How can I write english essay on education ?
Indo-Canadian
Education:
Given
that the Indian language system has traditionally been different than the
French and English educational systems in Canada, is it correct to say that
bilingual education in Canada has contributed to a larger and more diverse set
of people in our schools? If so, what are some other things we might be missing
as a result?
After
researching hundreds of articles and blog posts, the general consensus in most
places I’ve seen is that the Indian languages are the most difficult languages
to teach to English-speaking people. We have a lot of jargon and descriptions
that are unique to the culture. Our education systems also focus heavily on
learning proper grammar. It’s difficult for teachers to explain why these
languages might be important to the students.
I
find the theory that we have a more diverse and educated populace in Canada
based on the number of people who have bilingual education is both
oversimplistic and wrong. If that’s the case, our citizens shouldn’t be
struggling to learn the language.
Education
Should Be About Freedom, Not Equality:
I
don’t think education is about equality. Education should be about encouraging
you to be able to write well, to learn something and to follow directions that
might be strange or sometimes difficult.
More
than anything I think education should be about helping students develop the
skills necessary to write their way out of poverty and be able to live a good
life.
And
if people have to learn the language of a wealthy culture in order to do that,
I don’t think education is worth it.
After
reading all the arguments for education as an opportunity for learning and a
chance to better oneself, is the argument about equality really the best we can
do?
Equality
Doesn’t Always Mean Learning Other Languages:
In
a certain sense, there’s not much difference between being educated in English
or in Hindi. Of course people should learn both, but there’s nothing wrong with
having a bilingual education in English in a world where education can be
scarce.
For
people who have jobs and are living comfortably in English-speaking areas,
there’s not much to be gained from learning another language. For people who
need education in an economy that doesn’t have the kind of education they need,
it might be a good idea to learn a foreign language, but not necessarily an
obligation.
Indo-Canadian
Education:
It’s
not true to say that those who have bilingual education are better educated.
This is a generalization that leads people to believe that education is a key
to happiness. But, education is more about living a better life than reaching a
certain level of education.
There’s
an individual in the west who has an education that’s less than most people on
the east coast. At the same time, this individual has learned the language of
that country very well. This individual has a job in a foreign country, does not
have to deal with the complicated regulations of that country and is living a
happy life.
At
the same time there’s another individual in the west who has graduated from
university but was struggling to find a job. They may have struggled with
schooling in the beginning, but that was a struggle based on economics. With a
job, they’ve reached a certain level of education. At the same time, their job
situation has improved. This same individual is living a happier life because
of their language ability.
If
the focus of education is on living a better life rather than learning a
language, then bilingual education should be seen as a chance to reach your
potential.
