Education is very necessary Do you

agree?

Whether or not education serves the right purpose in our

society is a difficult question to decide Very often people

do not take up professions for which they are trained; at

other times they do not get the opportunity to use their

training When most education at the school level is either

free or subsidized, it becomes essential to examine the

question in great detail

Is education really necessary? Did we not live before this

quantitative expansion took place, before education began

to be imparted to members of all classes? In Britain till

mid-nineteenth century education was class privilege

Britain could expand the area of its education on the basis

of the industrial relation Can the developing and the

under-developed countries afford to take similar

measures?

For generations our people have depended only on life to

educate them and they have all learned through

experience Even at a higher stage of education mere

theoretical knowledge is not enough; it has to be related to

actual experience Many young engineers and technicians

find that what they have learned in their schools and

colleges is not of much use to them and they have to learn

everything anew once they take to practical work

However solid these arguments may appear to be, I firmly

believe that education alone can save us It alone can help

us build a better future Ignorance never was bliss and to

believe in it would be a folly It is not gold that makes good

people or good countries It is knowledge Knowledge is

the only thing which can come to the help of mankind

Education is one we cannot neglect If we want young

minds to grow and be aware of the world around them, if

we want our country to be in the forefront or at least on par

with other countries, we must educate our people for all

advanced knowledge and for peace and war education is

necessary We can never be free if we depend on other

countries for the technical know-how Even if practical

knowledge is acquired in the fields and the factories, we

have to have some one who knows about the soils and the

fertilizers and can build our factories

Today war is not a mere matter of bravery of courage

Wars are won or lost on the basis of literacy Modern

weapons are so sophisticated that an illiterate soldier

cannot use them Education is not a mere ability to sign

one’s name It is the basis of something much more

important Even basic hygiene and cleanliness are

connected with the level of education To some extent

they are also connected with the economic situation

Education helps to solve both the problems at one go

With better education better jobs will be available

There is no time to dilly-dally about matters related to

education If we want progress, we must ensure minimum

education for all
