The Importance of Education

Education in almost every country is regarded as both an individual benefit and a social necessity.

It is a general view that every citizen has the right and obligation to become educated. People believe that, through education, an individual acquires the knowledge, skills,attitudes and abilities which will enable him to fit into society and improve his social status. Education helps to shape the society and develop the national strength. Very often, they look to ed ucation as the cause of personal and national success and the cure of social and economic ills, holding the view that the future of the nation depends largely on education.

In a developing country such as China, our investment in education must enjoy top priority. This is crucial for China to catch up with the developed nations in todays surging waves of technological revolution. Otherwise. the gap between China and advanced countries will be widened rather than bridged.
