Adult Education Essential for Modern Men and Women

If we ponder over the nature of education I think education is an heavenly light that brings men of out of the darkness of illiteracy. All types of crimes in all societies are due to lack of education and nothing else. Those who are lack of education always make injustice at the country level and due to which crimes increase day by day al earth without fear.

As a burnt candle removes darkness just like education removes the darkness of human mind and soul. Modern politicians are not paying attention to adult education because if they educate adult men and women they will differ with them in every matter of politics and will demands their rights and their superiority will end with the passage of time.

In churches, mosques and temples true education is not being given because they know not what true education is. I think, true education builds human characters and soul and refines human mind from all doubts. Ancient education was free of doubts but modern education is full of doubts is the enemy of human faith and trust in God.

Adult education is generally misunderstood by the public of Pakistan. They take its meaning, the education of illiterate people. It is a wrong concept spreading in our country. In Pakistan educated men and women do not think what is the real nature of adult education and wasting money on it aimlessly without no result.

First of all, Mortimer J. Adler, the European writer and educationist used this term. According to Adler, it is for those who could not get education in schools, universities and colleges just due to financial crisis. Actually, adult education is for mature men and women who are better in understanding than the young. Those who are getting education are leading an ideal and artificial life. After leaving their learning places they come to know what real life is and what their problem are.

So to guide fresh graduates and post graduates adult education is considered essential in every country. Hence life is the main function of adult education. So the education must be given to mature intelligent person through adult education in school and colleges.

It is divided into two parts: first school system and second adult education. In democratic country people are made ready for democracy and the country syllabus reveals how to flourish democracy in the country. So our school and college are not working well due to not producing democratic minds and trends in the country. So for as the second point is considered, education is must for adult and there are three types of difference between the adult education which takes place in an adult life in practical field.

In the first place, adult education must be voluntary. You cannot compel adult to undergo a course of study and they are responsible for their own welfare. The second trait of education in adult life is equality among those who are involved in adult group discussion on different topics. Thus their ideas are refined for country and people benefits. The third characteristic of adult education is most important that they face and solve everything easily on the basis of adult education life experience. As we know wisdom is hard and comes by slowly.

To sum up, adult education is most important to make better the society in which we all are living. First of all the great books must be taught to the adult because it may not be understood by children. I firmly believe in that as we teach kids in the school on the same pattern if we start teaching great books to adult people, our country will improve very soon. In the second place, the greatest books deal with real life problems theoretically and practically. Because all the greatest books are precious found wisdom of our ancestors so the Government should provide great books to adult to maintain the adult mind structure. Keep in mind, mind food is reading. Reading makes full and its application in practical life makes men perfect.
