Human beings require some basic skills to earn a living. Since the ancient times when humans once were Hunters and gatherers, they understood the importance of skills. Without skill Hunters and gatherers would not be able to to catch a prey and fulfill when needs of food shelter clothes etc. So they used to teach their next generation also these skills. When India saw the rise of kingdoms, it also witnessed the rise of various teaching institutions for the noble and princes. These were termed as gurukulas. The Nalanda University of India is one of the oldest University in the world. From this fact we conclude that the ancient people also understood the the requirement of education and its need improper administration and functions of daily life as well.

In the 21st century the right to education is a basic right for everyone. The government has started many initiative like the school Chalo Abhiyan. These types of initiative are for people who cannot afford the fees of private school. The government has also opened various government school for the teaching and basic education of slum children. They have started scheme like mid day meal so that they can attract more children specially girls to come to school and study. The government is is trying its level best to make more and more people in this country literate.

Education is important because it enables the person in his growth and opens a plethora of opportunities for him. Without education a person would not be aware of his rights and duties and such citizens are seldom asset to the country.

With the spread of education there will be more equality, the basic income of people will also increase, the standard of living of people will get raised and what not.
