Real Education Begins With Self-education

Many people hold the stance that real education begins with self-education and I believe that this assertion is fundamentally correct.

The key issue regarding the claim in question involves the definition of self-education. In the traditional type of education, teachers play a major role and subjects chosen by educators or the government are being taught regardless of each student's intrinsic interest. Admittedly, education at school carries various virtues and serves to instill knowledge as well as moral principles in pupils. Nonetheless, it inevitably neglects individual needs to some extent. It would be unrealistic to devise a customised educations which caters to each pupil according to his aptitudes. In contrast, self-education holds the key to creating an education tailored to each individual and therefore serves to optimise the result . Furthermore, since self-education by nature is initiated by the student himself, it is very likely that the student will be more motivated and assiduous. Also, it is undeniable that education begins when students start absorbing rather than mechanically memorising what they are being taught. One can sit in a classroom without paying any attention to the teacher as is often the case in traditional education. Yet, self-education requires students to willingly comprehend and apply whatever principles they are learning.

In the final analysis, I strongly agree with the notion that real education begins with self-education.
