The word “education” comes from the Latin word “educere,” which means “to be led out.” Education is about getting out of yourself and learning. Education is really important in our lives today. But we also really value independence, and that causes some conflict. We think it’s great to be unique. But education usually starts with a structured way of learning.

Take learning to be a musician, for example. Musicians begin by learning the basics, and they get better by learning techniques from others. So, our talents and creativity grow by following certain rules. Modern education is changing. There are lots of online courses now, but they lack the structure and the interaction you get with a teacher.

Education also helps us learn how to focus. Nowadays, students have many things trying to get their attention, and they often find their classes uninteresting. Students should be treated as individuals, not like robots just learning for the sake of it. They need structured learning and courses that relate to the real world.

For instance, more students might enjoy math if they saw how it’s used in building racecar engines. Knowing that math can help you become a racecar mechanic can make studying more interesting. Education shouldn’t just be about theory; it should connect us to the world around us. Education should help us learn and explore beyond our own thoughts.
