Paragraph On Aims of Education
Education is the root of all progress.
The aim of education is to make a full and happy man. To achieve this purpose
cultivation and development of the latent faculties of man are necessary. But
man has a body and a mind. So education should aim at the development of both
of them. The human brain has enormous capacities and education should aim at
creating an atmosphere and opportunities for developing those faculties. The brain
cannot work properly in a diseased body. So the aim of education should be to
create a sound mind in a sound body. And this alone can make a complete and
happy man. So a complete system of education should include liberal, technical, and physical approaches. Liberal studies like literature, history, philosophy, and the physical sciences broaden one’s mind. Technical education enables
someone to conquer the forces of nature and helps them to earn a living. Physical education gives them a good healthy body. Thus, the aim of education
should be to produce a complete, enlightened man who must be useful to society
and humanity at large.
