Education is not an end but a means to an end.In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them.Our purpose is to fit them for life.
In some modern countries, it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation.But we have already seen that free education for all is not enough; we find in some countries a far larger number of people with university degrees.They refuse to do what they think “low” work and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries.But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of professor.We can live without education, but we die if we have no food.If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases.
In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in certain ways.Firstly each of us can do whatever work suited to our brains and ability.Secondly, we should realize that all jobs are necessary to society.It is very bad to be shamed of one’s work.Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.
