Education is very important for an individual to grow in life. Some of the reasons for importance of education are:-
1. Makes people better citizens- Education makes an individual a better person. They can understand the difference between good and bad. They can develop morals and take decisions accordingly.
2. Better pay jobs- A person can get a high paid job if they are educated. This is the reason behind India has such high availability of cheap labor. Majority of the population is uneducated. Research shows that an educated person is much more financially capable and stable then an uneducated one.
3. Creates employment- Educated people are more likely to be employed then an educated person. It is very important for a country to have high employment rate as it inreases the overall GDP of the country.
Contribution to the society- An educated person can contribute to the society in a better way than an uneducated person. One can become a sceintist, doctor, teacher, businessman etc. Education is very important for the development and growth of an individual.
4. Creates equal opportunities- If a person is uneducated they do not have the same opportunities to grow as compared to an educated one. Education helps in creating equal opportunities for people to grow and develop. It is very essential for poor countries like India. The people can get rid of poverty through education.
5. Increase standard of living- If an individual is educated his standard of living increases as he can find a better paying job and use it to increase his standard of living. An educated person is more happy and satisfied with his life then an uneducated person. Education gives a person to change his/her life.
The world is constantly changing and we need to be educated and learn those changes in order to survive. It is a basic fundamental right for everyone in India to right to education.

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.
Education is everyone’s right and we all should encourage everyone around us to exercise this right for their well being and success.
