~Education~

                         Education is when the knowledge and skills of people are transformed from one generation to the next by teaching, training or research. It is frequntly carried out by the guidence of others but people can refer what they go through and learn on their own. Any experince that has an effect on one's mind can be considered educational. Basic education is essential for every citizen on the face of the earth.

The purpose of education is to draw out the best in students. It should be about more than just getting marks and making money after graduation. Students should be taught how to learn and to develop a love for life long learning. They need to learn to think for themselves. They need  to be prepared for the challenges they will encounter, even Stephen Hawking said that the education system is not completely appropriate. He said that mugging up equations is not right, and that students need to be taught more theoretically.

Most students don't like studying, but some enthusaistically want to know more. Most people say that studying social sciences like economics is the most boring subject of all. I think, educational life is like a journey which makes the most changes in a person's life. I agree with the famous quote by John Dewey, 'Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself'.
