Some people believe the purpose of education should be helping the individual to become useful for society, while others believe it should help individuals to achieve their ambitions. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

Nowadays,

people

have had a different perspective about the purpose of

education

. Some individuals think that

education

is aimed to aid a person to be helpful to the public.

However

,

others

believe that it should ease

people

to obtain their personal goals.

This

essay will discuss both views of the argument and I will give my own perspective. On the one hand, many

people

argue that

education

is meant to help individuals to be beneficial for society. It is commonly acknowledged that at schools, students are trained and educated, not only about how to be prepared and good for future jobs, but they are

also

taught to

work

on social

work

.

For instance

, when I was still at a college, I was majoring in teaching English programme. My lecturer brought me and my classmates to an orphan house to voluntarily teach English. By having

this

activity, I have learned not only how to be good in the field of my study, but I

also

could be more satisfied by being useful for

others

around me.

On the other hand

,

others

believe that the purpose of

education

is for assisting individuals to reach their personal dreams. We have been convinced that to be able to obtain a promising job, one should have a qualification which is obtained through

education

.

For instance

, if somebody wants to be a lawyer, he or she should attend a formal

education

to get knowledge and

finally

could be certified to be the profession he wants to be.

In other words

, someone cannot be the profession he really wants like a lawyer, if he does not have the qualification gained from the

education

.

Thus

,

education

is significantly important to achieve someone’s goal. To conclude, though some groups of

people

have their own perspective about the purpose of

education

, I think it depends on one’s preference. If you intend to

work

socially, like becoming a teacher, you definitely should get an

education

and

work

for

others

.

Nonetheless

, if you are willing to a job like a lawyer, you should reach it through

education

.
