It includes two aspects: From a personal standpoint, education is for the improvement of people's ability, wisdom and emotion which can help them know themselves clearly and choose the suitable path in life. From the angle of the development of human society, education is for the transmission of culture and experience which can let people get along well with others and the world.

One competing aim of education might be the balance between that learners look back their values of understanding the past culture, behavior, and language tradition and that learners equip themselves with the prospective value for a better world they will go through with the help of educating influence. https://padlet.com/nasusnworb/d76l9c28ffxz/wish/151615300 DAN WANG]]> 2017-02-04 17:07:55 UTC https://padlet.com/nasusnworb/d76l9c28ffxz/wish/151615300 Alice Lambert https://padlet.com/nasusnworb/d76l9c28ffxz/wish/151631297 I believe that the purposes of education should be; to build knowledge/academic ability in different areas, to realise ones own style of learning, to develop the self and ones identity (including social skills and learning about mental health), to gain an understanding of various cultures, religions and societies, to take an interest in aspects of citizenship (laws, British values, financial sustainability etc),  to develop other 'life skills' to prepare for further/higher education, employability and independent living, and to understand 'how the world works' in terms of environmental issues and sustainability. This being said, I do realise that all of the above may not be incorporated substantially into the current frameworks/curriculum of learning. ]]> 2017-02-04 23:40:56 UTC https://padlet.com/nasusnworb/d76l9c28ffxz/wish/151631297 Education is intended for transferring knowledge and skills, teaching creative and analytical thinking, preparing students to face challenges in life, and developing their desire to think about the world and make it a better place to live in https://padlet.com/nasusnworb/d76l9c28ffxz/wish/151664463

Education is the base for an ethical, independent, productive and committed individuals. We surely need to rise ethics within people in order to guarantee a society where everybody feels respected and safe. Also, we need to develop independence within people through education, and independence include taking responsibility for one's own development, learning and well-being. Finally, education should be aimed at improving people's productivity and commitment in their society. This is not only seen in the workplace, but in all kinds of interactions and responsibilities the individuals undertake. ]]> 2017-02-05 21:35:28 UTC https://padlet.com/nasusnworb/d76l9c28ffxz/wish/151690478 In my opinion, the aims of education are personal development and social development. On the one hand, people require knowledge and information through the process of education. During this process, they shape their minds, develop new ways of thinking and doing. They could achieve personal development. On the other hand, education might contribute to the social development. People live in society, if they make progress through education, the society will also be better.

For the society, education may function as fostering energy to strengthen the different departments of a country; or to continue and develop the human being as one of species.
