Importance of Adult Education Speech 3

"Respected Principal, Vice Principal, Dear Colleagues and Lovely Students – Warm Greetings to all of you!! Hope this day finds you in a good spirit!

Children, as you all know that our school is going to be a part of one education program, run by an NGO, meant for the adults. It is considered important to educate our children on the sensitivity of Adult Education and why it is so important in our present-day society. I hope you understand that democracy in the absence of education is meaningless. It is knowledge or education that helps a nation progress and takes it to the great heights of achievement. But sadly speaking, the current situation in India is so distressing that the majority of our population lives under deplorable conditions and cannot afford even basic education. Currently, more than half of the people in India are illiterate who cannot even understand what is good for them or not. They work at meager wages and let themselves be exploited by the capitalist system.

Adult education is the desperate need of the hour because it is being a powerful auxiliary, including a pertinent incentive to basic education. If our adult will remain uneducated, the government effort to achieve complete literacy rate in our country will not come to fruition.

Social education is required so that our adult can utilize their time in recreational activities and towards building a healthy lifestyle. Lastly, ignorance and illiteracy are a sin and illiterate adults are no less than a burden in our society. They are like stagnant water that cannot breed new life. Therefore, we should try and promote adult education in our living surroundings. The aim of all good teaching boils down to produce positive changes in human behavior and develop compassion, empathy and sensitivity towards their fellow beings. Adult education can prove to be a great emancipator for the adults in our society, if done rightfully and with a good heart.

Here are a few important points in relation with adult education, let’s try and understand these:

We should understand that not every adult has had the opportunity to become educated. But when they are turned old and getting an opportunity to learn and discover a new side to themselves they should not get discouraged and go ahead.

Learning is a lifelong process and if adult people are getting to gain knowledge even at this juncture, it should be much appreciated.

Adult education will make the adults confident about themselves and empower them to take sensible decisions about their lives.

The aptitude and confidence gained through adult education will prove to be valuable not only for them, but also for their families and communities.

It will give adults the opportunity to better their skills and place themselves well in the employment sector.

Last but not the least, it will also bring down the illiteracy rate in our country and contribute in the overall growth of our nation.

Thus, the potential of adult education should be unleashed so that more and more people can benefit out of it and make our place a better place to live in.

Thank You!
