Education!!

Since the topic is not that entertaining thus my blog this time is adapted to the tone of voice of it.

‘Education’ is a changing, contested and often highly personalised, historically and politically constructed concept. For the purpose of education, it is to cultivate the mind so that the individual can accomplish all his/her aims in life. Education should enable the individual to use the full potential of the ability to make the best use of one's personality, surroundings and circumstances in order to accomplish the maximum in life for oneself and for others.

Broadly, education has two goals which are mutually dependent, cultivation and development of the individual and the improvement of society. This means individuals make up the society which helps improving the society with the improvement of the individuals who make it up. Therefore, it can be inferred that individual is the heart of society. 

In conclusion, the aims of education are to foster the individual's inner freedom and development towards the self-initiated action and acceptance of responsibility for one's own actions, self-direction and intelligent decision making, critical learning and evaluation of others, acquisition of knowledge for resolution of problems, intelligent and flexible adaptation to new situations, creative utilization of experiential learning in adaptation to new situations, effective cooperation with others, self-motivation and a desire to work for one's own purposes.
