Importance of Education
Education is a process that involves the transfer of knowledge, habits and skills from
one generation to another through teaching, research and training. It can be in a formal
or informal setting. Formal education involves institutionalized learning based on a
curriculum. In today’s society, education and learning play an indispensable role in
shaping the lives of individuals and the society at large. The most effective way of
boosting economic growth, reducing poverty and improving people’s health is by
investing in education.
Human labor is essential for economic growth. A highly educated labor force further
stimulates economic growth. Additionally, a highly educated labor force can easily adapt
to new working environments and conditions. In view of that, it is evident that education
serves as the driving force for innovation of new products and services. Educated
workers exchange ideas in the work place and come up with new ideas that help in the
growth of the economy.
Educated people are health conscious and live longer than their counterparts because
they engage in healthy habits such as eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly and
going for medical check-ups. By investing in education, one will also be investing in their
health. Education serves to create room for technological advancements in the field of
medicine and agriculture. Advanced technology used for conducting surgery has
replaced traditional methods. This has seen an improvement in people’s general health
and an increased life expectancy. Most developing countries have a low life expectancy
compared to developed countries. This can be attributed to high illiteracy levels present
in developing countries. This translates to poor health and poor eating habits.
