What is education and why it is so important?

Why is education so important because it is a part of our life.  As Nelson Mandela said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Early Childhood and Higher Education Education is very important for success in life. Higher Education is important for the personal, social and economic development of the nation. Education is important to live with happiness and prosperity. Education empowers minds that will be able to conceive good thoughts and ideas. Education enables students to do the analysis while making life decisions. Life gives various survival challenges for humans. But education guide humans to fight with failure and success in life. Education is only one thing that can remove corruption, unemployment, and environmental problems. Education is not about doing a degree it is about how you can live with your own feet. Education helps to become good students, parents, entrepreneurs, doctors, siblings and honest citizens. Being in contact with an educated person and having an intelligent conversation with him expands knowledge and introduces a certain creativity and joy in the mind.

If we want to solve the global learning crisis, the first thing we should do is fill the teacher gaps because on current trends, some countries will not even be able to meet their primary school teacher needs. And attract the best candidates to teaching, it is important for all children to have teachers with at least a good secondary-level qualification. Studies have found—not at all surprisingly—that underqualified teachers are tied to poor outcomes for students. The good news is that this is one of the most straightforward areas where policy makers can have an impact. They must clarify standards for teachers seeking licenses and raise standards in areas where student outcomes are lowest, according to School of Education.We also need to train teachers and prepare teacher educators and mentors to support teachers. To ensure that teachers have the best training to improve learning for all children, it is important for those who train teachers to have knowledge and experience of real classroom teaching challenges and how to tackle them.

Teacher is the most important role in education. We need to get teachers to where they are needed most. And use a competitive career and pay structure to retain the best teachers because governments should ensure that teachers earn at least enough to lift their families above the poverty line and make their pay competitive with comparable professions. The most important is that equip teachers with innovative curricula to improve learning and develop classroom assessments to help teachers identify and support students at risk of not learning. Classroom-based assessments are vital tools to identify and help learners who are struggling.
