Topic > The Importance of Education - 1003

Education plays a vital role in shaping the leaders of tomorrow. Not only can we become a better nation by acquiring the skills necessary to be productive members of a civil society. Increase knowledge to reach and actively address challenges that can produce productive changes to achieve business innovations, political and economic goals. Our world is constantly changing and requires a society that is adept at understanding issues arising from cultural differences and tolerance of each other's beliefs and perceptions. We are dealing with systemic problems in education, economics, government, religion and cultural differences. To quote a phrase from Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz, “Make me the master of education and I will undertake to change the world.” If we want to change the world simply because we have and continue to acquire the education necessary to increase knowledge; we must never forget that education without the practice of inducing what is learned is not sufficient to produce achievable outcomes conducive to sustaining a society in the 21st century. We must become the voice of the people by striving to make a difference in the world by putting into motion what we have learned. When I was little, I remember going to primary school, learning a new language seemed to be difficult at first, but I was able to learn the English language thanks to the dedication of one of my teachers. Now, as I reflect on this experience, it is obvious that he was dedicated and enjoyed teaching his students to succeed. Today I know it made a difference in my life as I moved through my educational experience and high school years to the present. I also experience the lack of concern from other teachers, who do not take the time and dedication to teach their students to excel. In part, I firmly believe this was due to the cultural differences that existed within the schools I attended and the neighborhood in which I grew up. At times, I felt that being part of a minority group created an environment where I perceived that teachers did not care about my educational needs or success in life. Today we have made great strides in improving our education system in our schools. However, we face similar and perhaps even worse problems when teachers are rushing their students to complete their curriculum without taking the time to encourage and support them to excel in their classes..
