The world of today runs on education. No education is equal to no bright future. The bright and enlightening future depends on the education of the child. Nothing can be attained in future with out an element of education present in the veins of the body. Then the questions that flashed through my mind are: What is the purpose of education? Why educating children? Is education merely a means to settle in the future? Can education become valuable?
The education of the child can happen in the two stages and both the stages go simultaneously. Both the stages begin at the inception of education. The two stages of education are Information and Formation. Education becomes information when the teacher’s sole aim is only to impart the lessons just for the sake of imparting. The mind of the child is constantly filled with different subjects, knowledge and consequently burdens the mind of the child. Education becomes Formation when teacher is able to impart and pass on the moral values trough the subject. Here, the teachers aim is to inform and form the child. It is in formation, that the two stages are given importance. Education becomes valuable when education is formation. It becomes valuable when education is able to make the child aware, the importance of inculcating moral values in the school days i.e. their prime age.
Both the stages of education, information and formation are important. The education should not just be satisfied with informing the child but rather rise above and form the child.
