Is Education important, Why?

Education gives knowledge of world around us It helps us give opinions and also debate on many things It also teaches us the right behavior, manners and how to

lead and live our lives It equips us with all things needed to make our dreams

true Opens opportunities to a great career Also wipes out all the bad beliefs It builds a confidence to make decisions throughout your

life It tells you how to accept failures and successes
