Education or Health?

Education of Health; Which one is more important

Education and health both are fundamental needs of a human being. Education shapes a person to be gentle and smart. On the hand, health is the most important part of life. A healthy person is happiest always. If I had it my way, I would like to say that education is more important than health.  The reasons behind my justification are discussed below.

• Although we know that health is wealth, education is the thing that can change the outlook of a person. In order to be perfect human being we need to know some basic morality or something relating to that which can be gained from education. Besides, education is the only thing which is most important in life because it takes us to light from darkness.

• It is true when someone is ill, he or she cannot do anything properly. In contrast, education helps to lead our life in a civilized way. We know there are thousands of people in the rural area who are not educated, believe in scarcities and other baseless activities which are dangerous to health. As a result, when they are sick, they rush to different rural physicians or ‘kobiraj’ for treatment which lead them to worse situation in most cases. But an educated person does not do that. So, we see that education is protecting our lives too.

• From the years, it is said that education is the backbone of the nation and no nation can prosper in life without education. Why people say this? Certainly education has significant contributions in our lives and society that are positive for all.

• Now if we think in a different way which is about how to know to protect our health fit and active. We must need education to know this. Without education we cannot able to know the terms that we need to maintain for a perfect health.

• Education helps to reduce crimes in the nation. Hundred years ago it was proven that in educated nation crimes are occurred in a less amount than uneducated nations which is one of proven benefit for us. So, education is not only the wealth but also a path to live peacefully in the society.( an image is attached below to show the statistics).

• Most important part is, we cannot neglect that health is an important part of our body. We cannot live a single day if our health system does not work. But, when we go out of the home we cannot only move with our physical body. In contrast, to live in a civilized society we are to maintain some rules so that the environment remains suitable for living. As a result directly/indirectly education is needed to keep balance the surroundings because education is the only thing that can change our motivation or it teaches us to difference between right or wrong. Thus, education is the most important part of our daily life.

• Another thing is, if we make a survey on the total population of the world, we would see that most of the people who have the ability to bear the educational expenses, go to schools for learning. Education is the only thing that gets this much priority to people. So, we get a clear view that how important the education is! We can take a look form the diagram. (statistic is shown on next page)

However, education and health both the two terms are directly embedded to our life. Though we cannot exist in this world without health but education, we also cannot live in the society without the knowledge. And education is the store house of knowledge. There is distinct difference between education and health which is health is naturally gained while education is to be achieved. Moreover, we do not die if we do not have a sound health but in many stages of life we cannot move a single step without the light of education. So, I think education is more important over health.
