When does education start
and end? That is a question
that many
people try to answer and
maybe, without the correct
answer. Some will
say that education starts
when one joins a school and
leave after the
course is complete. For
example when one join
primary school, proceed
to secondary school, and
then to university of college,
he or she can
be said to be through with the
process of education.
Education is a life-long
process. It start when one is
born and
last for a life-time. Human
beings are born with the
capacity to learn
and acquire knowledge. When
a child is born, it start by
learning the
new things outside the womb.
That is, language, people
around and the
environment. This continues
throughout the life of that
child.
Aristotle once said that,
"education is the best
provision for journey
to old age." He understood
that education is a life-long
process.
In school,where many
people think that education
starts and does
there, one gets the
fundamental knowledge and
the best methods of
acquiring knowledge. Schools
trains the mind and makes it
get used to
continuous and application
and study. An engineer gains
the basics of
engineering in school but
gains more knowledge as he
or she encounters
problems related to the
career in the field.
Gibbon, a great historian
said that, "every person has
two
educations: one which he
receives from others and
one, more important,
which he gives himself."
according to this, you can
discover
facts,that is education, by
yourself of gain from others.
Self
discovered education is more
important that the one that is
passed to
you from others.
It can be concluded that
education, the most vital
aspect of human
being, is life long process. It
starts after birth and ends
before
death.
