Some people believe the purpose of education is to make people useful to society. Others believe it is to prepare them to achieve their ambitions. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Individuals are divided in their opinion regarding the context of academic learning. To someone, the motto of studying should be providing services to the community whereas many others think the main intention of a student should be achieving their own goals. Both schools of thought make sense to a certain extent and

hence

both sides of the argument will be discussed in the subsequent paragraphs.

To begin

mental health which is not any less important.

However

, after pondering both views, I can say whatever the purpose people think of learning, schooling always serves the well-being of society either directly or indirectly.

Hence

, to conclude, the motto of study does not necessarily lie on any sole objective rather it is for the betterment of the nation as a whole.
