Education plays a very important role in our life. It is one of the most valuable possessions a man can get in his life.
During all the periods of human history education ranked high among
people. Human progress mostly depended upon well-educated people. We get
our knowledge of this world and life through education. Many famous
discoveries would have been impossible if people were not interested in
learning something. Self-education is very important for the development
of human’s talents. Only through self-education a person can become a
harmonically developed personality.
A person becomes a highly qualified specialist after getting some
special education. And professionalism can be reached only through it.
Even highly qualified specialists from time to time attend refresher
courses to refresh their knowledge.
Education develops all sides of human personality, reveals his
abilities. Besides, it helps a person to understand himself, to choose
the right way in this world. The civilized state differs from others in
the fact that it pays much attention to the educational policy. John
Kennedy said: “Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our
progress in education”. But it doesn’t concern only one particular
nation. We know that science and art belong to the whole world. Before
them the barriers of nationality disappear. So education brings people
closer to each other, helps them to understand each other better.
