         Philippines is the midst of struggle in combating variousissues such as the economic problems, political and even ineducational system. This essay tackles on the factors affectingthe deterioration of educational system in our country. To theFilipino, knowledge is acquired through education. Although theygenerally agree that education can be obtained inside andoutside school, they believe that the primary sources ofknowledge are the schools. Thus, the higher a person goes up theformal educational ladder, the more knowledge ho or she acquiresand expectedly, the more wealth he or she generates or produced.Being wealthy means having power, influence and social prestige.Thus, earning a college diploma means acquiring the key toeconomic ands social opportunities. The supreme ambition ofevery Filipino family, therefore, is to send every child tocollege regardless of the sacrifices it might entail on the partof at least one of the children, preferably the oldest child,should get a college degree so that he or she can take care ofa younger siblings education.

role of education in our society

   It could be said that the role of education in society is to raise the level of awareness of as many people capable and willing to learn so that we as a society can better understand the nature of things, perhaps even come to understand the nature of nature. It could be said and in fact, just has been said but exactly what has been said? How do we as a society educate and how do we as a society take advantage of societies education? How do we best raise our level of awareness? Is such an endeavor best facilitated by societal efforts or by individual efforts? Does society learn in the same way any given individual might learn? Society and Education are both systems and systems have their place but they do not play their part. The system is the whole as you and I are just part of society and our teachers were just part of the education we received. The role of the professor is to educate the role of the student is to learn the role of the administrator is to facilitate a place for this to happen, these parts taken as a whole is what we call education. The role a teacher or professor plays in society is to better facilitate education. Education itself has no role it is but the system employed by those playing their roles and doing their part.

Why education is important in our life?

 Why Education is Important in Our Life?

     It is very easy to explain importance of education. No human beings are able to survive properly without education. By the means of education only one’s potential can be used to maximum extent. Education tells men how to think, how to work properly, how to make decision. Through education only one can make separate identity. It is most important in life like our basic need foods, clothe and shelter. With the beginning we learnt how to interact with others, how to make friends because of education only. As I remember when my parents had enrolled my name in school not only I learnt the alphabets and numbers but also I made friends, interacted with them with teachers.

With further development you were faced with the sense of competition and desire and other such emotions and feelings, you also learnt to control these emotions and feelings. And also teaches how to act in different situations. Education is not just restricted to teaching a person the basic academics, say computers, mathematics, geography or history education is a much larger term.

If you want to find out the impact of education on any individuality, you better do an intense observation to the ways of well-educated people and then compare them with an illiterate man. You would get a clear picture of the education and its accurate concept. Education is one of the important factors which formulate the persona of a person. Education is a productive and beneficial factor in a person’s life. It is everyone’s right to get. The training of a human mind is not complete without education. Only because of education a man are able to receive information from the external humanity, to notify him with past and receive all essential information concerning the present.

When one travels around the world, one observes to what an extraordinary degree human nature is the same, whether in India or Australia, London, Europe or America.
Conservative education makes independent thinking extremely complicated. If we are being educated merely to achieve distinction, to get a better job, to be more efficient, to have wider domination over others, then our lives will be shallow and empty. If we are being educated only to be scientists, to be scholars wedded to books, or specialists addicted to knowledge, then we shall be contributing to the destruction and misery of the world.

We may be highly educated, but if we are without meaningful combination of thought and feeling, our lives are incomplete and clashing. Education develops a meaningful outlook on life.

The individual are different but to accentuate the differences and to encourage the development of a definite type education is must.

Education is not just a matter of training the mind. Training makes for efficiency, but it does not bring about completeness. Knowledge and efficiency are necessary, which brings up by education.

Education should help us to discover lasting values; unfortunately, the present system of education is making us submissive, emotionless and deeply thoughtless.
Systems, whether educational or political, are not changed without explanation; they are transformed when there is a fundamental change in ourselves. The individual is of first importance, not the system; and as long as the individual does not understand the total process of himself, no system can bring order and peace to the world.

My personal insights in the importance of education

Importance Of Education

Education is the process of learning and knowing, which is not restricted to our school text-books. It is a holistic process and continues through our life. Even the regular happenings and events around us educate us, in one or the other way. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the existence of human beings is fruitless without education. An educated person has the ability to change the world, as he/she is brimming with confidence and assured of making the right moves. 

Definition of society

                                          Etymology and usage

The term "society" came from the Latin word societas, which in turn was derived from the noun socius ("comrade, friend, ally"; adjectival formsocialis) used to describe a bond or interaction among parties that are friendly, or at least civil. Without an article, the term can refer to the entirety of humanity (also: "society in general", "society at large", etc.), although those who are unfriendly or uncivil to the remainder of society in this sense may be deemed to be "antisocial". Adam Smith wrote that a society "may subsist among different men, as among different merchants, from a sense of its utility without any mutual love or affection, if only they refrain from doing injury to each other."^[1]

Used in the sense of an association, a society is a body of individuals outlined by the bounds of functional interdependence, possibly comprising characteristics such as national or cultural identity, social solidarity, language, or hierarchical organization.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society.

A society, or a human society, is a group of people related to each other through persistent relations, or a large social grouping sharing the same geographical or virtual territory, subject to the same political authority and dominant cultural expectations. Human societies are characterized by patterns of relationships (social relations) between individuals who share a distinctive culture and institutions; a given society may be described as the sum total of such relationships among its constituent members. In the social sciences, a larger society often evinces stratification and/or dominance patterns in subgroups.
