According to advance learner dictionary, it defines Education as process of teaching, training and learning, especially in schools or college to ‘improve’ knowledge and develop skills. From the definition one will be see the aims of Education is of two opinion if I may say.
It’s believe that all human being were bore or assumed to have one or other knowledge from their different background and this knowledge is of various time so the need to improve such knowledge arises thus the need to go to school ! In actual fact there is needs to develop already existing skill to make it a skill labour or what so ever career he/she wanted to choose.
During the schooling period al lot of practical experiences are learning in the school and for a given period of time students are still allow to go and have six / three month of experience in company and later go back to school for theoretical part of the work
So to say after acquired all the perquisite knowledge and develop their skills for a period of four to six years in the University its not expected of any person that he/she will be able to gather money to set up his or her own business instantly meaning that there is need to go outside to look for work I even remember that in my country ever before you graduated from the school the company that will employ you is out for you to secure a job but looking at the present situation you have to search search for employment is even a matter of whom you known and which suppose not to be .
In my conclusion I will like to say that education is just to prepare us towards the challenge after the graduation but notwithstanding the expectation of average grandaunt is to secure job immediately after the graduation and if proved otherwise one need to be job created and not job seeker so to be the part of development to the community.

education is like the key to the doors for living, we are entering in. when we are tought enough to enter through those doors we try to take advantage from the knowledge we'd been given, and later we try to pass it on the students, ppl, who are getting into it. the whole time we learn, teach new things, we don't know yet.
education is the one, who bring us together, and get us the joy to experience new things. throughout the education we are enriching ourselves.
i liked some points of your analyse

Knowledge is light so also education, could you imagine how one is going to look like without having deserved skill or knowledge to survive in this life !
It really prepared you towards what you are to be in and what to be in future.
Thus education makes you to find yourself in a better place irrespective of your cultural or ethnics group, without education you have no access to your right you will be cheated of your right and for you to know what it take something tangible might have passed you !

Education can be classified into two, according to how I view it
1 Education can be regards to as formal
2 Education can also be informal
The Informal education is the one which each and everyone of us learn or received from our individual parent so also this type of education is also inborn in individual i.e. how creativity you are you find some people they will be doing some kinds of play like making kite drawing in the early age of their life if you look at those kids when they finally grow they will like to read some course like engineering when they got to the university and so on like that .We must bear it in mind that it’s the encouragement / incentives of the parent that determine whether such kids will like to further the education.
However parent teach their child how to do particular work take for instance a farmer parent will definitely like to take his child/ren to the farm and tell him how to do some particular activities on the farm.
The formal education is the one we received from the ‘westerner’ meaning that the one will receive at our various collage/university, where we more skills is being imparted on us on various discipline , but the amusing thing about this type of education is that you might read a caring course but find yourself in another field of life
Henceforth it prepared each and every one us against the challenges in future .so nobody will not be burden to another, hence it make you and I to be what we are today but surprisingly some those chose to implement what they have learn from both side (home and school) at end all they become tug and threaten to the society.
(factors responsible for this shall be discuss when I get to the third aspect Crime in the Society……. And more) watch out

Academic education is just a platform where you can train yourself and gain several skills. The information and experience we take from academic staff is for showing us various ways we can go in life. One have to figure out which path to choose and what is needed for that path. After graduation he has only learnt to learn. It's like acquiring a swiss blade. What to do with it is limited with our imagination.
