Education, A Nation Making Process.

We come to school for learning. Can we say that learning anything is education?

No, It is not exactly right to say that only learning anything is education. Of course, learning is one of the most important factor of education. Then the questions that comes in our mind is-

What is education?" According to Swami Vivekanand, "Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man.

Mahat Gandhi says" By education I mean all round drawing out of the best in child and man body, mind and spirit." Sir John Adam has called "Education is the dynamic side of philosophy. It is in the active aspect of philosophical belief, the practical means of realizing the ideas of life."Actually education is a life - long process of learning for the betterment of the universe. It is a process which continues from birth to deat.

Experiment and experience help us to learn new things. education is not the amount of information that is put into our brain and nuns riot there, undigested all our life.

If education were identical with information than super computers and libraries would be greatest teachers.

Swamiji also says that all knowledge is in human mind, it is inherent in man and no knowledge comes from outside. No one has taught by another. Each of us has to teach ourselves.

The teachers who are external offers us suggestion. We are like a seed of a big tree. If we get fertile ground and good invironment we may grow up like at a tree. It requires only an awakening is done by the teachers. Education is the process in which Noble characters is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expended so that one can stand on one's own feet. Education makes at self-confident a skillful and perfect. It helps us to learn self-discipline along with many other good qualities. The aim off education should be character making. The very essence of education is concentration.

Education works like a bridge which help us to join two different cultures.

the development of any society, a state or country is based on the education of it's people. By education only all social evils will be removed. True education teaches us no creed or dogma only truth. This truth is the edifice on which the great building of national character is erected. So, education is not only man-making but also national-making process. -: Aditya Verma :-
