Education as a Means


education is not an end but an means to end.in other words we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them,our purpose is to fit them for life.as soon as we realize this fact,we will understand that it is very important to choose a system of education that will really prepare children for life.it is not enough to choose the first system of education one finds,or to continue with one's old system of education.


in many modern countries,it has for sometime been fashionable to think that by free education for all whether rich or poor clever or stupid-one can solve all the prablemsof society and build a perfect nation.but we can already see that free education for all is not enough,we find in many countries far large number of people with university degrees than there are jobs for them to fill.because of their degrees they refuse to do what they think as low work,but we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completsely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor,we can live without education but we will die if we have no food


in fact,when we saythat all of us must be educated to fit us for life,it means that we must be educated in such a way that,firstly eac of us can do whatever job is suitedto his brain,aptitudeand abilityand secondaly,that we can realize thatall jbs are necassary to society,and that it is very bad to ashamed of one's workor to scorn someone else.only such a type of education can be called valuable to society
