The most basic human needs include food, water, shelter and clothing. Aside from these, human beings also have a need to gain knowledge as well as skills. These knowledge and skills are very necessary to bring food and water to the table, to build suitable shelter and to acquire ample and comfortable clothing. Because these knowledge and skills are necessary, there is need to impart and pass them, and at the same time improve and boost them. To accomplish this seemingly hard task, a process called education has proven to be effective.
The educative process has been very effective in imparting knowledge, skills, values and other important aspects of humanity from one person to another. Education has been defined as a process between two generations. There is, however, a big difference now. The age of teachers and students has varied in recent years and decades. It is not a question of who is older, but a question of who possesses more knowledge and better skills. There are old individuals who seek to gain more knowledge or skills about a certain matter, having young persons who have mastered such knowledge or skills as their teachers. To some degree, the amount of knowledge and skills a person has also depends on his experience on a certain field. Specialization has been the theme of education nowadays. This is how the current educative process works.
Nowadays, it is hard to land a job if you do not have educational qualifications to prove your knowledge and skills. Certificates just exist to prove that you are worthy to be offered a job and gain the resources to acquire your basic needs. The most important thing is to undergo the educative process zealously to gain the needed knowledge and skills.
