Education Is Best Investment

The purpose of education is to enable students to learn for themselves, not to spoon-feed them every verity they will ever require in their lives. Education should promote students to discover how to make links between particulars, and give them the capacity to exercise this procedure throughout life. The rationale of education is to expand the knowledge and skills compulsory to make informed and sensible decisions. Any other consequences should be treated as just secondary. Education, which signifies the maturity of behavior, is a purposive method; it is a procedure which is deliberately directed towards some conclusion.

It is remarkable to know that getting knowledge is obligatory for Muslim men and women and no other so-called enlightened moderate society or religion have such doctrine.
Allah (SWT) ordered his men to study and get knowledge. There are many other orders in Quran about getting knowledge and conducting research. Quran believes in the value and fairness for all human kind but it announces the dominance of the class of educated people. The Quran says:

“Are the educated and uneducated equal?
In the same way Hadith also gives us recommendations to have knowledge.
At one place Rasool Allah [May Peace be upon him] said; get knowledge (be educated) and tech others.

I trust that education should be an empowering procedure that allows and guides nation to widen their passions, critical philosophy, sympathy, and orientation towards understanding for sensible act. This is the only way in which we can make education and educational process a best investment for future.

Noam-chomsky

“There have been many measures taken to try to turn the educational system towards more control; more indoctrination … That’s the exact opposite of what traditionally comes out of The Enlightenment. And there’s a constant struggle between those. In the colleges, in the schools, do you train for passing tests, or do you train for creative inquiry?”

Education is concerned with the problems of individual and society. It is the process of enabling the individual to take his rightful place in the society. It must, therefore, be interested in those studies of creative inquiry which become a great investment for individual on the one hand and the society on the other.
