教育目的英文作文.doc

The aim of educationNowadays, people pay great attention to education than ever before. There are mainly two reasons. First, it provides an easier way to get a job and a higher salary hence they neednt to worry about their livelihood compare to those uneducated workers who do these hard works in factories. Secondly, to meet the demand of the development of society, we need more and more persons with ability to make contribution for it. They must be taught professional skills and abundant knowledge as their support. Thus it seems like millions of accurate tools support the running of a never ending engine. In my opinion, may be “trained” can describes this phenomenon more properly compare to “educated”. Because it is not the ultimate aim of education which should be focus on far beyond that.

I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear.” the ultimate aim of education should teach students to explore the true meaning of life. And I believe that Thoreau finally found the heaven in his heart. Our education shouldnt be like a machine that produce
