The Importance Of Education

THE IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION

Today Spanish education is divided into different stages: Early Childhood Education, from 3 to 5 years, Primary Education, from 6 to 12 years and Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO) from 12 to 16 years;So far it is mandatory and then there is the baccalaureate that goes from 16 to 18, this stage is optional, and there are different branches: Humanities Bachelor, Bachelor of Sciences, Bachelor of Social and Bachelor of Arts. 

In each of the branches different subjects oriented to different careers are given, because the teaching in Bachelor is oriented to the university. In my opinion, the current education system is poorly raised, because students are not taught to think if the only thing that is scored is the individual’s memoristic capacity, that is, learn the subjects as a parrot and then vomitAll information on the exam. 

I also think that 6 hours in a row are too many to be sitting in a chair practically without allowing students to get up from their seats, at an ages at which hormones are very altered and you cannot pretend that the boys are sitting, silentand attending for so long. Therefore, I would change the traditional teaching methods for some more modern ones in which various research activities and work are done so that young people are interested in the subject they have to study. However, the systems that are being implemented lately in some schools (especially private and concerted) with the use of computers and tablets do not seem completely correct to me.

On the one hand yes, since in this way they feel comfortable by having grown up with new technologies, but at the same time it does not seem like a good idea, since you do not know if in the end the students are doing class tasks or if they areplaying games or doing things that should not. From my point of view, I agree with the experts in which Finland has the best educational system in the world. There the government invests a lot of money in education, since for them it is something of utmost importance and they give it the highest priority. 

Unlike Spain, in Finland they send very little task to do at home that seems great since I think they exceed too much in that, and it is also also a task for parents since they have to help their children, althoughMost work and are very tired and when they get home, what you want is to spend a family time and not with discussions for class tasks. I have seen a documentary in which the Finnish education system is explained a little better, I was very surprised that if you want to be a teacher in Finland you must have taken one of the best grades in the country. Even so, only 10% manage to get a place and the best of that 10% are those responsible for teaching in primary school. 

This seems fantastic, since teachers have great importance in society and a great responsibility because they are the ones who must train people, so they must be very professional so that in the future society has good values and aquality education. In addition to this, in Finland there are no private schools, there we must not spend the huge amounts of money that are spent in Spain families in school material, uniforms or books since there is totally free, unlessYou spoil or lose the material, in which case you must pay it. 

Also, schools are very well equipped with everything you need to offer better learning. I have also read that 15 out of 45 minutes should be used by playing, they do not punish children if they do something wrong, they also pay the transport of children living more than 5 km away, classes always have a maximum of 20Students (in Spain there are classes in an institute with 40 students), so the attention to the student is closer and more personalized. 

Finally, it seems to me that there is still much to do and many things to change, mainly in the politics and in the vision that society has towards teaching and towards the teachers. We must take note of countries as Finland in which they have that wonderful education system, and gradually incorporating it into our country.
