The purpose of Education in my opinion.

In today’s world, education is a factor of valuing a person. The better education you get, the more respect you get from the society. If you get more and more education, you get to be more and more valuable. Learning has became a main factor of choosing a person to be needed or unneeded. However, the reason why education exists is not to evaluate people, who are all needed, but to give them their right to live doing what they want to do.
If you read the novel, The Red Pony, of John Steinback, you can see that Jody, the kid of this story, dreams of riding a pony raised by his own hands. To do this, he learns from a hired-hand man named Bill at his father’s farm. Jody gets educated on how to raise a pony and all the stuff he needs to keep a farm. The education Jody gets is not to make him seem needed to the farm or not, but to allow him to be able to do what he dreams of.
Also, in the famous novel, Harry Potter, you can see the real purpose of learning by the main character, Harry Potter. Before Harry started learning magic, he did not have a real purpose of life. He did not know much about himself, nor his family, and had no friends. But after he knew who he really was and started going to magic school, he met people he wanted to love and protect and found a dream of defeating his ultimate enemy, Voldemont, and becoming a great magician, just like his father was. Being educated at his magic school allows him to achieve what he set as a final goal, not making him valuable or not.
Education has been important to every person, everywhere throughout human history. However, the purpose of it has changed in the wrong way. People should always cognize the true purpose of education. It is not given to people to make them seem needed. It is given to keep people living, allowing them to have a dream and being able to achieve it.
