The Importance of Children Education

Having an Education is important, even in careers which do not normally require academic qualifications. Whatever subject we study, education can teach us to learn from life.
Most of the social problems that our country is suffering nowadays, could be avoided through education. If we take into account, for instance, how much violemce is afecting adolescents and children, we can conclude that this problem has its roots in the lack of eductaion they have. Children and adolescents tend to behave outside thier houses as they are taught to behave inside them. If they misbehave in such a dramatic scale, is simply because they are not well educated in that area.
Following this type of analysis, we can understand how important is the value of education and realize that this field has many failures, especilly in our country. Most of those failures are taking place at home. And after leaving a home which does not educate, children enter into a broken educational system which cannot cope with them as it should.
We must understand that primary education is key. It helps the child to develop in terms of providing foundations for more advanced learning and in helping the child develop into an emotionally healthy teenager. Several subjects are essencial in primary school such as music, physical eductaion, foreign languages, creative writing and maths. Through them schools aim to develop essential qualities that are substantial as preparation for the outside world. It is in primary school when children develop their competitiveness, interpersonal skills, self-confidence and team spirit. And, most important of all, it is in primary school when children inherit the basic patterns of their behaviour, the main differences between right and wrong, the importance of solidarity, and when they develop their aim of becoming good people. School not only teaches subjects, but also manners and values.
What is not done and not learnt during chilhood is not likely to be done or learnt afterwards. Childhood is an important time in every person’s life, in which people learnt most of the values that will rule their lifes as adults. The influence of family and school should not be dismissed as it occurs nowadays. These are the children educators and to be in charge of children’s eductaion is a serious task. And it should be taken as serious as it is.
