Because Education is the Syllabus of the life for all the skills required, and we all preserve and gain as per our capacity.
I don't think so because life is very large ...we have to take a little bit from all fields to have a good skill for example studying foreigne languages for4years is not enough to be a professional secretary..you have to take author courses such as technical secritery and computer courses
Your question is much complicated due to prevailing diversity in the education systems and life styles in differnt countries.
In some countries their education is compatible to their life style as in Australia.So the answer is YES.
In some countries education system is partially compatible to their life style as in Pakistan. So the answer is Yes and No simultaneously.
In some more other countries education is juxtaposed to their life styles as in Afghanistan. So the answer is No.
It means that a harmony among the education system and life style is inevitable to provide better opportunities to the students for adjusting in the society which makes the society progress in a healthy way. Only then we claim that education is providing students essential life skills.
It should. Most often formalized education does not. If this was the case then our education system would be constantly evolving to implement new subjects that are instrumental to teaching students survival skills. Schools primarily focus on fundamental skills Math, English, Science,and History which are only small components of skills needed to survive. To survive students need interpersonal skills, intrapersonal skills, basic budgeting, economics, team building, diversity training, global perspectives, and technology. These factors are extremely important to survival of this cohort but is barely touched upon in many schools. In the current workplace an absence of any of these skills would make it impossible for an individual to find or maintain employment. Without an employ how can one survive.
In my opinion education is necessary not for students only but for all to become good humans to the extent to think for the welfare of all mankind across the world. So far life skills are concerned, they can mostly be learnt / developed through real life experience.
YES, Education can help your long-term economic prospects and help you obtain and maintain a home or business in the future. Individuals who are educated are employed at higher rates and with greater consistency. They tend to make more informed decisions as consumers. They have greater work opportunities and tend to have skills that can be easily applied in different work settings and different geographic locations. In other words, they have many more work options, which helps stabilize their income in changing times.
In my view point, no. Teachers should adapt the syllabus to match the need of the students and use it to teach necessary life skill. This are of adapting the syllabus to meet the specific need of the student is the 'art' of the skillful teacher.
Not fully students are still "shielded" from "real" life to a degree. I would like to see more emphasis on "work experience" projects within the education process. Going out into the workplace and experiencing first hand what life will be like after school but conducted in a way that the student is accompanied/mentored, can only be a good thing.
Education is a must to every one. It portrays the code of conduct of every human. The schooling education is the base for the stuends to emerge in life to keep them forward the first step, but getting knowldege as per their interest and perspecive and practical education makes them the full man. It means experience (full knowledge of education) makes a full man. I believe.
Situations and scenarios differ Ahmed.What might be ideal in Egypt might not be so in in another country.Academically yes but l feel we are over-empasising the centrality of attainment of good academic grades as guarantee that one will do well in life.Some practical experience that marries school work with the reality in the work place is called for.An honest attempt at your useful question.
I don't think so at the present time as most of the educational authorities attempt to educate students traditionally, all the objectives are based on how to get high marks. For example, in teaching English , all the emphasis is on writing skills rather than the other language skills which are the most important to deal with the real life.
