The Essence of Education
Education is viewed as a process aimed at developing well-rounded young individuals who can contribute meaningfully to society. This involves not only imparting knowledge but also ensuring students engage with the world around them and are provided with opportunities for personal growth. Currently, there is concern that many educational structures focus too narrowly on academic achievements without adequately fostering the overall development of students. This creates disparities in educational experiences, leaving some children feeling unprepared for adulthood.
