, everything is shortened; education is also selling in the name of short courses. It is very difficult for the human brain to learn a subject spread over 4 years in merely 4 months. In the name of technology and advancements people are misled towards fast track studies which is ineffective.
