GET EDUCATED!!!

You may be wondering what Education has got to do with walking in purpose. Oh Yes, A lot actually!!!

 

Education is good when people learn the right thing but it can be a destroyer too, depending on who  the teacher is and what is being taught. Education can be a key to success for some people and a path to destruction for some others. As much as we need people to get education, we need good, God fearing teachers who can impact the lives of our children and all students worldwide with the Knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits they need to become who they have been born to be.

 

The origin of  formal Education can be traced back to the church. During those years, the church impacted the world far more than we are having now. The Educational system that brought morals to the world has been watered down and adulterated. 

 

what about the dropouts? Half education is dangerous, it is synonymous with half truth which is no truth. people should be encouraged to finish at least their secondary school education which will give them the basics they need to support themselves in life.

 

Think about the lives you will be affecting if you are a gifted teacher and someone who has a lot to give in the Education sector. Please read this article and think of how you can help, the advantages of Education far outweighs the disadvantage, if any.

Lack of education ‘as deadly as smoking’, study suggests

A new study has suggested that dropping out of school early may be just as deadly as smoking.
Researchers at the University of Colorado Denver analysed data going back to 1925, and calculated that 145,000 deaths in the US in 2010 could have been prevented if adults who didn’t finish high school had graduated. That figure is comparable to the estimated number of lives that could have been saved if all the country’s smokers had quit.
Of course, having a lack of education doesn’t directly correlate with a higher mortality risk, but it does indirectly through well-established factors associated with leaving school early – earning less, poorer mental well-being, decreased likelihood of adopting healthy behaviours and so on.
‘Our results suggest that policies and interventions that improve educational attainment could substantially improve survival in the US population, especially given widening educational disparities,’ co-author Patrick Krueger said.

‘Unless these trends change, the mortality attributable to low education will continue to increase in the future.’
Virginia Chang, the study’s other author, added: ‘Paying attention to education has the potential to substantively reduce mortality.’
Current estimates suggest more than 10 per cent of the US population aged between 25 and 34 never finished high school. Another 28.5 per cent haven’t completed a college degree.
Researchers say that they do not necessarily believe everyone should pursue higher education, but they say it should be a goal to get everyone to finish high school.
