Education
plays a vital role in the development of any society. Intellectual
advancement leads society to the higher standard with other mainstream
civilization. Life’s standard of the citizen of particular place
manifests the standard of education of that place or vice-versa. Now,
mainly due to privatization of the education, the real essence of
education has gone into disguise. There was a time when people use to
get education for the overall development of an individual or indeed to
create a real human-being. But now it is becoming only a medium to get
into some profession specially trend is being set to get more than six
digits in the salary.
In
backward society like ours, most of the Elite class is the first
generation from us, who always tries to get uplifted more and more
leaving the whole mass behind the gloomy world. So, we need
“mass-up-liftment” in education not individual one only. Single
individual cannot be much fruitful as they go away from the society and
get settled with advanced society instead of guiding his own society.
So, learning is a never ending process, and “getting a quality higher education for the poor should not be a luck by chance but they should have right to access it”.
Being a good human being and a good professional at the same time is
tedious task now. As there are scarcity of jobs available people are
forced to do the work which are not of their interest. Unemployment,
job-satisfaction, work load everything matters a lot in developing a
well human being and a healthy society. So, choosing a right profession
and preparation is the crucial and decisive turning point in one’s life.
In our case right guidance is hardly available. So, culture of
long-vision should be cultivated among us. Despite of all problems and
difficulties we have to manage to aim at the right target.
10th Board exam becomes the milestone to architect the individual’s future and that of the society. Thus, choice after 10th
should be clear and chosen based on future goals with necessary
assistance and availability of the resources. Your choice should match
with your interest and empower you to achieve your goal at every cost.

course or professional and 4) overall your interest which pulls the
engine.
