We know that education is a process of living then why people treat it as a preparation for future living?

Question

Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.

Answer 1

Education can be interpreted as two very different things. There is general education that serves to enhance one's personal knowledge, and there is investment education that serves to create a foundation to survive in our economic society.

General education is indeed a process of living as you call it. People learn everyday and often seeks to obtain more knowledge. A lot of times these knowledge are trivial but serves to satisfy personal interest. This is the type of "education" that makes life worth living.

Investment education can also be determined by personal interest but more often, and more importantly, it serves only as a foundation for a better future. Not everyone is fortunate enough that they do not have to worry about supporting themselves in the future and that education can be determined by personal interest alone. People strive to create stability for themselves and in society today and that stability only comes with financial support. Without a good education and career, there can be no financial support and I believe people willingly forsake personal interest in investment education for that reason.

Answer 2

yes. we learn every minute.

Answer 3

I think I get what you mean!

I look at school as NOW, not part of my future.

Instead of thinking about my career choice at school, I will pick the subjects I enjoy and am strong at and then pick my career from the results I have.

School is a big part of life which I want to enjoy!

Answer 4

yes i also believe that education is life itself but why do we don't see the other part of it...as when we are in school we think if we score good marks, good ranks and all then we are known as intelligent so its just we mug all that up and write in our papers without knowing what it actually means...when we come in college we come to know that how important all that stuff was which we just didn't paid attention to as they were the roots of all the studies which we do in our higher standards..so its just the world is changing, our thinking is also changing we just have the greed for good reputation and not for good education...

hope this helps...

Answer 5

You are right....life is a continuous learning process...we learn from our mistakes and our experiences.....the lessons we learn from life prepares us emotionally, physically, spiritually, etc...but formal education prepares us for the type of career, profession and eventually the kind of lifestyle we will be having in the future...using both life's lessons and formal education will help ensure a less worry free life and a more comprehensive approach to life

Answer 6

I get what you are trying to say but the fact is nowadays life is all about money. Who wouldn't like to roll in a lamborghini or a bentley, travel in you own private jet, get a million dollar getaway in your own private island you can always get there by a multimillion dollar yacht, travel a round in a super stretch limo or maybach. You see all these things need money. In when though money is NOT happiness the truth is it is a part of it, day by day that part continues to grow larger and larger, its is impossible to have a proper living without education. Education these days is aninvestmentt you study now the earnings come later in the FUTURE. An educated person has much more potential to make money than anon educatedd brat. Clearly its almost impossible for a normal employee to earn enough money to get all of what I stated above unless he/she hits a jackpot but its not impossible if the person can use his head properly education is what teaches people to use their heads properly. Neither Bill Gates nor Warren Buffett was born asbillion iress, they earned it and I m pretty sure what ever the education they had helped them to make their billions.

Answer 7

You only live once and have a limited amount of years to live so your educational intake needs to be narrowed down.  When it has to be narrowed down you then need to make a choice as to what will be included in your life's process of learning.  When you have to make a choice then you would usually find yourself some sort of aim to pursue to make your education more meaningful.  When you have to find an aim, which is something that happend in the future, you usually resolve it down to something which is relevant to your future occupation because, afterall, in this limited life of your's you still need to eat, live, mate thereby means of making a living.  

Therefore it turns out the preparing for the futre, along side with education, has become human's process of living for member of civilized society.

Answer 8

Ya, it's true what you say. But basically, it is preparing for the future. Because, when you are in school, and you learn all those subjects along the way, you start to think.. "hey this is what i wanna do!", so then you start preparing your self for it. That's why people choose a specific field and learn accordingly. So that they can occupy themselves in that subject in the future.

And of course you learn all the way, through your life...

Answer 9

Because if they knew that then people would not spend their hard earned dollars to go to school...don't let the secret out! and I am in total agreement with you...well said!
