What is an Education?

Education is a process of gaining knowledge from teachers through their teaching. It is a learning process that one receives in schools. It primarily involves activities like giving knowledge by the teachers in classrooms, presentation of study materials by academics, practical training in workshop by the instructor with an aim to train the student in any specific subject matter and to give them practical exposure on the practical aspects of real time situations, giving him with the necessary technical skills required to face the pragmatic situations.

What it is important?

Education is basic underlying and a significant ingredient mandatory for development of any society. Education of an individual improves his social, mental status, his knowledge, and his abilities to develop required skills to live his life. Education is the only arm with which one can kill ignorance and fight with unawareness. An educated individual can comprehend things in a better way because he has a broad-minded with which he can view things differently. He has a broadened mind with which he is able to interpret all the faces of any problem and then he will be able to deal the situation in a better way.

Statistic is showing that in a developed country a status of education is high. However, if we discuss about developing countries the setting is just opposite. The literacy rate in country like India is very low. Although continual efforts are being made by the government to achieve the higher literacy rate but still the objective is far to accomplish and it will take years to reach the objectives that are being set by the UNESCO and the government of these countries.

However why is this so? Why the literacy rate is not up to desirable mark in spite of continuous efforts? What are the major barriers which forbid spread of education? The reasons can be best described as:

Deficiency of Education and Infrastructure facilities which prevent the literacy rate from being reaching up to desired mark, poverty in a major segment of population which keeps the parents from sending their children to schools, Gender inequality that means female are not given the same preference as the male which should not be and the traditional caste practices which also plays a major role in preventing the education to reach the light of education to reach all the doors.

If inhabit from developing countries are able to get over these obstacles the education level will unquestionably rise in these developing countries.
