Social Security: Education

Education is quite important for every individual to progress and prosper in this world. A country can never ever boast of its population as an asset unless, it has attained a 100% literacy rate. Education undoubtedly is the sole aspect required for development. It's quite doleful that we are still striving and longing to reach the magic figure of 100% literacy rate. Even today a vast majority of our population has never been to a school, what talk of being a drop out? On the other hand most of those who have the proud privilege to go to schools are not lucky enough to continue after Std. 8 th due to high fees. And now, left are the few who study for about 25 years and become professionally wonderful but socially they are terrible. They become corrupt and that's why we may experience today the whooping rate of corruption in every sphere of life. Luckily, the few who go against all odds make us and our nation proud. But won't it be nice if every individual has an easy access to quality education. Instead of preparing kids to go against all odds, shan't we try and prepare a system where everything runs smooth and there is no implementation bottleneck. Of course, we shall. We ought to have education security, the most vital part of social security.
As a part of this social security, we'll need to impart free and quality education to every student. But how antonymous the situation is, that instead of providing free education, today several educational bodies are being run as a business establishment just for a sole purpose 'Money'. The situation is quite demanding now that we provide quality education to one and all so that each one has a feeling for the society that 'Yes, the society cared for me and thus I too have a responsibility to give back all it owes to me.' For social security of education, we need to uplift the level of government schools so that many more students go there to pursue education. And we all should make it very clear that if education is provided to one and all then a full-fledged social security will be ensured whether that is of food, or health or maybe education itself. Thus, it should be implemented in the society that a child does not belong merely to his parents but to his whole society.

Education is that Security which can equip one with the skills to exploit opportumities and avail other necessary securities of Life, Today in rural areas of India people are succumbing to easily curable diseases for the lack of right knowledge either because knowledge is not at the door step or because the person is not aware for the lackof Education. There are upteen number of Government policies to ensure security of food, health and shelter but how many of them are able to avil it. they hardly know anything of that exists. These ignorant people are vulnearble to deadly diseases like AIDS, how will they ever be able to know about it. Only Education can Empower them for all these...
So Education is the ultimate Security...
And each one of us has right to it
