Why to Educate?

After the seminar, we left the room thinking about all this topics. I thought that the Education was a easy topic to talk about and it was not difficult to improve it. But after I heard all this specialists talking about how hard is to improve all this education problems, I realized that is not that easy, in fact is a completely difficult topic to talk about.

During the seminar Humberto Maturana said something really important. He ask the question, Why to Educate? If we think about this question we could realize that is the beginning of this discussion. I think the education is the base for everything. We start this process when we are very little. We start lerning whith our own families. They teach us how to eat, how to behave and what to do or not to do, but the most important thing that we learn from them are our values. Then, when we know all of this, we can’t stay there waiting for something. We must continue lerning, for example we need to learn how to express with other people, how to behave with my peers and how to communicate well. This things we should learn them at school. In school is the only moment where we interact with our peers and where we learn to respect to each other and to share with others.
During this process, is very important to have your parents near. They are the adults who have to guide you at home.

One of the most important problems in Education is inequity and if we don’t do something about it we would never have the education that we want to have. The Education is the base for all of the societies and that’s why we should care about it more.
