Gates’ note on the importance of education

 

Melinda and Bill Gates have shared their belief in the importance of the act of improving education in North America, specifically in the United States of America. Bill Gates has elaborated in this heperlinked blog, “the Gates Notes” that uneducated workers who have not received college level education double the number of those unemployed workers who have been educated in college level education.  As the America faces such profoundly unsettling nationwide economic issues, concerns for the quality of teachers and education for children are greatly neglected. With an increasing need for highly-skilled workers, the future of the US economy does not seem to be promising as well.  Although the absence of college level education will not totally ruin your life, I find the education I am currently receiving somewhat helpful as a postsecondary student myself. Some classes and lectures may include contents that one finds useless and nothing to connect to real life situations. However, in general courses of education, people attain more knowledges, skills and most importantly, realizations through one’s learning processes. I believe that learning matters more than education. Yet, learning process can accelerate and exceed when it is met with education.
