Why Education Is Important

To prepare us for complete living is the function which education has to discharge. H. Spenser. Syn. -- Education, Instruction, Teaching, Training, Breeding. Education, properly a drawing forth, implies not so much the communication of knowledge as the discipline of the intellect, the establishment of the principles, and the regulation of the heart. Instruction is that part of education which furnishes the mind with knowledge. Teaching is the same, being simply more familiar. It is also applied to practice; as, teaching to speak a language; teaching a dog to do tricks. Training is a department of education in which the chief element is exercise or practice for the purpose of imparting facility in any physical or mental operation. Breeding commonly relates to the manners and outward conduct. © Webster 1913. 8. Research and Innovation: Advances in science, technology, and various fields of knowledge are propelled forward by educational institutions serving as incubators of research and innovation, leading to breakthroughs that drive progress forward. Study promotes curiosity-driven discovery of uncharted territories while opening up new frontiers of thought. 9. Environmental Awareness: Education plays a pivotal role in raising environmental consciousness. It provides individuals with knowledge of ecological systems, sustainable practices, and the value of conserving natural resources - equipping them to make environmentally responsible choices more likely than their uninformed peers.

'For Harvard to become eligible for those competitions again, it would have to enter into a negotiation with the government to satisfy what the government says is in compliance with all federal laws,' the official said. The letter goes on to mock Harvard's educational standards, despite McMahon's own mistakes. She goes after the Ivy League for the teaching of 'remedial math' and calls attention to plagiarism scandals at the school. Ed`u*ca"tion (?; 135), n. [L. educatio; cf. F.
