education,
Mankind needs enough skills and knowledge to survive this age. If you aren’t skilled or wise enough, you’ll have a higher tendency to end up at the bottom of the competition. These societal statements are the reason behind the desire of every single person to have a proper education. Everyone wants this for it is believed to be the key to success, the key to a decent life.
If education is truly essential, why do we question the relevance of every lesson taught to us? Why do we ask if some of these are really necessary or relevant? What really is relevant education for?
We acknowledge topics that cater to our interests, and criticize the applicability of those that we do not favor. This is how we come up with the term “relevant education” which consists of topics or lessons necessary in life, particularly in chosen future professions. Relevant education should provide the necessary skills and knowledge the field demands.
Thus, schools should not fill students with too much knowledge they wouldn’t need for too much of anything has negative effects. A school’s administration should know how to properly allocate the amount of lessons or topics given in a certain subject so that the students wouldn’t have a hard time coping with the topics. Balance is needed to lessen the pressure on students and teachers, as well.
Imagine that what you are doing right now is something you really like. Wouldn't things be easier than if you are doing something you do not favor? Apply this scenario to the system of education. Students will find it easier to study if they know that what they’re studying is necessary for their life in the future.
When each and every one of us loves what we do and becomes really good at it, it is truly beneficial for the society. The quality of work done by the people would be better, and as a result, it would help make the economy flourish. Education will be the spark of this scheme. Once students know and love their profession, they’d study more about it and as a result, they’ll hopefully be exceptional in their chosen field.
As a student, I can say that I receive relevant education. I feel that I’m receiving the right amount of lessons and developing the right set of skills though some subjects go beyond my limitations.
However, when you really think about it, there is no such thing as topics that are not needed in life. Everything that we learn can add up to our skills and knowledge. We may say things like “I don’t even need this when I grow up” because some topics are either explained briefly or too specifically which make them difficult to learn. What students need nowadays is basic education and the right introduction of topics. By providing these, we can figure out what profession we want and we can study further what we have to.
There is no such thing as irrelevant education. We encounter a lot of experiences, learn lessons, and find out about a lot of things. All these things would come in handy later in life. As long as we are learning, our knowledge and abilities would continue to grow. Do not take things, which you feel are not part of your chosen profession, for granted.
Education is the key to success and, in my opinion, also happiness. Let us live life with our desired profession in mind so that we will be happy with and interested in what we do. As a result, a better community would be in the future for every one of us. Let us enjoy learning a lot of new things and be open to what life brings us.
Education will never be irrelevant so give it importance and make the most out of it. / by Forth Soriano
Opinion: There is No Such Thing as Irrelevant Education
“Whatever you enjoy doing, make that your profession. Then work won’t seem to be work, but a game.” – Aamir Khan (Rancho Chanchad, 3 Idiots)Mankind needs enough skills and knowledge to survive this age.
