“In a knowledge driven economy, the continuous updating of skills and the development of lifelong learning will make the difference between success and failure, and between competitiveness and decline.” – David Blunkett
Lifelong Investment
Earning a good education is a lifelong investment. This could mean wide range of career opportunities, and job options. However, not everyone has the privilege to continue studies at colleges and universities due to financial constraints. It is the foremost reason that impedes a person to pursue a good education. For this reason, grant for education has been established and has become available to provide assistance for underprivileged individuals in their pursuit of having equal opportunity in obtaining good education.
A World of Opportunities
Learning is more than the basics of reading and writing. It signifies important and practical knowledge that can be applied in different expertise and profession. Those important practices that can be gained at school include discipline, hard work, and perseverance. These characteristics are deemed important to help individuals succeed in the corporate world. Thus, the importance of education should not be overlooked. In fact, a research explains the relevance of education to employment, as well as the significance of furthering education. The research shows that a graduate of bachelor’s degree is unemployed at 6.1 percent as compared with associate graduates, which the statistics shows, has 8.8 percent unemployment rate. Additionally, it is a fact that education helps us further understand the changing needs of our community.
