Topic: Education play a key role in producing
human resource for other fields. Explain.
Nowadays,
education is viewed as a vital key to success in life, and knowledge has become
every individual’s aim or concern. Each one of us is born in a different medium
and of different social and cultural norms; however, most of us approve of
education’s positive effects on society. Therefore, ‘Why do we need education?’
and ‘why do we think education is important?’ is the issue to tackle. To get a
better grip of this complex theme we have to distinguish the key role of
Education in producing human resources for other fields. To lead a successful
country we have to keep it on a standard level of education to be able to
impart the cultural heritage to the younger generations. We have a numbers of
reasons below to support and enlighten ours topic.
First we will look at the notion of education opening up job opportunities. It turns out that when parents send their children to school they are essentially seeking a 'secure future' for them, which basically means that their children upon getting educated would become eligible for salaried jobs. Even if they do not realize it, the societal norm, which compels them to have their children go to school, is guided by the same motivation. In fact, this pressure is so great that no parent can even think of doing otherwise. Considering that modern education system incurs some expenditure on the part of parents, it can easily be identified as a middle and upward class activity. Since the nature of such jobs is essentially of clerical type, there is almost no scope to exercise an individual's creativity. Most people, even those possessing highest of academic qualifications, cannot derive satisfaction out of their jobs. To compensate for the unproductive nature of jobs they have to be paid higher wages than can be earned otherwise.
This creates an economic gap
between the salaried class and the class of people who depend on their hard
labor and often engaged in production activities, which sustain the economy. It
is primarily this high salary level accompanied by the associated proximity to
ruling classes, which becomes the motivating factor for any parents taking a
decision to get their children educated. Since the education system is also
designed to produce merely a 'clerical' class, upon the completion of their
education programs the youth seek fixed salary and low risk secure jobs. With a
good education of the younger generation, the government takes care of the
progress in the development of the country. But a good education is not just
useful for the progress of the country; the aspiration for advancement lies in
the nature of every human creature. People wake up every morning with the goal
to make new experiences, which enriches their standard of life.
Another factor in today’s democratic
society is the people’s striving for the latest information. People in our
days do actually have the will to know what is going on in the world around
them, they want to know what the government needs all the tax money for, they
want to understand what a new law is supposed to mean and all this would be
impossible without a good formal education.
We live in an ever changing world. New technologies
keep coming up and if you don’t want to be left behind, you must keep up with
the world which is moving really fast. Without education it will be really
difficult for you to adapt to all these changes. An educated person is much
more aware of the latest technologies and all the changes that are
taking place in the world. For example, an uneducated person may not know about
the benefits of the internet whereas an educated person uses this gift of
technology regularly for work as well as for entertainment.
Illiteracy often breeds ignorance and this
ignorance may prove to be dangerous when it comes to healthcare.
Educated people know better about preventive methods which protect them from a
number of diseases. An illiterate and ignorant person is more likely to ignore
the symptoms and avoids seeking medical aid unless the problem becomes very
serious. Hence education enables you to take better care of yourself as well as
your family.
Everybody likes a wise and knowledgeable person!
Educated people are considered highly reputable in the society. The more
educated you are, the more respect you will get from those around you. An
educated person has more chances of landing up a good high paying job.
Everybody wants a good life but the good life! It may be called as the “root of
all evil” but most people will agree that money is important for survival in
today’s world. The more educated you are, the better career options you have!
If we want to see the world as a just and fair
place where everyone is given equal opportunities, education is what we
require. Education is a must if we want to do away with the existing
differences between different social classes and genders. It opens a
whole world of opportunities for the poor so that they may have an equal shot
at well-paying jobs. Education also plays a major role in women empowerment.
Education saves you from being exploited
and fooled. We live in a country where we enjoy a number of rights and
freedom. It is easier to take advantage of innocent and illiterate
people. They may be trapped into signing false documents or be deprived of some
right which they have because unlike an educated person they are not well aware
of their rights and freedoms.
We all live in a society which has its own
set spoken/unspoken rules and one of them is education. The society expects you
to go to school followed by college, get a job, settle down etc. In fact
education helps you become a useful member of the society. An educated member
certainly has a greater chance to contribute to his community. Education helps
you become an active member of the society and participate in the ongoing
changes and developments.
To
conclude, education is very essential and necessary for all nations that long
their countries to be transformed or improved. Therefore, having a prosperous
country, we must strongly consider on a standard level of education in our own
country. In fact, a country which consist of educated and knowledgeable people
will completely different from a country which contains a lot of illiterates,
for both countries will have different standard of living. Hence, educating
human resource to be cultivated people is really benefit out our own countries,
so human resource is a driving force to lead a country to be outstanding.
