Education is the base of today's world. It is so important that education is free and obligatory until you are sixteen. We all agree that a person who is not educated cannot give their opinion properly about a theme and can be easily manipulated. The problem is that nowadays people are not educated in the way to be able to think by themselves, they are educated to pass the exams and get a degree to work in the future.
Mainly, there are two types of education. On the one hand, there is the traditional one in which people are taught to be creative and to learn by themselves. This type of education rises the student's interest in studying. On the other hand, the indoctrination is the actual education system. It is based in teaching students about all subjects whether they like it or not. This leads to students studying just to pass the exams.
As education does not produce money itself, investors do not invest in it. They often forget that all the invents are made by someone ho has received education. If there had not been education, there would not be new things discovered and they would not be able to receive money or invest on something new. It is necessary to invest in education because it affects directly to production and earning money.
Today's assessment is very strict and focuses on student's marks more than in their knowledge. Although tests can be of some use to know what you've achieved, they do not tell you much more. It is really common that students just study to pass the exams and sometimes they do not really understand anything. Moreover, they study the subject but in two or three days's time they forget what they had studied.
All in all, nowadays education just focuses on being able to work in the future. This is a shame because it should create curiosity in students for them to be eager to study more and know about the world. It helps you to be able to think on your own and not being manipulated. This is why education is a worldwide human right.
