Importance of Education
In our society lot of social issues like inequality, gender discrimination, religious differences, child abuse, child labour, etc. are happening because of the lack of education.

What is real education?
Do you think getting good grades and having good manners is education? If yes, you should think deeper. However, real education is beyond any degree and systematic instruction. The real purpose of education is to elevate your consciousness to evolve yourself. Education is meant to help you reach a higher state of being. One has to be trained to meet the demands of life. It is about understanding how one’s world works and using that knowledge to benefit society. The fact that education can encompass so much has made it challenging to define real education.
Assuming that education is important only because it helps you get a good job is dangerous. If you see things that way, you just limit yourself.
Let’s see the influence of education on various aspects of life.
Education is to develop personal skills
Students are required to go through many types of assignments, discussions, courses and more during their time of education. Therefore, they end with a wonderful skill set that translates into the workforce. In addition, from extracurricular activities, students learn arts, sports and more that help them to develop their skills personally in life and to connect with society.
Education is to boost confidence for success

And studies have shown that greater confidence leads to greater career advancement.
Importance of Education for health and well-being
Good quality education is the foundation of health and well-being. For people to lead healthy and productive lives, they need the knowledge to prevent sickness and diseases. For children and adolescents to have a good memory, they need to be well nourished. E.g, a well-educated mother improves her child’s nutrition and vaccination rate to prevent the child from being sick. It is a catalyst for development and health intervention in its own right.
Education is to change the society
Education and society are interrelated or interdependent because both mutually influence each other. It helps individuals to learn how to live, how to behave, and how to organize everything in their lives. So it is an agent which brings a change in society or we can say in one line that education is a social change agent.
Importance of Education for economic growth
Education endows people with quality skills and thereby, enhances their productivity. Consequently, it enhances the income-earning capacities and opportunities for people. Moreover, it also enables human capital to utilize the available physical capital optimally. Education not only increases the income earning capacity but also reduces the skewed distribution of income and thereby forms an egalitarian society. It not only acts as a means to bring about social changes in society but also to excel at the rate of such changes.
Education for personality development
The role of education plays an important role in shaping our personalities. Being educated means elevating our personalities. An elevated personality pushes us to move forward and outshine the crowd. Having a good personality through education, helps people to learn the code of conduct, and how to have with others. It teaches us how can we control our emotions as well.
Education for environment
Education helps us to understand how our decision and actions affect the environment and the skills necessary to address complex environmental issues, as well as ways we can take action to keep our environment healthy and sustainable for the future.
An educated society facilitates a better development program than an illiterate one. Education improves productivity and prosperity and also improves enriched life experiences. It does not only contribute towards the growth of the people but also the development of society as a whole. Education increases national income and other cultural richness. Malala Yousafzai said, “Our books and our pens are the most powerful weapons. One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world. Education is the only solution”. Greenfield International School is giving real education to the students to prepare them for what is to come by gaining skills and knowledge to help them in the future.
In this competitive world, education is the most important thing, so never ignore the importance of education in life at any cost. Education is the most valuable treasure that will make us successful people.
