Education
is purposeful process or experience thorough which society has formative effect
on minds, characters, or physical ability of each individual. In its technical
sense, society deliberately transmits its accumulated knowledge, skills, and values
from one generation to another.
It
is impossible to become successful person without having a decent education.
Education is not only a learning at school, college or university, and a
process that "comes on one's heels" of man all his life from birth to
old age. For example, it is impossible to become a good teacher, only to
acquire knowledge in a prestigious college. In addition to pedagogical
education a teacher must constantly upgrade his or her knowledge and skills for
many years on the job. This suggests that the process of education must be
sustained for long time.
System
of formal education in almost of all countries consists of preschool, primary
(or elementary), secondary and post-secondary (or higher) education. Each of the periods of education system gives
to person a specific knowledge, skills and life experience. Many countries take
huge attention to primary and secondary education. Governments pour huge fund
into these types of education system, but on preschool education, I think, they
don’t pay enough attention.
My
point is that preschool education is more important for person. Because during
these early years (from birth to 5 years), a human being is capable of
absorbing more information at a time than they will ever be able to again. The
environment of the young child influences the development of cognitive skills
and emotional skills due to the rapid brain growth that occurs in the early
years. Studies have shown that high quality preschools have a short and long
term effect in improving the outcomes of a child, especially a disadvantaged
child.
The
parents are the first teacher for infant, and then the relatives, preschool
teachers come to help parents in education of the child. Our life depends of
how much attention, skills and knowledge we received in early childhood period.
If parents, preschool teachers give more knowledge and more attention to the
child, then he or she would adapt easier to the school, then a college, and
make more friends during the person's life.
I
have remarked only an education base, its first step- preschool education
because I think that this section of education is deprived of government
attention. Government should take into account this cost in the countries’
budgeting and allocating money for cost item like education.
What
do you think?
Education
is very important value for our society, and his fundamental place is in the
early childhood. Then, during a lifetime, a person can improve or not it,
depending of him/her self.
