Education, it is

Education is a weapon to improve one’s life. It is probably the most important tool to change one’s life. Education for a child begins at home. It is a lifelong process that ends with death. Education certainly determines the quality of an individual’s life. Education improves one’s knowledge, skills and develops the personality and attitude. Most noteworthy, Education affects the chances of employment for people. A highly educated individual is probably very likely to get a good job.

First of all, Education teaches the ability to read and write. Reading and writing is the first step in Education. Most information is done by writing. Hence, the lack of writing skill means missing out on a lot of information. Consequently, Education makes people literate.

Above all, Education is extremely important for employment. It certainly is a great opportunity to make a decent living. This is due to the skills of a high paying job that Education provides. Uneducated people are probably at a huge disadvantage when it comes to jobs. It seems like many poor people improve their lives with the help of Education. Better Communication is yet another role in Education. Education improves and refines the speech of a person. Furthermore, individuals also improve other means of communication with Education. Education makes an individual a better user of technology. Education certainly provides the technical skills necessary for using technology. Hence, without Education, it would probably be difficult to handle modern machines. People become more mature with the help of Education. Sophistication enters the life of educated people. Above all, Education teaches the value of discipline to individuals. Educated people also realize the value of time much more. To educated people, time is equal to money.

Finally, Education enables individuals to express their views efficiently. Educated individuals can explain their opinions in a clear manner. Hence, educated people are quite likely to convince people to their point of view.

There are some people that throw away their education. They are given the right to it, a right that was fought with the blood of their ancestors, and they throw it away because it is not fun and it is inconvenient. Their discarding of their education is no reason why the right should be revoked. Some people do not know a good thing when they have it, and their ignorance will only spread if people are denied the right to education. The right to an education should be present so that people can make a choice as to whether they exercise that right.

Ignorance will only spread further if people are not shown how to make informed decisions. Education teaches people how to learn and conduct their own studies. It teaches people how to think critically and shows how the life choices of other people have led to bad situations. An education can teach all of this to a child so that the child need not live in ignorance all of his or her life. It is my belief that equal education for every child in the Philippines is a right and not a privilege.

There are poor children that grow up in the Philippines without the resources that other children in the Philippines have. Some children have to worry about whether or not they will have a meal to eat, whether or not they have clothes to wear to school, and whether or not they are focused enough to obtain a valuable education. School not only provides them an outlet to some of their problems, it also allows them to grow into well-rounded adults. With equal education to every child in

Philippines, each child has the resources to contribute to their society. Education is a right, and not a privilege. People have the right to an education, and choosing to exercise that right is up to them. There is also the fact that ignorance will spread and people will not develop into thinking adults without the benefit of education. Results based education systems may miss this point, but education can lead to a person learning how to think critically and learning how to make informed adult decisions.
