Because people do not understand the aim of education,,Education in school and uni.s is not only giving information (that is more in schools) , but mainly it teachs the person HOW to get information,,millions of books are there everywhere full of information (plus internet  ...etc), what ment by education is to enable the person to get the information and use it to solve a problem..(of course I am not talking about the basics)

Well man needed to learn so that this world would be better. Like if people did not learn you would not have a computer or anything that you use your brain with. I wish that we did not have to go to school. But hey that is what learning is all about. To succeed in life.

Absolutely!! It is a "gud." However, if you need to demonstrate you are educated, look elsewhere.

Are you asking about the word "education"? Most people I know pronounce it exactly like it is spelled. There are a lot of people out there who can't pronounce or spell a lot of common words though.

I believe it is more laziness than lack of education in this matter

Depends on how you define education. Unfortunately, many people do just give up. One more reason we need to overhaul the education system in this country!

I think poor communities get better educational opportunities than many recognize or are willing to acknowledge. The problem, I think, is that most in those communities don't want to do the work that is involved in getting a good education. It is easier to fail and blame it on outside forces, than to admit you need to work harder to succeed. Until those in the poor communities realize that the power to succeed is within themselves, poor communities will continue to be poor with succeeding generations.

It is not so much the knowledge itself that you learn from a college degree that is important.  It is the maturing process of learning how to learn, and where and how to find information if you don't know it.  Getting a college degree broadens the mind and gives one a different perspective on life.

Education is not but definitely knowledge is. It does not matter if u have a degree or not but u need to have gr8 knowledge if u wanna excel in ur field.\n\nU choose ur field, the things which interest u the most in life and then try to be master of those things by reading books, discussing with ppl. in the same field ie. try to gain knowledge from every lil and big source as possible not necessary thru education. Once u have that eternal knowledge bout ne smallest thing in life...beleive me u can go places. :)

Perhaps they didn't have the benefit of your excellent education, Maybe english isn't their first language. Maybe they're just not too bright! It takes all sorts.

Being educated and having a diploma are two different things. I have known three or four people in my life who did not have a college education or in one case even a high school education but they are the best educated people I know. \n\nThey have common sense, a great love of reading and learning and the desire to get ahead.

Good question...The more and better education you get will help you get an entry-level job or a promotion.  However, most employers prefer experience.  Thus, I would say experience is more important, but education is very important to qualify for a job.  It also may be the reason why you get promoted when someone else does not.

Knowledge is acquired through education, wisdom is acquired through life.  You realize that you are wise when you come to the realization that no matter how educated you are you know nothing.

Because without it most people would be ignorant. Learning is like building.  Without a foundation you cant build a wall.  Without a wall you cant build a ceiling, etc.. So with no schooling to learn the basics, you'll never acheive anything greater than the basics.  With schooling you can build on top of the basics and achieve greater things.  Knowledge is power.  it can give you happiness, love, almost anything when applied correctly.  The moment your born you begin to learn.  It takes you years to learn to walk, to speak, etc..  School is designed, to accelerate your rate of learning so that you can move beyond the ones before you in one life time.  Today the average high school student has obtained knowledge that the greatest minds, and whole races of people took centuries to learn.  Without school our people will achieve nothing greater than the ones before us. One could go on forever on the importance of school.  Nobody can deny the importance of school.  Only an ignorant imature mind can argue and choose to deny the importance of school for his or her own selfish wants.

My husband is illiterate. Life is very hard some times for him. He is very intelligent, but has a learning disorder. There are a lot of illiterate people out there and you would never know it. It is well hidden, and very sad that our school systems do no better than this.
