Before knowing the importance of education, we all should be aware of what education is. Why is it important and necessary?

Education simply refers to the learning, writing, and discipline that are concerned with methods of teaching and learning new things in schools or school-like environments. School is not the only source of education. Education is just learning new things that you can learn from anyone, anywhere.

As we all know, the legend Nelson Mandela rightly said, "Education is the most important weapon to change the world."

Education plays a vital or important role in the development of an individual and in making him a knowledgeable, punctual, and disciplined citizen. It is not only for personal growth; it is also important or necessary for a nation's development.
