7.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?The most important goal of education is to teach people how to educate themselves.
（绝对词+事实）
Education plays a significant role for both individuals and society nowadays,and thus arouse people to consider the goals of it.Some experts on education advocate that the most important goal of education is to teaching people how to educate themselves.While, as far as I am concerned,even though there is an element of truth in such a statement,to say learning how to educate ourselves is the most essential goal is absolutely an overstatement.
Admittedly,learning is ultimately an individual thing,which means we all finally have to learn how to study by ourselves and digest new knowledge without the help from our teachers and parents.Even though during our childhood,our kindergarten teachers told us how to read and write correctly,it is clear that when we are admitted in universities,the way we learn is not following every word our professors tell us,the most valuable lesson we learn at college is how to behave,think and finally how to educate ourselves when we enter the society having no so-called teachers accompanying around us any longer. However,from a different individual perspective or a nation view,I would not take the most important goal as self-education.
From an individual view,the reason we receive education lies in the aspiration of
self-improvement.When a person decides to receive tertiary education,he might not think the stuff of self-education,but instead of that,the pure incentive might be stepping further in the area which he or she is interested in and wanna take as a career in the near future. Take my brother for example.After finishing undergraduate education,in order to get himself well equipped as a doctor,which is his dream job since he was a little boy,he chose to apply for medical graduate student.Even though he has dabbled in various medical knowledge,it is clear that further education in medical college provides him more systematic and professional knowledge.Therefore,,for him,the most important goal of further education is to prepare him to be a better person and make sure a prospective career life.
From a nation standpoint,making sure people involved in school builds solid foundation for the development of the whole country.No one can deny the saying,knowledge is power,which can be interpreted as erudite people contribute significantly to the society and the country.Take China for example.Years ago,China introduced
nine-year-compulsory education,in which all of the kids are obliged to attend school before15years old,following the belief that"read for the rise of China".What is more,the more people admitted to school,the greater chance it is to cultivate excellent people act as mainstay for the revitalization of the nation.Thus,it is undoubted that,for a nation, education aims at prosperity and development rather than merely learning self-education.
