ROLE OF FORMAL EDUCATION IN HUMAN LIFE, CURRENT CHALLENGES AND FUTURE PROSPECTS IN INDIAN CONTEXT

Education is not how well you can read, write, speak and listen but whether you can communicate and interact with and perceive the world around you. A good education system not only teaches you practical skills but also helps you broaden your perception, gain better understanding, and teaches you to think for good society. Youths today are quite aware and comfortable speaking about social injustices and other current issues. This can be attributed to the increased access to formal education around the world, which in turn has made people more accepting and open-minded. Therefore, education is a very crucial element of human evolution and development. The importance of formal education is also pronounced in areas of creativity and new innovation. Education encourages thinking outside the boundaries. Education makes aware about life and problems.
