Some people believe that learning is a permanent process that goes further than formal education. Although there might be some reasons why learning throughout the whole life is vital, I still believe that it is as significant as formal education.
There’s a reason why formal education is valuable is that it helps develop basic knowledges and skills for young learners. Initially, when students study in schools, they get used to the new environments and improve their socializing skill as well as receiving new friends to create social relationships that would be very supportive when the pupils grow up. Additionally, if the learners are potential enough they could take courses at universities and colleges to get a certificate that considered as a optimal solution to apply for high-salary jobs.
Moving on to lifelong learning, which is also beneficial for the youngster. As it brings about countless of experiences and lessons that could only be able to obtain through real life situations. Studying outside the school zone, such as in an office may equips the graduated with significant skills like writing a contract or sorting data, which are typical skills that rarely appeared in schools. Moreover, encountering mistakes and errors are also inevitable for those who completed formal education as they would have to discover the solutions themselves and throughout achieve lessons that would be useful in the way to orientate their lives.
To summarize, while it is hard to deny the importance of lifelong learning, formal education is also considered to be the same priority.
