What are some quotes about education?

Answer 1

education these days is at priority.We have to be literate to cope up with the world. these day competition is so much that if one is not properly tutored he may face struggle in his future.

in olden days, the way of teaching was very different from now. teaching methods were not very friendly thus children found books uninteresting and got problems in understanding . even the technology didn't supported education so much earlier.

but theses days many new ways of teaching have emerged out. classrooms have smart boards instead of blackboards and even the textbooks are made with many diagrams so as to make it easier to understand. but even in this new era most of the people in India are uneducated because of poverty and also discrimination. the government is trying to implement that poor should get free education but still young children who are the future of india are missing this opportunity.going to school should not refer to one's age and gender as it is everyone's right. education is also very important because it gives the chance of stand up to one which makes him independent.

if everyone gets educated india's literacy rate can also improve as one is called educated only on passing class III. secondly, in india the schools for specially abled children are very limited and teacher as well as schools are not good enough to make these children independent hence these kids should also be given chance of doing something.

as said before, education is everyone's right so we should try to put our foot forward to help these people and give them chance to help someone.

"Education, we see, is not merely gaining knowledge or skills helpful toward productive work, though certainly that is a part of it.
