1. Educationisalifelongtask.Doyouagreeordisagree?

Nelson Mandela said that education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the
world.
So in order to change the world,to be a good person that helps other people,you must understand how important
and necessary continuous education is.Think about the great discoveries and masterpieces of the world .They
required a lot of continuous study,work,ambition,skills and time!
I strongly agree with the statement that education is a lifelong task because we cant educate ourselves
in just a short period of time,during our school years. We need time to assimilate,to understand and to use the
informations that we learned, we received from others.Rome wasn't built in a day!
Education is a never ending process and human life is a period of learning and observation. No human beings
are able to survive properly without education.We are born helpless and ignorant,but we gradually grow up and
develop our knowledge and skills. Knowledge is a powerful tool that teaches us to survive,to develop
personally,and we have so much to learn,so little time!
This complex activity of learning begins in the first year of life and continues throughout life. As a child or a
teenager ,you spend more time in school than in any other activity . Education is your "job" , and the school is
the center of your social activity. Its important to know what you want , to have a purpose in life and study hard
for it because life without education becomes aimless.
But education covers the whole existence of an individual ,it doesnt begin when schools starts or
ends when school is completed. We learn from different sources (from books , teachers ,mass-media, family
members, our friends and colleagues) and we learn our entire life.Every experience we have teaches us
something,helps us grow and develop,brings maturity and teaches us to live in a society with a changing
environment, teaches us to be the person that we want to be and to have courage to stand up for our rights.
Continuing education leads to job security ,to higher salaries, career advancement, and personal enrichment.It
also provides you a longer life in good health.
Through continuing education the individual nourishes his present and future by ensuring aim of his life.
