The Concept of Education
In the beginning of the 21st century it is very difficult to look for a meaning that will clearly define the concept of Education in a way that it would be accepted by all. It is because for some, the meaning and sense of education has already been corrupted and at the present time, certain situations indicate that it is too opposite from its meaning. People seem to become apathetic on the study and get too little understanding given a reading material as surveyed by the National Survey on Practices of Reading. Fortunately, others see education as a process which is a tool for the fundamental development of a human being beginning from childhood.
Moreover, To define education is very complicated since its character is interrelated to other fields. As what the concept of education and other professor’s stated, the teacher who teaches and the student who “must” learn have taught us education itself, the actions and effects of education, the raising of education and the doctrine that teaches the children complete the instructions.
Strengths and Weaknesses of Present Education
For centuries, it has become a habit for our systematized education to fulfill its complex several goals. But now, the main goal of the government is to simplify its intricacy and provide a better system that can clearly guide the students.
Walking with education is a difficult responsibility for the reason that you may not achieve your goals if you are not careful and prudent enough to think of the certain and uncertain things.
However, today we can only say that education is the one which “Gives commands”. It does not require much analysis and reflection to understand this position because it only indicates a teacher who has the authority to handle the class whether they are interested or not and whether the teacher’s methods are suitable for the lecture or not.
Education with the Theory
The personal reflection that I do is that I try to have a critical summary that tries to directly respond to education. But I have no intention to invade the field of the other researchers who had used scientific approach to study education.
Most encyclopedias also say and use the same concept and method about education. But now, these meanings of education are widened and seem to show otherwise. So in this new era, there is a demand for new strategies based on theory to be used in education. This is because the new generation deserves new methods, different learning process and new approaches that would widen their knowledge and thus, placing the students into the center of development. The function of the teacher is then harmonized and parents would be more satisfied.
On the other hand, public education must be extended and defended. It gives authentic values that continue to be an effective one for all. One of the many humanistic educations is to learn despite the current situation we are in right now globally. Special knowledge and skills are necessary to cope up with all the problems we deal in our society as well.
The Education that We Want
In the middle of the 21st century, people are very much aware of their mind, body and spirit and yes, because of that, they have a healthy balance of their holistic health in general though sometimes it may be dependent on how they deal about the current issues in the society particularly that we are dealing right now with global issues.
But, from this deep reflection, we want to believe that this will form better educated people. Better readers, responsible citizens who serve as stewards of the environment and better participants of political decision making. This will yield more talented and potentially inclined students in arts and cultures. As for the educators, their profession to teach will have to be a vocation in life, understanding that they facilitate learning and for that they must learn constantly.
To the others, it must be acceptable that there would always be range of levels as far as abilities and skills are concerned. For this reason, there should be a collaborative atmosphere, sharing of experiences and mutual support.
Nothing more can be satisfactory when an educator remains in the memory of his students. For that reason, the educator must be a motivator of interest to learn. His teachings must be carried beyond classroom discussions.
Finally, if someone is optimistic enough to learn from his mistakes, then it is sure that he’ll grow as a person and if someone looks for solutions, one finds solutions. There is always an answer for everything, and as we have already seen, education is not only for one person, it is for everybody. But the only problem is that, we lack the best and good educators. Also, when it comes with financial problems, a lot of children nowadays don’t have the opportunity to go to school.
Maybe if the government tries to expand in helping these children for their education, then we don’t really need to worry on what lies in the future because we know that our children and following generations will handle the world positively.

Do you or someone you love suffer from Diabetes? One of the things that is very important to understand if you have been diagnosed with diabetes is that nutrition plays a major role in combating any further damage from diabetes. Diabetes occurs when the pancreas can no longer produce the amount of insulin necessary to maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
