Staying Educated

I think purpose of education is an essential part of any society. Without education, a society would not survive for long. The purpose of education is to teach, or pass on information, from one person to another. This is so important, because this is how we as a society are able to better the society in which we live. The benefits of education are endless. The personal satisfaction and feeling of accomplishment upon receiving a college degree is one that cannot easily be topped. College education is becoming even more important than it has been in the past. A bachelor's degree is now becoming a minimum requirement for many jobs that previously only required a high school diploma. There is much debate today on what would be the best way to reform education. Education reform means to make education better by removing defects. True educators are always thinking of more effective ways to enhance the way children learn. With the continuous change of growing population, economics, culture, family, and fad, there has to be continuous educational reforms to keep the society abreast with these changes. Regardless of the era in which education reform is thought of, the number one priority is the children. I feel future of education is very promising to the younger generations. From kindergarten through college many changes are brewing. On the horizon are things like smart objects, full-length online courses, and  devices designed to equalize education.
