Rethinking the Purpose of Education: A Call to Foster True Learning

We were taught that education is a key to success, urging children to attend school with the promise of acquiring knowledge, wisdom, and awareness. However, contemporary educational systems no longer fulfill their original purpose.

The focus has shifted from holistic improvement of the mind, body, soul, and spirit to serving as a reality filter rather than a beacon of enlightenment.

Today, education is often pursued out of necessity rather than personal development. It has become a revenue stream for the wealthy and a daunting struggle for the less fortunate. This critique, though harsh, reflects a stark reality.

Children are seldom taught the true essence of education. Instead, they are led to believe that pursuing a specific degree will lead to a less challenging career path.

The genuine purpose of education should be to help individuals discover themselves, gain essential knowledge, and work towards personal growth, consciousness, and wisdom in order to eradicate ignorance. Unfortunately, many prioritize convenience, appearance, and financial gain over developing profound character, stability, and competence. Have you ever wondered why students often struggle to retain what they are taught? It's because they haven't truly learned.
