PURPOSE OF EDUCATION

Education in general has two dimensions:


1. The Personal Dimension - education must teach and
prepare the students how to attain their personal ambitions
or objectives in life

2. The Social Dimension - education is a vital component of


the society. It must teach and prepare the students how to
interact in the society and how to fulfill his/her social self
Education is not value-free. It teaches students not only skills but
impart values through the methods of teaching and curriculum.

Education not only forms the person intellectually and physically. It


also forms the person’s heart, values and attitudes especially in
relating to oneself, to others and to the material things.

Education is also an opportunity to develop and deepen one’s


faith in God. Students can learn some basic and fundamental
knowledge about their faith. They will be able to experience living
and expressing their faith.

Education must prepare the students for the future. It must


teach them how to persevere in the present society and how to help
improve the situation. Education then must expose the students to
realities in the society.
