Why is education so important? Nelson Mandela famously said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” An educated society is better equipped to tackle the challenges that face modern America, including:
Climate change
Social justice
Economic inequality
Education is not just about learning to read and do math operations. Of course, gaining knowledge and practical skills is part of it, but education is also about values and critical thinking. It’s about finding our place in society in a meaningful way.

Higher education can lead to better job opportunities and higher income. On average, a person with a bachelor’s degree will make $765,000 more in their lifetime than someone with no degree. Even with the rising costs of tuition, investment in higher education pays off in the long run. In 2020, the return on investment (ROI) for a college degree was estimated to be 13.5% to 35.9%.
Green jobs like environmental science technicians and solar panel installers have high demand projections for the next decade. Therefore, degrees that will prepare you for one of these careers will likely yield a high ROI. And, many of these jobs only require an associate’s degree or certificate, which means lower overall education costs.
Unity helps students maximize their ROI with real-world experience in the field as an integral part of every degree program.
Knowledge is at the heart of education. It empowers individuals to understand the world around them and make informed decisions. With knowledge, we can address complex global issues, such as climate change, poverty, and healthcare. Education provides us with the tools to develop innovative solutions and drive progress in various fields, from science and technology to the arts and humanities.
Moreover, knowledge is a potent tool for personal empowerment. It opens doors to opportunities and allows individuals to break free from the cycle of poverty and inequality. Education is the great equaliser, offering a chance for social mobility regardless of one’s background. It empowers people to pursue their dreams and aspirations, regardless of their circumstances.
Through education, individuals can explore their interests and passions, helping them to discover their strengths and weaknesses. This self-awareness is essential for making informed career and life choices.
In my opinion it will be better that a child goes for school only for 3 years than not going at all. But it will be even better if this child can go to preschool, complete the primary school, and then access to high school and/or to other higher level studies. And it will be even better if all these teachers and schools can offer to their students a quality education.
