Hello friends!
With time passing by today education has taken a totally different look.The way earlier it was shaped has been changed in this modern world.Earlier moral education played a very important role as to inculcate high moral values in the child.More attention was paid in spiritual development unlike today where professional education has almost replaced it.
Even when we were students in primary's we had moral study classes ,but now i feel that the trend is dying somewhere and there is a need for it once again.
It is not bad to focus on professional education but somewhere there is a strong need for moral standards to be set during the foundation years of the child as to help him in becoming a more mature and obedient.
This should be taken into serious consideration as to bring up more mature generation.What do you feel?

it should be on both learning as well as earning because both are equally important,eduacation should be like so that every child should enjoy it it should not be responsibility on students.

I think education needs to teach the children the things they need to healthy mental, intellectual and physical development. When it comes to spiritual development and some moral standards I think that is the job of the parents. They need to teach kids morals and values based on their beliefs and allow the child to form their ideas. Schools should teach them the other things about reading, writing etc.

For me, being a student is more about what I'm learning, the skills that I'm acquiring, and such. It gives me an opportunity to grow and learn things that I wouldn't have learned had I not become a university student. And this opportunity will also give a chance to have good work opportunities. Jobs that I can be proud of, jobs that I would like to have. It's not the money that I could make. It's the skills gained and the job opportunities that I may have.

I think you should not really learn to earn, but If you are good at a certain something at School, you should be put in a class, and taught everthing about it only.
At School I was not very good at lots of subjects and so much time was wasted learning these unimportant things. Our abilities should be discovered at an early age. Why waste important time on things that will probably be useless to us.
I still think discipline is very important at School and needs to be tougher for children to learn respect, rules and manners.
