கல்வியால் தாழ்ந்தவர்கள் என்று கூறுமளவிற்கு எவருமில்லை. கல்வியால் உயர்ந்தவர்கள் மட்டுமே உள்ளனர்.

குறிப்புச் சட்டகம்

• கல்வியின் சிறப்பு

கல்வியின் முக்கியத்துவம்

கல்வியின் பயன்கள், கல்வியால் உயர்ந்தவர்கள்.

இன்றைய உலகில் இன்றியமையாத ஒன்றாகத் திகழ்வது யாதெனில் கல்வியே ஆகும். கல்வியின் சிறப்பினைத் திருவள்ளுவர் “கண்ணுடையர் என்பவர் கற்றோர் முகத்திரண்டு புண்ணுடையர் கல்லாதவர்” என வலியுறுத்துகின்றார்.

இன்றைய காலகட்டத்தில் எந்தச் சமூகத்தைச் சேர்ந்தவராக இருந்தாலும் கல்வி கற்பதில் இருந்து விலகிச்செல்வது அரிதாகவே காணப்படுகின்றது. மனிதனாகப் பிறப்பது அரிது அரிதான அப்புறப்பினைப் பெற்றுவிட்டால் கல்விச் செல்வத்தைப் பெற்றுக் கொள்வது சிறப்பு.

கல்வியின் மூலம் ஒருவரது வாழ்வில் சிறப்பை பெற முடியும். கல்வியின் சிறப்பினை இக்கட்டுரையில் காண்போம்.

கற்றவருக்கச் சென்ற இடமெல்லாம் சிறப்பு என்பர். செல்வங்களில் சிறந்த செல்வம் கல்விச் செல்வம் ஆகும். இத்தகைய உயர்ந்த செல்வத்தை அடைந்து கொள்ள எந்த செல்வங்களையும் இழக்கலாம். ஆனால் கல்விச் செல்வத்தினை எக்காரணத்திற்காகவும் இழக்கக் கூடாது.

கல்விச் செல்வம் நெருப்பினால் வேகாது, வெள்ளத்தால் அழியாது, கள்வர்களால் திருட முடியாது. கல்வியானது மனிதனை சிறந்த ஒழுக்கம் உள்ளவனாக மாற்றுகின்றது. மிருகக் குணங்களில் இருந்து வேறுபடுத்துகின்றது.

ஒருவர் கற்ற கல்வியானது பலருக்கும் பயன் தரும். கல்விதான் ஒருவனை அறிவாளியாக்குகின்றது. கற்றவர்கள் தமது நாடு ஊர் அல்லாது எங்கு சென்றாலும் அது அவர்களது நாடாகும்.

“பிச்சை புகினும் கற்கை நன்றே” என்று ஒளவையார் கூறுகின்றார். அதாவது எவ்வளவு கடினபட்டாலும் கல்வியை பெற்றுவிட வேண்டும் என்பதையே அவர் வலியுறுத்துகின்றார். இதன் மூலம் ஆதிகாலம் தொட்டே கல்வியின் முக்கியத்துவம் வெளிப்படுவதை அறியலாம்.

நாட்டின் அபிவிருத்தியை முன்னோக்கிக் கொண்டு செல்லவும், வறுமையைப் போக்கவும் கல்வி மிகமிக முக்கியமானதாகும். உலகை மாற்றக்கூடிய சக்தி கல்விக்கு உண்டு. நல்லவை, தீயவை என பிரித்தறிந்து வாழ்வில் நலம் பெற கல்வி முக்கியமானதாகும்.

கல்வி கற்பதன் மூலம் எல்லா வளங்களும் கிடைக்கும். கல்வியால் வாழ்க்கையில் எதிர்ப்படும் இடர்களையெல்லாம் வெல்லமுடியும். மனபயத்தினை போக்கும் வல்லமை கல்விக்கு உண்டு. கல்வியானது வறுமையில் கைகொடுக்கும். கல்வியின் பயனே மனித வாழ்வின் பெரும் பேறாகும். கல்வியானது நிலையானது வாழ்வில் எப்போதும் தொடரக்கூடிய ஓர் செல்வமாகும்.

இளமையில் கல்வி கற்கும் போது கல்வியானது நம்மை உயர்ந்த நிலைக்கு இட்டுச் செல்லும், உயர் பதவிகளையும் பெற்று தரும். இதன் மூலம் பொருளாதார ரீதியாகவும், சமூக ரீதியாகவும் வாழ்க்கைத் தரத்தை உயர்வடையச் செய்யலாம்.

கல்வியால் தாழ்ந்தவர்கள் என்று கூறுமளவிற்கு எவருமில்லை. கல்வியால் பல்வேறுபட்ட நபர்கள் உயர்வடைந்துள்ளனர். அப்துல் கலாம், அம்பேத்கர், சுந்தர் பிச்சை, கல்பனா சாவ்லா போன்ற பலர் கல்வியால் உயர்வு அடைந்தவர்களாவர். இவர்கள் அனைவரும் எமக்கு ஒர் முன்னுதாரணமானவர்கள்.

இவர்கள் சிறுவயதிலிருந்தே கல்வி மேல் கொண்ட ஆர்வமே இவர்களை உலகம் கொண்டாடும் மனிதர்கள் ஆக்கியுள்ளது. சிறந்த கல்வி மனிதனை உயர் இடத்திற்கு இட்டுச் செல்லும் என்பதனை இவர்கள் மூலம் நாம் அறிய முடிகின்றது.

உலகின் விலைமதிப்பற்ற அழியாச் செல்வமான கல்வியினை நாம் அடைவதற்கு பாடுபடவேண்டும். நாம் பெற்ற கல்வியை நம் வாழ்க்கையில் கடைப்பிடித்து ஒழுகல் நன்று.

கல்வியினைப் பெறுவது அனைவரதும் உரிமையாகும். உரிமைகளை விட்டுக் கொடுக்காமல் கல்வியினை ஆர்வத்துடன் சிறுவயதிலிருந்தே கற்க வேண்டும்.

கற்ற கல்வியை அனைவரிடமும் பகிர்ந்து கொள்ள வேண்டும். பிறப்பிலும் இறப்பிலும் கூடவே வரும் கல்விச் செல்வத்தை அடைந்து வாழ்வில் வளம் பெறுவோம்.

Importance of Value Education: Aim, Types, Purpose, Methods

Importance of Value Education Overview

Value-based education places an emphasis on helping students develop their personalities so they can shape their future and deal with challenges with ease. It shapes children to effectively carry out their social, moral, and democratic responsibilities while becoming sensitive to changing circumstances. The importance of value education can be understood by looking at its advantages in terms of how it helps students grow physically and emotionally, teaches manners and fosters a sense of brotherhood, fosters a sense of patriotism, and fosters religious tolerance. 

"Value education" is the process through which people impart moral ideals to one another. Powney et al. define it as an action that can occur in any human organization. During this time, people are assisted by others, who may be older, in a condition they experience in order to make explicit our ethics, assess the effectiveness of these values and associated behaviors for their own and others' long-term well-being, and reflect on and acquire other values and behaviors that they recognize as being more effective for their own and others' long-term well-being. There is a distinction to be made between literacy and education.

Importance of Value Education: Goals and Objectives

This notion refers to the educational process of instilling moral norms in order to foster more peaceful and democratic communities. Values education, therefore, encourages tolerance and understanding beyond our political, cultural, and religious differences, with a specific emphasis on the defense of human rights, the protection of ethnic minorities and vulnerable groups, and environmental conservation.

Value education ought to be integrated into the educational process rather than being considered a separate academic field. The value of value education can be understood from many angles. The following are some reasons why value education is essential in the modern world-

• It aids in making the right choices in challenging circumstances, enhancing decision-making skills.
• It cultivates important values in students, such as kindness, compassion, and empathy.
• Children's curiosity is sparked, their values and interests are developed, and this further aids in students' skill development.
• Additionally, it promotes a sense of brotherhood and patriotism, which helps students become more accepting of all cultures and religions.
• Due to the fact that they are taught about the proper values and ethics, it gives students' lives a positive direction.
• It aids students in discovering their true calling in life—one that involves giving back to society and striving to improve themselves.
• A wide range of responsibilities come with getting older. Occasionally, this can create a sense of meaninglessness, which increases the risk of mental health disorders, midlife crises, and growing dissatisfaction with one's life. Value education seeks to fill a void in peoples' lives in some small way.
• Additionally, people are more convinced and dedicated to their goals and passions when they learn about the importance of values in society and their own lives. This causes the emergence of awareness, which then produces deliberate and fruitful decisions. 
• The critical role of value in highlighting the execution of the act and the significance of its value, education is highlighted. It instils a sense of ‘meaning' behind what one is supposed to do and thus aids in personality development.

Importance of Value Education: Purpose 

Value education is significant on many levels in the modern world. It is essential to ensure that moral and ethical values are instilled in children throughout their educational journey and even after.

The main goals of value education are as follows:

• To make sure that a child's personality development is approached holistically, taking into account their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs
• Instilling a sense of patriotism and good citizenship values
• Educating students about the value of brotherhood at the social, national, and global levels
• Fostering politeness, accountability, and cooperation
• Fostering a sense of curiosity and inquiry about orthodox practices
• Teaching students how to make moral decisions and how to make good decisions
• Encouraging a democratic outlook and way of life
• Teaching students the value of tolerance and respect for people of all cultures and religions.

• To make a positive contribution to society through good living and trust. 
• Moral education, personality education, ethics, and philosophy have all attempted to accomplish similar goals. 
• Character education in the United States refers to six character education programs in schools that try to teach key values such as friendliness, fairness, and social justice while also influencing students' behavior and attitudes.

Importance of value education: types , cultural value.

Cultural values are concerned with what is right and wrong, good and evil, as well as conventions and behavior. Language, ethics, social hierarchy, aesthetics, education, law, economics, philosophy, and many social institutions all reflect cultural values.

Moral Value

Ethical principles include respecting others' and one's own authority, keeping commitments, avoiding unnecessary conflicts with others, avoiding cheating and dishonesty, praising people and making them work, and encouraging others. 

Personal Values

Personal values include whatever a person needs in social interaction. Personal values include beauty, morality, confidence, self-motivation, regularity, ambition, courage, vision, imagination, and so on.

Spiritual Value

Spiritual worth is the greatest moral value. Purity, meditation, yoga, discipline, control, clarity, and devotion to God are examples of spiritual virtues.

Spiritual value education emphasizes self-discipline concepts. satisfaction with self-discipline, absence of wants, general greed, and freedom from seriousness.

Social Value

A person cannot exist in the world unless they communicate with others. People are looking for social values such as love, affection, friendship, noble groups, reference groups, impurity, hospitality, courage, service, justice, freedom, patience, forgiveness, coordination, compassion, tolerance, and so on.

Universal Value

The perception of the human predicament is defined by universal ideals. We identify ourselves with mankind and the universe through universal ideals. Life, joy, fraternity, love, sympathy, service, paradise, truth, and eternity are examples of universal values.

Importance of Value Education in School

The inclusion of value education in school curricula is crucial because it teaches students the fundamental morals they need to develop into good citizens and individuals. Here are the top reasons why valuing education in school is important:

• Their future can be significantly shaped and their ability to discover their true calling in life can be helped by value education.
• Every child's education begins in school, so incorporating value-based education into the curriculum can aid students in learning the most fundamental moral principles from the very beginning of their academic careers.
• Value education can also be taught in schools with a stronger emphasis on teaching human values than memorizing theories, concepts, and formulas to get better grades. The fundamentals of human values can thus be taught to students through the use of storytelling in value education.
• Without the study of human values that can make every child a more kind, compassionate, and empathic person and foster emotional intelligence in every child, education would undoubtedly fall short.

Importance of Value Education in Personal Life

We all understand the value of education in our lives in this competitive world; it plays a crucial part in molding our lives and personalities. Education is critical for obtaining a good position and a career in society; it not only improves our personalities but also advances us psychologically, spiritually, and intellectually. A child's childhood ambitions include becoming a doctor, lawyer, or IAS official. Parents desire to picture their children as doctors, lawyers, or high-ranking officials. This is only achievable if the youngster has a good education. As a result, we may infer that education is extremely essential in our lives and that we must all work hard to obtain it in order to be successful.

How Does Value Education Help in Attaining Life Goals?

Education in values is crucial for a person's growth. In many ways, it benefits them. Through value education, you can achieve all of your life goals, and here's how:

• It helps students know how to shape their future and even helps them understand the meaning of life.
• It teaches them how to live their lives in the most advantageous way for both themselves and those around them.
• In addition to helping students understand life's perspective more clearly and live successful lives as responsible citizens, value education also helps students become more and more responsible and sensible.
• Additionally, it aids students in forging solid bonds with their relatives and friends.
• enhances the students' personality and character.
• Value-based education helps students cultivate a positive outlook on life.

What are the types of value education opportunities? 

After understanding the significance of this important topic, the next step is choosing the type that best meets your needs. The teaching of values can start at a young age (in primary school) and continue through higher education and beyond. Understanding the various opportunities available to you will make it easy to find the right fit. 

Early Age Training

Value education is now being taught in many primary, middle, and high schools all over the world. The best way to learn the skills taught in this training is to be taught how important it is from a young age. 

Student Exchange Programs

One of the best ways to teach students about values and foster a sense of responsibility in them is through student exchange or gap year programs. Student exchange programs are another exceptional way to experience various cultures and broaden your understanding of how people behave and function. This is a fantastic chance for first- and second-year undergraduate students.  

Workshops for Adults 

People who are four to five years into their careers frequently show signs of irritation, unhappiness, fatigue, and burnout, which is a worrying statistic worth noting. As a result, the relevance and significance of education for adults is a notion that is currently steadily gaining support within the global community. 

Methods of Teaching Value Education

Teaching value education can be done using a variety of methodologies and techniques. Four of the many are the most frequently used. They are

• Methods used in classroom instruction include direct instruction, group discussions, reading, listening, and other activities.
• This method includes a practical description of the strategies. It is an activity-based method. This practical knowledge improves learning abilities and helps people live practical lives on their own.
• Socialized techniques: These involve the learner participating in real-world activities and encounters that simulate the roles and issues that socialization agents face.
• The incident learning approach enables the examination of a particular event or encounter in the history of a particular group.

A Moral Education: Give, Eat, and Live: Poems of Avvaiyar

Give, Eat, and Live: Poems of Avvaiyar TRANSLATED FROM THE TAMIL BY Thomas H. Pruiksma (Red Hen Press, 2009)

M oral instruction is one of poetry’s oldest functions, but it is often hard for modern poets to muster the confidence that earlier writers must have felt, both about their own wisdom and their position in society, to tell us how to live. So it can be startling to encounter an unknown work that speaks directly to us with this lost confidence. Here is a poem by the 12th century Tamil poet Avvaiyar, in Thomas H. Pruiksma’s beautiful translations of her short, aphoristic poems:

There is a sense of authority here usually found only in sacred texts. But unlike the other ancient Indian poets who have been translated into English — Kabir and Mirabai, for example — Avvaiyar’s work is not primarily devotional or mystical. These poems are plain and durable, suitable for everyday use. They deal with the basics: the body’s desires, dealing with adversity, how to spot a true friend.

Very little is known about the woman who wrote these untitled, numbered poems — even her name, Avvaiyar, is only a polite way of saying “older woman,” and there is even an earlier Tamil poet who is given the same honorific.

The stories that exist about her life are apparently unreliable. One can learn a few things from reading the poems: she was clearly devout, well-traveled, and intimately acquainted with the natural world. She was also proud of her role as a poet, and her rare hints of ill-temper come when discussing “Idiots / without learning,” on whom knowledge and art are wasted. An ignorant man who learns a great poem, she writes, is like a turkey who sees a forest peacock and “spreads his ugly wings / And struts.”

Her warnings, it seems, have not scared many people away. The introduction tells us that “everyone in Tamil Nadu who can read has read her poems.” Children grow up learning the alphabet through her acrostic poems, and then move on to the quatrains translated in this book. Many adults, the translator tells us, never forget them — not just because of early training, I suspect, but because they are worth remembering. Unlike ossified precepts in English like “A friend in need is a friend indeed,” they retain their power to reach us, and grow with thought.

Look at the two poems quoted above, for example. You’ll notice that they appear to be recommending exactly contradictory courses of action. Should you try to help apparently bad people or not? If the poet’s only intention is to instruct children, she is not doing her job in straightforward fashion. Read the poems again, though, and the dissonance becomes more complex. A tree does not have a choice in granting people shade. Is the poet implying that wisdom consists in cultivating this higher indifference, this refusal to discriminate between individual merits, even in the face of the axe? Also, a tiger is not necessarily “doing wrong” by eating a person, but simply following its nature — who, then, is responsible for what occurs, the doctor or the tiger?

These reflections grow fruitfully as you absorb more of the verses. Since similar images, often from the natural world, fill many of Avvaiyar’s poems – the broken clay pitcher appears again, as well as other animals dangerous to man — constellations of opposing concepts, all vividly rendered, begin to interact with each other in the reader’s mind. Eventually I saw that Avvaiyar was not merely confused, but that, like all great artists, she was giving us tools to think about how to resolve these apparent contradictions, or exist happily between them. This is the same sort of education that collections of folklore once gave to the communities that created them: simple moral tales that are never outgrown because they are finally as profound as a person’s desire to think about them.

I do not know a single character of Tamil, so I cannot judge the accuracy of these translations. Pruiksma has, at least, a beautiful sense of where to break lines, and how to use a vocabulary that suits the era and culture of these poems — “upright,” for example, instead of “righteous,” which would have the wrong associations in English. And his lines have a purity and flow – the delicate assonance of “runs-rice-wayside,” in the poem above, that mirrors the movement of the water — which help place them quickly in the memory. Further, although this may seem like faint praise, Give, Eat, and Live is the only set of translations easily available in English. Since Avvaiyar strikes me as a poet of world stature, whose best verses merit a place beside the Tao Te Ching or the Dhammapada , Pruiksma deserves our thanks for giving her to us in any form at all.

The only possible complaint is that this is a slim collection which does not contain the totality of Avvaiyar’s work. If you subtract the facing Tamil pages, there are only about twenty pages of poetry. But Avvaiyar has already written a response to my petty concern:

AVVAIYAR is thought to have lived in the 12th century, but very little is known about her life. Among her works are the Atticuti, an alphabetical acrostic still used to teach children, and the quatrains in the Muturai and the Nalvali, which are translated in this collection.

THOMAS H. PRUIKSMA is a writer, poet, and translator from Seattle, Washington. His other books include A Feast for the Tongue: Forty Servings of Spoken Tamil with Helpings of Equally Spoken English, (co-authored with Dr. K.V. Ramakoti, Oberlin Shansi, 2002), and The Body and the Earth: Notes from a Conversation, (co-authored with the artist C.F. John). He currently lives on Vashon Island.

AKSHAY AHUJA grew up in New Delhi and Maryland. His writing has appeared or is forthcoming in Guernica, The Gettysburg Review, The Baltimore Review, and Ploughshares , among others. He lives in Boston and blogs occasionally at The Occasional Review .

கல்விக்கு மதிப்பு சேர்த்தல் (Value education in tamil)

பூஜ்ய ஸ்ரீ ஸ்ரீ ரவிசங்கர் அவர்களின் அருளுரை.

இந்த உலகில் கடவுளைத் தவிர வேறெதுவுமே இல்லை.  கடவுள் என்னும் சொல்லைப் பயன்படுத்த விருப்பமில்லையெனில், ஆற்றல் அல்லது அறிவுத்திறம் என்று நீங்கள் கூறலாம்.  அனைத்திலும்  படைப்பின் அடிப்படை உள்ளது. அது ஒன்று மட்டுமே; ஒரே சூரியன்தான், ஆனால் எந்த ஜன்னல் வழியாகவும் காண முடியும்.

பல தீர்க்கதரிசிகள் இவ்வுலகிற்கு  வந்து  மறைந்திருக்கின்றார்கள். அவர்கள் அனைவருமே ஜன்னல்கள் போலவே இருந்திருக்கின்றனர். எந்த ஜன்னல் வழியாகவும், நீங்கள் ஒரே சூரியனை, ஒரே வானத்தினைக் காணலாம். சுவற்றிற்குப் பின்னால் தெரியும் அதே வானம் ஜன்னல் வழியாகவும் தெரியும். இறைவன் அனைவரிடமும்  உள்ளார். நாய்கள், பூனைகள், மரங்கள், இலைகள் மற்றும் எறும்புகளில் கூட,  படைப்பின் எல்லாவற்றிலும்  இறைவன் உள்ளார்.  ஜன்னல் வழியாகத் தெரியும் எதையும் நீங்கள் தவறவிட முடியாது ஏனெனில் ஜன்னல் வெளிப்படையானது. அது போன்று, அந்த அன்பும் அந்த மௌனமும் தவற விட முடியாதவை. அனைத்தும் ஒன்றே.

சொற்களின் நோக்கம் நாம் பயன்படுத்தும் அனைத்து சொற்கள் நாம் பேசும் பேச்சு, அனைத்தும், நமது இதயத்தில் அன்பையும் மௌனத்தையும் உருவாக்குவதற்குத்தான்.  நமது சொற்கள் மற்றவர்களின்  மனதில் வேதனையை ஏற்படுத்துமானால், அந்த சொற்கள் உண்மையில் தங்களது பணியை சரியாக நிறைவேற்றவில்லை.  அவை சரியான பாதையில் இல்லை.

நாம் எவ்வாறு இந்த இதய மௌனத்தினை அடைய முடியும்?  நன்றியுடன் இருங்கள். அது கடினமானதாக இருந்தால், தியானம், சில சுவாச நுட்பங்கள், மனதை  அமைதிப் படுத்தும் பயிற்சிகள் ஆகியவற்றைச் செய்யுங்கள். நீங்கள் முணுமுணுப்புடன் மகிழ்ச்சியின்றி இருக்கும்போது நீங்கள் நன்றியுடன் இருக்க முடியாது, அல்லவா? ஆனால் நீங்கள் அந்த நிலைமையைப்  பற்றிய விழிப்புணர்வுடன் இருக்கலாம். அதுவே முதல் படி.  மனம் முணுமுணுத்துக் கொண்டிருக்கும்போது அவ்வாறு செய்வதையே கூட, மனம் உணராமல் இருக்கலாம்.  முதல் படி  அதைப் பற்றிய விழிப்புணர்வுடன் இருப்பது.  அடுத்தது, உங்களிடம் இருப்பவை பற்றிய விழிப்புணர்வுடன் இருப்பது.  அப்போது மனம் நன்றியில் நிறையும். பின்னர் அனைத்துக் குறைகளும் மறைந்து விடும். நீங்கள் மிக எளிமையாகவும், இயல்பாகவும், மிக்க அன்புடனும்,  விடுதலையுணர்வுள்ளவராகவும் ஆவீர்கள்.

கடவுளின் விளக்கம் என்ன? கடவுள் எங்கும் எல்லாவற்றிலும் நீக்கமற நிறைந்துள்ளவர் என்பதாகும். என்னிடம், உங்களிடம் அனைவரிடமும் நிறைந்துள்ளவர். ஆனால் மனம் அழுத்தமுற்று இருக்கும் போது கடவுளை உணர்ந்தறிய முடியாது. கண்ணாடி வெளிப்படையாக இல்லையெனில் , ஜன்னல்கள் திறக்கப் பட வில்லையெனில், சூரியனைக் காண முடியாது.

தியானம், சுவாச மற்றும் பிராணாயாமப் பயிற்சிகள் செய்வது மன ஜன்னல்களைச் சுத்தப் படுத்த, அனைத்து அழுத்தங்களையும் அகற்ற, மற்றும் நீங்கள்  அற்புதமாக உணரப் பெரிதும் உதவும்.  உங்கள் மனதில் நன்றி விதைகளை விதைத்து, உங்களை மிக உயர்ந்த நிலையினை அடையச்  செய்யும்.

Educational Ideas in Moral Tamil Literature

• Mohamed Azrin S + −

Plum Analytics

In the Pathinenkilkanakku collection of books that arose in order to uphold righteousness, and in the moral books that followed them, the poets have expounded educational thoughts with interesting songs. Our forefathers have sung songs in Tamil texts even before western scholars have spoken about the importance of education. The kings of the Sangam age ruled the country with the help of learned men. An uneducated person, even if he had acquired a great deal of wealth, was treated with contempt. The authors of the moral books, who know the importance of education, have not only mentioned righteousness in their books but have also praised education in many songs. Thus, the songs of the poets of the moral book become the subject of study under the categories of merits of education, method of obtaining education, method of education, mode of expressing education, and the status of the unlearned.

• Essay on Importance of Education

Importance of Education Essay

Education is one of the key components for an individual’s success. It has the ability to shape one’s life in the right direction. Education is a process of imparting or acquiring knowledge, and developing the powers of reasoning and judgement. It prepares growing children intellectually for a life with more mature understanding and sensitivity to issues surrounding them. It improves not only the personal life of the people but also their community. Thus, one cannot neglect the significance of Education in life and society. Here, we have provided an essay on the Importance of Education. Students can use this essay to prepare for their English exam or as a speech to participate in the school competition.

Importance of Education

The importance of education in life is immense. It facilitates quality learning for people throughout their life. It inculcates knowledge, belief, skill, values and moral habits. It improves the way of living and raises the social and economic status of individuals. Education makes life better and more peaceful. It transforms the personality of individuals and makes them feel confident.

Well said by Nelson Mandela, “Education is the most powerful weapon to change the world”. To elaborate, it is the foundation of the society which brings economic wealth, social prosperity and political stability. It gives power to people to put their views and showcase their real potential. It strengthens democracy by providing citizens with the tools to participate in the governance process. It acts as an integrative force to foster social cohesion and national identity.

In India, education is a constitutional right of every citizen. So, people of any age group, religion, caste, creed and region are free to receive education. An educated person is respected everywhere and well-treated in society. As a kid, every child dreams of being a doctor, lawyer, engineer, actor, sportsperson, etc. These dreams can come true through education. So, investment in education gives the best return. Well-educated people have more opportunities to get a better job which makes them feel satisfied.

In schools, education is divided into different levels, i.e., preschool, primary, secondary and senior secondary. School education comprises traditional learning which provides students with theoretical knowledge. However, now various efforts are being made to establish inbuilt application-based learning by adding numerous experiments, practicals and extracurricular activities to the school curriculum. Students learn to read, write and represent their viewpoints in front of others. Also, in this era of digital Education, anyone can easily access information online at their fingertips. They can learn new skills and enhance their knowledge.

Steps Taken By Government To Promote Education

Education is evidently an important aspect that no government can ignore in order to ensure the equitable development of a nation. Unfortunately, some children still do not have access to education. The Government has thereby taken initiatives to improve education quality and made it accessible to everyone, especially the poor people.

The Government passed the Right to Education Act 2009 (RTE Act 2009) on 4 August 2009. This Act came into effect on 1 April 2010, following which education has become the fundamental right of every child in India. It provides free and compulsory elementary education to children of the age group of 6-14 years in a neighbourhood school within 1 km, up to Class 8 in India. On similar lines, there are other schemes launched by the government, such as Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan , Mid-Day Meal , Adult Education and Skill Development Scheme, National Means cum Merit Scholarship Scheme, National Program for Education of Girls at Elementary Education, Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya, Scheme for Infrastructure Development in Minority Institutions, Beti Bachao , Beti Padhao, etc.

For our country’s growth, we require a well-educated population equipped with the relevant knowledge, attitude and skills. This can be achieved by spreading awareness about the importance of Education in rural areas. There is a famous saying that “If we feed one person, we will eliminate his hunger for only one time. But, if we educate a person, we will change his entire life”. Henceforth he will become capable of earning a livelihood by himself.

This essay on the Importance of Education must have helped students to improve their writing section for the English exam. They can also practice essays on other topics by visiting the CBSE Essay page. Keep learning and stay tuned with BYJU’S for the latest updates on CBSE/ICSE/State Board/Competitive Exams.

Frequently Asked Questions on Education Essay

How can the literacy rate in india be increased.

People in rural areas must be informed about the importance of providing education to their children. Also, with the COVID-19 situation, the government should take steps by providing laptops/phones for children to follow online classes.

Are girl children still denied their right to get educated?

Although awareness has now improved, there are still many villages in India where girl children are not provided with proper education or allowed to enrol themselves in schools. This mentality has to change for the betterment of the society.

Teaching subjects/academics alone is enough, or should students be introduced to other forms of educational activities too?

Extracurricular activities, moral value education, etc., are also as important as regular academic teachings.

Value of Education Essay

500 words essay on value of education.

Education is a weapon for the people by which they can live a high-quality life. Furthermore, education makes people easy to govern but at the same time it makes them impossible to be enslaved. Let us take a look at the incredible importance of education with this value of education essay.

                                                                                                                        Value Of Education Essay

Importance of Education

Education makes people independent. Furthermore, it increases knowledge, strengthens the mind, and forms character. Moreover, education enables people to put their potentials to optimum use.

Education is also a type of reform for the human mind. Without education, the training of the human mind would always remain incomplete.

Education makes a person an efficient decision-maker and a right thinker. Moreover, this is possible only with the help of education. This is because education acquaints an individual with knowledge of the world around him and beyond, besides teaching the individual to be a better judge of the present.

A person that receives education shall have more avenues for the life of his choice. Moreover, an educated person will be able to make decisions in the best possible manner. This is why there is such a high demand for educated people over uneducated people for the purpose of employment .

Negative Impact of Lack of Education

Without education, a person would feel trapped. One can understand this by the example of a man who is confined to a closed room, completely shut from the outside world, with no way to exit it. Most noteworthy, an uneducated person can be compared to this confined man.

Education enables a person to access the open world. Furthermore, a person without education is unable to read and write. Consequently, a person without education would remain closed to all the knowledge and wisdom an educated person can gain from books and other mediums.

The literacy rate of India stands at around 60% in comparison to more than 80% literacy rate of the rest of the world. Moreover, the female literacy rate is 54.16% in accordance with the 2001 population census. These figures certainly highlight the massive problem of lack of education in India.

To promote education, the government of India takes it as a national policy. The intention of the government is to target the very cause of illiteracy. As such, the government endeavours to eradicate illiteracy, which in turn would lead to the eradication of poverty .

The government is running various literacy programmes like the free-education programme, weekend and part-time study programme, continuing education programme, mid-day meal programme, adult literacy programme, etc. With the consistent success rate of these programmes, hopefully, things will better.
