An interview with the student of 2015

(Asfand Yar Javed, UAE)

I am talking about 2015.when I talk with some one who is studying and have many many dreams in his mind.I asked some questions.what is your purpose of education?why are you getting education?why you struggled so much just for education?what makes education so important for you? I just got one answer.every one said I am getting education because I want to become an engineer,doctor,accountant etc.what benefits you will receive by doing this.I will get a huge pay.I have a big house,my life will be very good etc.These kinds of answers I generally got from many students.why not they said we are getting education to become a good member of society.what happened when parents taught their children in childhood that you have to get education so your life will be very good.when they grow up they don't know how to solve even a small problem of their lives.Today we are getting education as a bussiness .Is that all you learn from education ? Martin Luther king Jr said that " The function of education to teach one to think intensively and to think critically .Intelligence plus character that is the goal of true education ".We have to taught our children how to walk rather than where to walk .when I was small I also got these kinds of lectures from many people.Even our teachers also taught us these things.Our parents forget to give us society education .I have seen many educated people who do not know How to respect elders ? How to talk with someone?

How to live in a society ? The only thing that they know is how to earn more and more money ? Due to these kinds of education system we create many problems in our social life.You can't buy peace,love,happiness,feelings from money ,than why not we taught these things to our children from their childhoods.so they can learn how to live not how to get more money.I have seen many colleges what they says is that get admission here we will make you what you want to be a doctor ,an engineer any field else.I just shocked when I read these sentences on colleges front gates.They are making human machines not a good member of the society.Its really just funny,a human machine and every student love to become a human machine.Today we had invented many things but on the other hand we are losing love,peace,happiness.We have to look at our education system.Otherwise we will forget the happy ways of living a life.In old days when their were no electricity,technology without all these kinds of facilities people were living a happy life.because they were socially educated.Facilities in your life will never make you a happy life.Today every relationship is directly proportional to the wealth.William deresiewicz said that" the true purpose of education is to make minds,not careers " .we have to recheck our education system.so we can grow new leaders not machines.
