Why We Need Education
Education is like food and shelter. It is considered basic to one’s life. While food is for health and shelter for the body, education is for the mind.
Education enhances one’s knowledge and as the saying goes; Knowledge is Power. However, power that a person posses will be dependent on how an individual uses it. A person could ultimately choose to use knowledge and power for the benefit of themselves, for others or to be simply used in the destruction of mankind. Education is the knowledge of putting one’s potentials to maximum use. Education makes man a right thinker. It tells man how to think and how to make decision.
This is where the education should be given importance. As education is geared towards individual development, such development should eventually transform into social development. For individuals and nations, it is key to creating, applying, and spreading knowledge-and thus to the development of dynamic, globally competitive economies.
