why do we need an education?
146913
Because you simply cannot get anywhere without it.  Seriously.  Cling to your ignorance and you will always be a pathetic dependent, a burden to others.\n\nSeparate question is why do we need to go to school?  We don't.  There's always home schooling.  But for adults, ever hear of self-education?  It's really harder work than attending a school and letting the reduced expectations of the teachers see you through, but you will be better educated in the long run.\n\nBest of all might be to go to school to get from it what you can, and expect to do a lot of work on your own to fill in the details of that which the school only skims the surface.  That might take the rest of your life, if you are lucky!

The same reason we know about anything, the desire to know things. Learn, study, be knowlegeable, about all places and all things.

This is the old question of education vs. experience.  Both are important and both help to thrive.  However, if you want to have experiences on the better side of town you should give some serious thought of getting an education.

To be able to communicate information to students and to instill a desire to learn within them.  Tough job!

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.

Reasons:  A more educated society is generally thought to be a good thing.  \n\nProblems:  Adults have jobs (usually) that compete for time. Many have second language issues, learning disabilities, low self esteem, and a less flexible learning curve.\n\nSolutions:  One on one interaction.  Curriculum and materials based on and designed for adult interests.  Counseling and job placement services.

Education gives you basic information so that you know enough to at least start to do the job right.\n\nExperience is what makes you into a master.

Both are important depending on a job.  It's best to have both, but if I had to choose...I'd pick education.  An educated person can always get experience.

Education is not an indicator of intelligence. Education is a tool to enable you to better use your intelligence and increase your capabilities. All the education in the world will not make a dumb person smart, or give anyone the slightest amount of common sense.

We live in the present. We can't change the past, but we can learn from it for the future.\n\nEducation is important because it teaches about the wheel, so you don't have to make it. You learned that fire was hot; did you ever touch it to find out? You learned that being electricuted is lethal; did you ever bathe with a toaster to see?\n\nFrom a deeper perspective, education is exercise for your brain. We have to get up and move so our muscles don't deteriorate and we perish. Likewise, we need to use our brains in order to empower them.\n\nThere are no other creatures like humans on the face of this Earth. We have abilities like no other and are considered superior ro every other species for it. The biggest difference is what is in our heads and what it is capable of. So at the very least education is necessary because we have power like no other living thing does, and to waste that ability (when we should be using it to do our part in the world) cancels any reason for us existing in the first place.

Because we are not all the greatest leaders, and even the greatest leaders need fools in all fields to get them from point A to B.\n\nI chuckle when people mention Bill Gates dropping out of Harvard to justify not finishing their education.  When he dropped out, Mr. G had a viable business and knew all he needed to know to make it work.  \n\nThe truth is this: people who want to learn will learn whatever the setting.  The schools are here to round out an education, and provide reassurance to employers that "person A" knows enough to function.

Get a better education and get a better job.

Hi,\n\nThe purpose is two fold, the first vocational; to help you get a more rewarding job, the second, and perhaps more important, to educate you. Education is of value in itself. Without education a man can only know what he can find out by trial and error in his life, with education he, to quote Isaac Newton, sees farther because he stands upon the shoulders of giants.\n\nThere is far more which, if you study, you will discover.\n\nHope that helps. PP\n\nPS. the social life rocks too

Education and ignorance stands together. When a human being getting old, then she/he learned much but the sorrunding also getting old to them. So, we need to make youthfulness on education where we will invest our time for being a educator ourselves. Education for all will make the happened. Keep your hand for UN.

THis is true, mainly because people without a highschool diploma are going to be hardpressed to get a good job at all. THere are many jobs out there that require a bachelor's degree even if they don't require that level of knowledge. It's part of how this society tries to get us to just play the game. If you play the game you can get a good job. THis involves getting into college and graduating.
