My opinion about today's Education| Hive contest by @rajasalman1

In today's world there is more emphasize on skills and financial intelligence rather than degrees and diplomas. We see many people in our real life who haven't gone to universities but are working in big companies as Directors and CEOs. Even many of the millionaires and business tycoons are university dropouts but they are successful in their lives because they have proper knowledge and skills which are required in their fields. So on the basis of this analysis we can say that it is not education which is scam but some schools that are run by some professional minded just to make money.

Education is not a scam because it serves the purpose to refine the skills and talents. Moreover, education plays tremendous role in personality development and character building of a person which are of cardinal importance for the growth of society. A student can learn a lot of things like discipline, confidence, communication skills and behaviors patterns through attending school. Further, morality, ethics, patience and harmony are prime values that can be learned through classroom environment. A student can get a lot of ideas through brainstorming and collective participation of all the students in class. Also, a student can learn the required professional skills and financial intelligence through schooling system based on creative learning. So, the slogan 'Education is a Scam' is not valid and is raised by some fanatics who want to deschool the society or who are against the progress of society. Education is the knowledge, skill and understanding which one gets from attending a school, college or university. Education enlightens one's mind and develops personality. Imagine what would the world be like if there was no schools? The would be extremely difficult full of wars, anarchy and sorrows because people would be uncivilized, unemployed and uncultured and there wouldn't be peace on face if the earth. Also, imagine what the young children would do the whole day if there are no schools. Probably there wouldn't be philosophers like Plato and Aristotle and no Scientists like Einstein and Newton. So, to raise the objection on the importance of Education and schools is invalid

Thus, education is playing a meaningful purpose by imparting professional skills and required training, and is not a waste of time and money. Schools give training to individuals to face realities of life with patience and open heartedness and produce future leaders, politicians and businessmen. Apart from that students learn to develop rational thinking and build social awareness about their roles in society as individuals and as a larger part of society. Schools teach different approaches and a student learns the values such as peace, harmony, co-existence, tolerance because of his exposure to other individuals in the classroom having different ideologies, cultural and social background. So, one can say that 'Education is a Scam' is a slogan raised by narrow minded and lazy individuals who assume that acquisition of knowledge and training in educational institutions is a complete deceit, waste of time money and resources.
