Abstract:
One of the important weapon to build national integration of our country is “Education”. By means of education only we can give motivations to children which are our “Future citizens of nation”. In many organization’s curriculum and in many educational centers teachers should always encourage propagation of national elements and should always avoid any things related to any place, caste, religion, class and community of society. In schools, colleges, universities preferences should always be given national ideas then only we can build our national integration in the mind of students, teachers, and the people in our surrounding.

Outer Constraints – Externally, financial and political weights have damaged its personality and independence. A few progressions have occurred in the later past in the character, part and between relationship of these principle constituent of the national elites – the political official, the administrators, the specialists, the media persons, the sorted out laborers, the surplus farmers and the officials. It brought into the front line some undesirable social changes and political turmoil. It has influenced antagonistically the entire climate in the field of instruction too.
Increase in population has put a substantial weight on present system of education and its accessible medium. Less loyalties, sectional intrigues and sub-societies like – preference, nepotism and subject of corruption have quick turned into an acknowledged lifestyle. Result is that collective, territorial and standing clashes and horrible rivalry between diverse capable anterooms are expanding consistently to have their restrictive hang on rare assets accessible in the field of training or for force and
“In addition to giving special attention to the history and current situation of their own nation, [children should] learn a good deal more than they frequently do about the rest of the world in which they live” (6). In this method of education, students will be creating bonds with characteristics of cultures that they personally find good and worthy of upholding. Rather than upholding traditions of their own nation without the respect they where originally meant to give. In this way, you would find differences in other nations cultures and not see them as flaws, but as unique features you can appreciate and strive to
British Historian Edward Gibbon once said,"Every man who rises above the common level has received two educations: the first from his teachers; the second, more personal and important from himself." Nowadays, our society is developing rapidly, more and more parents want their children to be educated. Every parents notice that how education important is. There are different kinds of education, not only going to school everyday, but also learning knowledge or skills by yourself. More and more international schools are founded in China nowadays, they absolutely show that how Chinese education system and Canada education system are different. In this paper, it will illustrate that Chinese education is different from Canadian education because it's
Education holds power over determining one’s class. Knowledge and refinement can set one individual apart from another who lacks the qualities of successful individuals. Finances and opportunities distinguish class meaning the lower class has difficulty in obtaining the same conditions of the upper class. Education ultimately dictates success and power in society. Education is taken for granted and should be recognized for the significance it possesses.
I had read a book about the advocating of the enlightening education. I realized that education can direct impact on the development of the society. In the book " The Rebuilding of Old Commonwealths" by Walter H. Page, in the second article "The school that build a town" tells a story of a school in Northwood, this small town from ordinary becoming prosperous because of the special way of education. The school students in that town have combined their knowledge they learn from different courses, and they finally fast track to the career. After the time pass, this town was rebuild. This case illustrates that the students should learn from outside of the formal curriculum and the knowledge they already know can integrate together for advanced
A country needs to have a conscious and participatory citizen in the community, education is a prime to this role, a bridge for the development of critical thinking.We can see the example of black people back in the slave time, when some of them began to read and write they became aware of their rights as a citizens and consequently could fight for their freedom. They were the ones, who initiated the movement for free education in the 1850’s. If every citizen had a teacher who stimulate the critical thinking, society would have more people consciences, fairer and less
Today, the way the educational system works in the U.S. concerns a large number of people in this country. "Only 25% of adults have a great deal of confidence in the people running education, according to the General Social Survey, down from 49% in 1974" (Russel 4). A lot of discussions have been held to find the best ways to improve teaching methods. At the same time, people recognize that a very valuable solution to increase the level of education in the United States is to look at some problems that cause difficulties and hamper the enhancement of the quality of education. The first step is to define these problems. As in every country, the U.S. wants to develop its national standards in education and wants them to be high. This has always been a government function. Being democratic, the government is trying to fit the qualities of democracy into the way to set these standards. Of course, this is not an easy task since this country has a very diverse population. To please everybody has always been an almost impossible task. Despite this impossibility, national standards have already been set. "If a visitor from another nation was dropped into an American public school classroom without knowing the state or the region, he or she would be likely to see the same lesson taught in the same way to children of the same age" (Ravitch 9). Everything seems right except the fact that the abilities of children are different. Not everybody is able to study at a college; not everybody wants to continue being educated. It is obvious that every country wants to produce as many educated people as possible. But, at the same time, every country needs workers because, regardless of the fast development of technology, there is still a great necessity for human labor. To satisfy all the necessities of the country, the government should provide different kinds of education. This does not mean that we need to eliminate all of the standards; they could be set in each field of education. Although standards are set, there is still a very big difference in teaching methods in different schools. Perhaps, the most serious problem starts in high schools: some schools provide a higher level of education than others. Students from most city schools graduate with the confidence in their knowledge; their level of educati...
To accentuate the point, it is must be said that the most crucial fact of all is that since we are modern nation, we must thoroughly educate our students because school enhances the self-actualization process that begins at home. This is because not only do students gain scholastic knowledge while engaged in the educational system, but also gain behavioral norms that aid them in future
This welcome great opportunity that enables individual to achieve their dream to be successful in life. In J. Hector St. John de Crèvecoeur letter “What is America?” he wrote “ The American is a new man, who acts upon new principles; he must therefore entertain new ideas, and form new opinions” (Crèvecoeur par. 3). Which means that Americans needs knowledge to be able to support their opinions whether they agree or disagree with the new principles. Education is the basis of developing Americans by providing knowledge considering humanity the world over. Americans in the society obtain toward in life that builds opinions among the community. Education helps the society to have a better of understanding the world around them rightly, changing to new ways and means that improve the
Mr. Russell’s A History of Western Philosophy enlightened my deep thinking about truth. Then I read Mr. Rousseau 's of the Social Contract, or Principles of Political Right, and became a believer of social contract theory; I also self-studied some of Weber’s, Marx’s and Durkheim’s sociology thoughts, but the two-year preparation for Master study put an abeyance on my reading plan. Regarding to the educational philosophy, I self-studied the thoughts as ancient as Quintilian’s and Comenius’s, and as modern as Horace Mann’s, Dewey’s and Dr. Weis’ educational thoughts. Moreover, my teaching and administrating experience in both private for-profit education organization and in public schools in China plus the study of the real-life problems and contemporary researches in UB, generate a deep feeling that education studies should become an independent, open and scientific field of study. Furthermore, during my master study, I encountered numerous materials about social injustice, cultural prejudice, racial discrimination and political corruption which are all jeopardizing education practices, but most of our debates in the classroom were difficult to generate constructive suggestion. It is always good to have different opinions, but our discussions rely too heavily on individual’s life experience and it is no doubt that when the empiricism prevails, science dims. This observation motivates me to explore the education studies in a more scientific way. I hope my future effort will enable people to discuss and solve education problems on a scientific track, so that the education system in human society will be the secure for educating the “ideal human
Education is a form of learning that is necessary for the development of one’s personality, identity, physical and intellectual capabilities. Education also provides to the growth of a person through the enhancement of social and professional integration. Education can improve a person’s quality of life. Underprivileged adults and children have a chance to escape poverty. “It is a tool for the economic, social and cultural development of all population around the world. Education is a human right and should be accessible to everyone without discrimination. All children should be awarded the same opportunities to be able to build a future for themselves. Therefore they must and should be able to go to school. Each child have the right to benefit from a quality education that fits their needs.”(Humanium 2016).

It is noticeable that the system of education is changing from time to time based on financial issues and how the world is growing. In the past, individuals taught the education system from the oldest member of the family to children, and their members were charging fees from the families that sent their children to them. Which meant that education was an important thing in all ages. Nowadays, the education is shaped to an official system run by professional people in governments and many countries invest high amounts towards education which makes evidence of how important it is in our current life. Every country has a different system of education based on their financial stability, government infrastructure and the standard of the government officials. It is noticeable that there is a big difference between the education in developing countries and the prevailing system in developed countries .In my essay I will discuss some reasons for these differences...

Education is a vital part of society. It serves the beneficial purpose of educating our children and getting them ready to be productive adults in today's society. But, the social institution of education is not without its problems. Continual efforts to modify and improve the system need to be made, if we are to reap the highest benefits that education has to offer to our children and our society as a whole.
Education is man’s most valuable possession: it is the concept through which one’s love for learning stems, and the equipment used to pave an individual’s path to success. Although easily influenced by the opinions of others, education is one of the few concepts that neither internal nor external stress can strip from our being. The future of our society lies in the hands of our educators; the values and morals instilled by such figures govern the actions of the earth’s people.
