Discussion: The Importance of Education

Heyy friends!

I just saw a Telly Buzz article on education and it got me thinking.

Education is the most important thing in the development of a child, but also in the development of a country. Through education, a country can move forward and progress in the world.

If the education in India was focused on, our country would be on the top and able to provide a better life for its population.

At the moment: the average literacy rate: 64.8% - meaning only 648 out of 1000 people in India know how to read and write.

And already India has the third largest Gross Domestic Product (a way of measuring the size of an economy).

India also has one of the fastest growing economies in the world, with a growth rate of 9.4% (2006-7)!

So imagine what India could achieve if education levels were increased!

What are your thoughts on this?

Do you agree? Or do you feel there are other factors more important?

Please feel free to discuss and share your thoughts!

Yes I feel education is very important. It opens a lot of doors for you in life and with a good education you can get very far in life 😃 It also makes you more recognisable as a person with a good education background and increases chances of employability.

It also makes you a better person and makes you more knowledgeable about the world 😃

You only get one chance to be educated so why waste it? 😛

Yeah I agree.

Education is very important in life. Most young people don't realize how important it is. That's because you don't really see the benefit of a good education until later in life. :)

We cant able to even think in right direction without education Education is the soal of the personality 😃 😃 😃

I totally agree with the discussion. Education is the key. With more than 1 lakh colleges in india, It will make wonder in next 20 years as told by kalam

With so much of development hapenning across, there should not be much need of stressing the importance of education

because high school doesn't come around when you're 25 years old and you realize that you will be working at mcdonalds for the rest of your life. your teenage years determine whether you make it or break it. the older you get, the harder it becomes for you to find the time, energy, and intellect to get into college. in my eyes, it's better to work hard now and party later. seriously, if you think about it, education is power, and power is money. we can all claim that money isn't everything, but the reality is that as the world economy changes, everyone finds the need to gain as much money as possible. things are only getting worse day by day, and your parents have witnessed this, which is why they're pushing you to learn as much as you can.
