Education - A Pioneer of Life

Education is overall about learning and it’s a continuous process and it’s the core part of any successful human being. One cannot conclude education just by considering actions such as “writing” and “Reading”. Education is about everything that relates to being Human, you cannot exclude anything out of its vast arena, and it’s all-inclusive. There are certain dimensions through which education can be acquired among which literacy is the basic one, remember it as a basic one not “the only one”. So Not only all of those who are literate can be called educated and also not all those who are educated can be literate. Education is something that teaches us the VALUES and it is always “GOOD”. This value cannot be neutral; it can either be positive or negative. Along with Values there are also other factors like TRUTH and JUSTICE which is universal and part of education.

You can stick to your own values and sticking to your values and understanding the other side is a kind of education. The early childhood age from 0-3 years is the best possible time for an human kind to get the best education of his/her lifestyle. This can be included in ECE (Early childhood Education). Integrated Child Development Scheme is world’s largest scheme working on Infant’s development. A kid is never been taught his/her mother language, it’s the interpretation that helps it to develop and learn. The main thing that it does is interpret and observe and this cannot be taught it can be only learned. For a kid, firstly while learning the mother tongue it’s just a sound if it cannot interpret, and sound is a natural thing while the speech which is not natural.

Education is all about knowledge; it’s a continuous flow of knowledge. And it can be gained from anybody knowledgeable from anywhere. So I think Education is Universal. Moreover for the betterment of society, education plays an important role in socialization that is done by the family and family values and it’s also a kind of education and Civilization is the another important term in education which is mandatory for fruit full output out of education. So we can frame a definition of education like: “Education is a civilized value based entity that is premised on continuous process of seeking knowledge.” 

"DEVELOPMENT" in process.....

India being one of the developing nations it’s going on developing Public sector as well private sector, rural as well as urban but the point is how they are developing? People are more focused on developing rural area by facilitating them with various schemes and trying to improving their lifestyle but is it working perfectly? Is it going on the way it should be, No doubt there are some place where this plan of action of developing rural area has done well but mostly it has been into the bin of the implementer. It’s not like rural areas can never be developed but it can thought like rural areas can be developed in to its own way of living , that means there’s no need of developing people by changing their lifestyle but the thing is their lifestyle can be improved , so one need to understand the difference between “changing” and “improving” . So for example: if you think of providing Burger to rural area people then it would not be better as it can create some problem for their health as that is not their regular meal, so the thing that one can do is, they could provide better quality of same food that they are consuming in their daily meal. So the schemes which are being framed by the policy makers are perfect on the paper but when it comes on the implementation stage its again perfect but in negative way. So the leakages are the core reason for failure of the schemes or policies and that’s the middle person. 

Decentralization is good at one stage as the flow of money is going all the way. RTI is also a good tool for finding out these leakages but again there are leakages everywhere. Rural Development is more focused then Urban, which is not relevant as its not only rural area that are facing problem. We can see the urban area where these implementers who are  implementing schemes in rural area are also the part in urban for facing the problems, for instance we can take the example of environment or global warming which is one of the most important problem that urban people are facing so one need to focus on that as well, because when you say that you are in the process that’s you are developing then you should see each and every corner and aspects and find out the most relevant and immediate solution for the same, so that can lead you to “Developed countries” up till we are still “Developing” .
