It is very easy to
explain importance of education. No human beings are able to survive properly
without it.
By the means of education only one’s potential can be used to maximum extent. It's what tells men how to think, how to work properly, how to make decision. Through education only one can make separate identity. It is most important in life like our basic need foods, clothe and shelter.
It is said that the Germans are one of the most educated people on earth, but their education did not serve as an adequate barrier to barbarity. What was wrong with their education?
In Wiesel's words:
"It emphasized theories instead of values, concepts rather than human beings, abstraction rather than consciousness, answers instead of questions, ideology and efficiency rather than conscience. It is matters of no small consequence that the only people who have lived on the planet for any length of time could not read, or do not make a fetish of reading. Education is no guarantee of decency, prudence, or wisdom. More of the same kind of education will only compound our problems. This is not an argument for ignorance, but rather a statement that the worth of education must now be measured against the standards of decency and human survival. It is not education that will save us, but education of a certain kind."
So I ask myself and you too the same question, what is wrong with our education and to what extent is the education we are getting and giving to the students is their guarantee to be proper and descent members in society?
