Europe Youth Education

The content of education still belong to the past. Education suffers basically from what the report describes as the gap between its contents and living experience of its pupils between the system of values that it preaches and the goals set up by society, between its ancient curricula and the modernity of science. ( Report of the International Education Commission)

The end of knowledge is wisdom

The end of culture is perfection

The end of wisdom is freedom

The end of education is character

Education means an all round drawing out of the best in child and man-body, mind and spirit.
The imperative character of education for individual growth and social development is now accepted by every one. Investment in the education of its youth considered as most vital by all modern nations. Such an investment understandably acquires top priority in developing countries.

The end of all education, all training should be man making. The end and aim of all training is to make the man grow. The training by which the current and expression are brought under control and become fruitful is called education.

Education plays a vital role in giving human beings proper equipment to lead a gracious and harmonious life.

Education is a fundamental means to bring any desired change in society, which is an accepted fact throughout the world. This can be attained only if schools become real centres of learning. Education not only helps in the development of personality of the child but also determines his future. Recent psychological research has shown that favourable attitudes towards life develop in the earliest stages of child growth.

Education gives solutions for any type of problems. Through education we promote values and good habits and awareness towards corruption, terrorism and disease.

Education helps to continue communication with known and unknown persons through technology and mass media.

Education gives strength to the person. They get knowledge and discriminate which is wrong and which is right with the help of education. Through education we inculcate values in the students and readers.

A study from the Prince’s Trust and RBS found there were more than 25,800 young people claiming unemployment benefit for over 12 months at a cost of some £155m a week according to reports.

This was a 442% increase on the number in 2008, before the financial crisis began, and takes the youth jobless rate to a 16-year high.

“This is not just a welfare burden – lost productivity and wasted potential directly affect the rate of economic growth in the UK. It’s crucial for the economy that young people have the skills and confidence they need to find work and view entrepreneurship as a realistic option.” Said Chris Grayling, the Employment Minister.

Young people with fewer qualifications were hardest hit by the recession, adding to the education debate. We need to look at this from beginning to end. Why not look at teaching trade skills at school? Why not load university fees for those wanting to study courses where there is no industrial demand?

If the numbers are right this is an £8bn a year prize here, surely meriting considerable attention from the educators and politicians in order to produce what society requires. Also it must be soul destroying to emerge from education after 13-17 years and not be able to get a job of any kind although it should be noted that 91% of graduates successfully obtained a job within 6 months of graduating

The new figures take the UK youth unemployment rate above many other European countries, including Germany, Denmark, Austria, Norway and Holland.
