Looking at the concept of ‘a school’, a lot of people have various ideas and definitions when talking about it. Among the varying definitions, some of them define school as a multitude, some define it as an institution dedicated to teaching and learning (educational institution), some define it as an establishment offering specialized instructions like driving, cooking, typing, coding and so on. But in this context, we will be dwelling and laying emphasis on school as an educational institution.
“Getting educated is being imparted with knowledge, skill and judgement.”
Hence, school is primarily all about learning (knowledge gained, skills acquired,etc). Now, you don’t just go to school because you feel like going, but you go because you want to gather more knowledge, relating to the life outside that eventually at the end of the day will change the world. Leo Buscaglia said,” Change is the end result of all true learning”. This is where some people get it wrong. They go to school solely for the purpose of just let me go to this school sef, not for the purpose of gaining more knowledge.
Education gives us knowledge of the world around us while changing the world into something better. It grows and develops in us a perspective to look at life. It also helps to build up opinions and have perspectives on our environment and life. Not only does it mean giving us a book knowledge, it also teaches different kinds of knowledge in different fields like drawing, singing, painting, morality, etc.

Nobody learns anything categorically new sitting at home. Going to school and getting educated enables you to acquire new knowledge. Anthony J. D’Angelo “Develop a passion for learning. If you do this, you will never stop your growth”.
The role of getting educated is to develop something new rather than relying on old ideas and innovations. See education as an important tool in your life and you will make a difference in the world. Therefore do not see SCHOOL as being a scam but see it as a training ground and a place you are to gain from.
