What Really Is Education?

Have you ever been asked what really education is before? 

 May be it was from your son or from your daughter, or you may have asked that question yourself due to mere curiosity.

Whatever the case may be, it is necessary and equally important to know what really education is and it impact on us.

The word “educate” comes from the Latin word, “ducere” meaning to draw out or lead.

So education simply means to draw out or lead people to their potentials or gifts in life.

What this means to me is that, a person (student), need to find out his/her gifts and then look for someone (teacher) who can draw that gifts out so to help him or her become a better person.

 In other words, an educator (teacher) must and should be able to find out a person's (student) gifts/potentials and draws out from them so to make them a better person.

 In most cases, you can identify a person's gifts by knowing their specific learning style. 

 You can learn more about how to identify your child's learning style from here:


 So education is not really about “PUTTING IN” as some may think rather it is about drawing out or leading a person to his or her potentials.

It is the act of helping people to learn how to do things and encouraging them to think about what they learn. It is also the means of teaching people how to find and use information to solve their problems.

Through education, the knowledge and skills of family society, country, and of the world can be passed on from generation to generation.

With education, we can have the power and capability to be whoever and do whatever we desire. With education, we can all become special and agents of change.

Education is what helps us to improve what we consider appropriate, changes what bothers us and build upon past accomplishments. And we do all these things with one purpose: Leave a World better than the one we found.

With the development of society; education has taken many shapes, such as child education, adult education, technical education, health education, physical education and so on. 

However in general terms education can be classified into three main categories.

For many parents having a son or daughter take the Junior High School or Senior High School Certificate Exams brings back waves of fear and anxiety which they last experienced when taking the exam themselves.

Ghana’s Free SHS - Review

Image
It is clear that by now most of us are aware of the government policy of instituting a free SHS for all citizens of Ghana. This is evidently clear that, as people, we have realised that education is key and critical to our development as a nation. The acknowledgement of this fact is paramount in the quest to transform our economy by creating wealth and improving the living standards of all citizens.
From personal analysis with regard to views expressed by experts in education, as well as political commentators and views of various political parties on the issue of free SHS, I can conclude that it’s a good concept. However it seems to me that most people are not clear about what really the free SHS concept is about and what it intends to do for it citizens. Let me take the opportunity now to review this concept and touch on few salient issues that need to be considered.
I would like to hear what you also think about this, so feel free to leave a comment below:

Does your son has trouble spelling or does your daughter finds it difficult sitting still for history class, don’t worry.  It may be that he or she simply has a different learning style.
Children receive and process information — that is, learn — in different ways based partly on their environments but mostly on their genetic profiles. Experts have identified three primary learning styles into which nearly all children (and adults) fall: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Even at a very early age, observational clues can indicate a likely learning style. 
Once you identify whether your child learns primarily by looking, listening, or doing, you can help shape his or her educational experience so that it prioritizes this primary learning style, whi…

How to Encourage Your Child to Love Learning

Image
Ultimately, we want our kids to develop love for learning. A passion for learning is quite different from just studying to earn a grade or to please parents or teachers. Those who develop a love of learning at an early age continue the process throughout their lives and are generally more successful, interesting, and happier than those who don't.
Most parents read to their young kids, which help encourage imagination, language, and an early love of learning. But not all children remain curious and inquisitive into adolescence. Alarmingly, studies have found that from third grade on, a child's enjoyment of learning drops continuously -- a phenomenon some researchers blame on the increasing focus on grades and report cards as kids get older. Younger children, on the other hand, learn for the sheer joy of it.
You can do a lot now to help your child maintain this healthy attitude throughout school. To captivate a young mind, let your child do what comes naturally and make learning a…

How To Secure A Better Future For Your Child

Image
The future is everything.
In my How To Identify Your Child’s Learning Style series (Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4) you learned that every child is unique with a specific learning style. You’ve also learnt:
How To Identify A Child’s Unique Learning Style.
How To Help A Child With Visual Learning Style To Excel.
How To Help A Child With Auditory Learning Style To Excel.
How To Help A Child With Kinesthetic Learning Style To Excel.
A Cautionary Note Unfortunately, most people don’t fit perfectly into one of the three learning style categories. 

So the real skill here is somewhat counterintuitive – you have to allow your child to explore all the different ways of learning and then choose the one that best fit him/her depending on his/her responds.
The reason why this is the case comes down to the future.
There’s a time to reproduce all what one have learnt.
No wonder people struggle to get results – it’s so easy to use the right learning style for the wrong person.
Remember! You are your child’s…

What Is Learning Disability (LD)?

Image
Learning disability is a general term that describes conditions that affect the brain's ability to receive, process, analyze, or store information. These problems can make it difficult for a student to learn as quickly as someone who isn't affected by learning disabilities. There are many kinds of learning disabilities. Most students affected by them have more than one kind. Certain kinds of learning disabilities can interfere with a person's ability to concentrate or focus and can cause someone's mind to wander too much. Other learning disabilities can make it difficult for a student to read, write, spell, or solve math problems. The way our brains process information is extremely complex — it's no wonder things can get messed up sometimes. Take the simple act of looking at a picture, for example, Our brains not only have to form the lines into an image, they also have to recognize what the image stands for, relate that image to other facts stored in our memories, a…

Parental Tips For Kids With Learning Disability

Image
In our previous lesson, we looked at what learning disability is, causes and it symptoms. In this lesson however, I want to focus on what parents must do to assist kids with learning disability.
Just because your child has trouble studying for a test doesn't mean he or she have a learning disability. There are as many learning styles as there are individuals. Some people are just naturally slower readers or learners than others, but they still perform well for their age and abilities. Sometimes, what seems to be a learning disability is simply a delay in development; the person will eventually catch up with — and perhaps even surpass — his or her peers. But many people with learning disabilities struggle for a long time before someone realizes that there's a reason they're having so much trouble learning. Once a person's particular problem has been pinpointed, he or she can then follow strategies or take medicines to help cope with the disability. A child with learning dis…
