8 Benefits Showing Why Education Is Important to Our Society

Habitat for Humanity of Broward

Do you think attending school and doing projects for your college is a waste of time? If you do, you might want to reconsider that claim as education is a key part of a society’s growth and progress. When people are educated, they can significantly contribute to their families and society in various aspects and fields, thus creating a stable and stimulating community. Why is education important to society? Let’s take into account some reasons. 

1. Creating More Employment Opportunities

Finding a job is not easy, especially in times of economic turmoil. You often need to compete with hundreds of other candidates for a vacant position. In addition, the lower the education level, the greater the number of people applying for the same low-paying entry-level post. However, with the right qualifications and educational background, you will increase your chances of landing a fulfilling job. Would you like to find a way to stand out from a pool of applicants? Learn, educate yourself, graduate and get as many qualifications, skills, knowledge, and experience as possible. 

2. Securing a Higher Income

People with higher education and varied experience are more likely to get high-paying, expert jobs. Study hard, dedicate your time and effort to acquire knowledge and reach a high level of competence if you would like to lead a comfortable lifestyle. Your credentials are what will motivate a potential employer to choose you instead of another candidate. Studying hard throughout your school and studies shows you are not afraid of hard work and are able to fulfill your goals. Employers see this as a huge advantage as they all prefer a responsible and knowledgeable workforce. Once you graduate, you can start searching for jobs that will give you the opportunity to practice what you have learned and, at the same time, secure sufficient pay for your needs. 

3. Developing Problem-solving Skills 

One of the benefits of education is that the educational system teaches us how to obtain and develop critical and logical thinking and make independent decisions. When children become adults, they are faced with a lot of challenging issues – pay off your student loans, get a job, buy a car and a house, provide for your family, etc. However, if one has spent years educating themselves, they should be able to make sound decisions on these various quandaries. Not only are people able to form their own opinions, but they are also good at finding solid and reliable arguments and evidence to back up and confirm their decisions. 

4. Improving the Economy

People with good academic and educational backgrounds tend to get well-paid jobs. The higher their education and accomplishments, the better employment options they get. People who grew up poor but educated themselves have high chances to transform their lives, thus contributing to a decrease in society’s poverty rates. Education helps countries grow economically since it is about getting knowledge and being able to apply it wisely to our lives and, at the same time, improving other people’s lives. 

5. Providing a Prosperous and Happy Life

Education has always secured respect from society. In order to ensure a comfortable lifestyle, people should educate themselves and obtain a well-paid job to be successful and satisfied. It helps gain a better reputation and increases the chances of climbing the career ladder more easily and faster. In turn, it provides financial resources for stable lives – people can afford to buy their own house or apartment and thus secure their children’s happiness and success. Furthermore, being able to own your own home provides stability and increases self-confidence. It leads to creating a positive environment for families and communities. “Children of homeowners are 116% more likely to graduate from college than children of renters of the same age, race, and income. They are also 25% more likely to graduate from high school and have higher math and reading scores, with fewer behavioral problems,” according to research at the University of Tennessee.

6. Giving Back to the Community

How does education benefit society? Educated people understand how valuable it is to live in a stable and secure community. They are more prone to taking part in projects that help improve not only their neighborhood but society, as well. In addition, when people are able to afford their own home, they are more likely to take part not only in improving their homes but in solving local problems, as well. After all, it is quite important to get involved and give a hand to the less fortunate ones in order to build a better place for all of us to live in.

7. Creating Modern Society

Education is of key essence for modern society. One needs to learn about culture, history and other important aspects so that they would be able to contribute to modern society. Education molds people into leaders not only with knowledge about (college) subjects, but it also shows them how to lead with emotions and true values. Educated people can easily differentiate between right and wrong, thus education helps reduce the crime rate. Bad events are happening around the world – only competent leaders can help guide us down a good and right path. 

8. Bridging the Borders

Digital education helps connect with people and organizations around the world. Borders are no longer there. Being able to communicate and share opinions with people from other countries and cultures, widens horizons and helps us understand and appreciate each other.

8 Benefits Showing Why Education Is Important to Our Society

Habitat for Humanity of Broward

Do you think attending school and doing projects for your college is a waste of time? If you do, you might want to reconsider that claim as education is a key part of a society's growth and progress. When people are educated, they can significantly contribute to their families and society in various aspects and fields, thus creating a stable and stimulating community. Why is education important to society? Let's take into account some reasons.

你认为上学和做大学的项目是在浪费时间吗？如果你这样认为，你可能要重新考虑这个说法，因为教育是一个社会成长和进步的关键部分。当人们接受了教育，就能在各方面、各领域为家庭和社会做出重大贡献，从而创造一个稳定的、激励人心的社会。为什么教育对社会很重要？让我们来考虑这些原因。

1）表示“趣味盎然的；激励人的；振奋人心的”，英文解释为“full of interesting or exciting ideas; making people feel enthusiastic”如：a stimulating discussion 饶有趣味的讨论。

2）表示“增加活力的；增进健康的”，英文解释为“making you feel more active and healthy”如：shower gel containing plant extracts that have a stimulating effect on the skin 含有对皮肤有益的植物精华的沐浴凝胶。

1. Creating More Employment Opportunities 创造更多就业机会

Finding a job is not easy, especially in times of economic turmoil. You often need to compete with hundreds of other candidates for a vacant position. In addition, the lower the education level, the greater the number of people applying for the same low-paying entry-level post. However, with the right qualifications and educational background, you will increase your chances of landing a fulfilling job. Would you like to find a way to stand out from a pool of applicants? Learn, educate yourself, graduate and get as many qualifications, skills, knowledge, and experience as possible.

找到一份工作并不容易，尤其是在经济动荡时期。你往往需要与数百名其他候选人竞争一个空缺职位。此外，教育水平越低，申请同一低薪入门级职位的人数越多。然而，如果有合适的资格和教育背景，你将增加找到一份满意工作的机会。你想找到一种从众多应聘者中脱颖而出的方法吗？学习，受教育，毕业，尽可能多地获得资格证书，技能，知识和经验。

turmoil /ˈtɜːmɔɪl/ 表示“混乱；骚乱”，英文解释为“Turmoil is a state of confusion, disorder, uncertainty, or great anxiety.”举个🌰：

She lived through the turmoil of the French Revolution.

她经历过法国大革命的混乱之后仍旧活着。

表示“空缺的”，英文解释为“If a job or position is vacant, no one is doing it or in it at present, and people can apply for it.”举个🌰：

The position of director has been vacant for some time.

主管的职位已经空缺一段时间了。

熟词僻义，作动词，表示“成功得到，赢得，捞到（尤指许多人想得到的工作）”，英文解释为“to succeed in getting a job, etc., especially one that a lot of other people want”举个🌰：

He's just landed a starring role in the next movie.

他刚得到一个机会，在下一部电影里担任主角。  

表示“出色；杰出；更为重要；突出，显眼”，英文解释为“to be much better or more important than sb/sth”举个🌰：

Four points stand out as being more important than the rest.

有四点比其余各点更为重要。

2. Securing a Higher Income 确保更高的收入

People with higher education and varied experience are more likely to get high-paying, expert jobs. Study hard, dedicate your time and effort to acquire knowledge and reach a high level of competence if you would like to lead a comfortable lifestyle. Your credentials are what will motivate a potential employer to choose you instead of another candidate. Studying hard throughout your school and studies shows you are not afraid of hard work and are able to fulfill your goals. Employers see this as a huge advantage as they all prefer a responsible and knowledgeable workforce. Once you graduate, you can start searching for jobs that will give you the opportunity to practice what you have learned and, at the same time, secure sufficient pay for your needs.

拥有较高学历和各种经验的人，更容易获得高薪、专家级的工作。如果你想过上舒适的生活，就要努力学习，投入时间和精力去获取知识，并达到高水平的能力。你的资历是促使潜在雇主选择你而不是其他候选人的原因。在校学习期间努力学习，说明你不怕辛苦，能够实现自己的目标。雇主认为这是一个巨大的优势，因为他们都喜欢有责任心和知识渊博的劳动力。一旦你毕业，你就可以开始寻找工作，这将使你有机会实践你所学的知识，同时，确保足够的薪酬满足你的需求。

一般用复数，表示“（表明某人有资格做某事的）资历；（身份或资格的）证明文件；资格证书；证明书；证件”，英文解释为“Someone's credentials are their previous achievements, training, and general background, which indicate that they are qualified to do something. Someone's credentials are a letter or certificate that proves their identity or qualifications.”如：her credentials as a specialist 她作为一名研究专家的资历。举个🌰：

All the candidates had excellent academic credentials.

所有候选人都具有优秀的学历。

熟词僻义，作动词，表示“获得；设法得到；争取到”，英文解释为“to get something, sometimes with difficulty”举个🌰：

He was disappointed by his failure to secure the top job with the bank.

他因没能得到银行的高层工作而失望。

3. Developing Problem-solving Skills 培养解决问题的能力

One of the benefits of education is that the educational system teaches us how to obtain and develop critical and logical thinking and make independent decisions. When children become adults, they are faced with a lot of challenging issues – pay off your student loans, get a job, buy a car and a house, provide for your family, etc. However, if one has spent years educating themselves, they should be able to make sound decisions on these various quandaries. Not only are people able to form their own opinions, but they are also good at finding solid and reliable arguments and evidence to back up and confirm their decisions.

教育的好处之一是，教育制度教会我们如何获得和发展批判性和逻辑性思维，并做出独立的决定。当孩子成年后，他们会面临很多具有挑战性的问题--还清学生贷款、找工作、买车买房、养家糊口等等。然而，如果一个人花了多年时间受教育，应该能够对这些各种疑难问题做出正确的决定。人们不仅能够形成自己的观点，而且善于找到坚实可靠的论据和证据来支持和证实自己的决定。

表示“明智的；合理的；正确的；可靠的”，英文解释为“If you describe someone's ideas as sound, you mean that you approve of them and think they are correct.”举个🌰：

I am not sure that this is sound practice.

我不能肯定这就是正确的做法。

quandary /ˈkwɒndrɪ, -dərɪ/ 表示"不知所措；困惑；进退两难；困窘”，英文解释为“If you are in a quandary, you have to make a decision but cannot decide what to do.”举个🌰：

The company appears to be in a quandary about what to do with so many people.

该公司对如何安置这么多人显得不知所措。

1）表示“（以行动）支持”，英文解释为“If an idea or intention is backed up by action, action is taken to support or confirm it.”举个🌰：

He says the declaration must now be backed up by concrete and effective actions.

他说现在必须以具体有效的行动来支持这个宣言。

2）表示“证实…的话”，英文解释为“If you back someone up, you help them by confirming that what they are saying is true.”举个🌰：

The girl denied being there, and the man backed her up.

这女孩否认去过那儿，并且这位男子证实了她的话。

1）表示“（尤指提供证据来）证实，证明，确认”，英文解释为“to state or show that sth is definitely true or correct, especially by providing evidence”举个🌰：

Rumours of job losses were later confirmed.

裁员的传言后来得到了证实。

4. Improving the Economy 改善经济

People with good academic and educational backgrounds tend to get well-paid jobs. The higher their education and accomplishments, the better employment options they get. People who grew up poor but educated themselves have high chances to transform their lives, thus contributing to a decrease in society's poverty rates. Education helps countries grow economically since it is about getting knowledge and being able to apply it wisely to our lives and, at the same time, improving other people's lives.

学历和教育背景好的人，往往能找到高薪的工作。他们的学历和成就越高，得到的就业选择就越多。从小贫穷但受过教育的人，有很大机会改变自己的生活，从而有助于降低社会的贫困率。教育有助于国家经济的发展，因为教育是为了获得知识，并能将知识合理地运用到我们的生活中，同时，也能改善他人的生活。

5. Providing a Prosperous and Happy Life 提供繁荣幸福的生活

Education has always secured respect from society. In order to ensure a comfortable lifestyle, people should educate themselves and obtain a well-paid job to be successful and satisfied. It helps gain a better reputation and increases the chances of climbing the career ladder more easily and faster. In turn, it provides financial resources for stable lives – people can afford to buy their own house or apartment and thus secure their children's happiness and success.

教育一直以来都能得到社会的尊重。为了获得舒适的生活方式，人们应该接受教育，获得一份高薪工作，以获得成功和满足。它有助于获得更好的声誉，增加更容易和更快地攀登职业阶梯的机会。反过来，它也为稳定的生活提供了经济来源--人们有能力购买自己的房子或公寓，从而保障子女的幸福和成功。

表示“职业阶梯”，英文解释为“a series of jobs from the lower paid with less responsibility to the highest paid with the most responsibility within a company or particular profession”。

Furthermore, being able to own your own home provides stability and increases self-confidence. It leads to creating a positive environment for families and communities. “Children of homeowners are 116% more likely to graduate from college than children of renters of the same age, race, and income. They are also 25% more likely to graduate from high school and have higher math and reading scores, with fewer behavioral problems,” according to research at the University of Tennessee.

此外，能够拥有自己的房子，可以提供稳定的生活，增强自信心，从而为家庭和社区创造一个积极的环境。根据田纳西大学（the University of Tennessee）的研究，“与同年龄、种族和收入的租房者的子女相比，自己拥有住房者的子女从大学毕业的可能性高出116%。他们从高中毕业的可能性也高出25%，而且数学和阅读成绩更高，行为问题更少。”

表示“承租人；租用人；租户”，英文解释为“a person who rents sth”如：house buyers and renters 房屋的买主和租户。

6. Giving Back to the Community 回馈社会

How does education benefit society? Educated people understand how valuable it is to live in a stable and secure community. They are more prone to taking part in projects that help improve not only their neighborhood but society, as well. In addition, when people are able to afford their own home, they are more likely to take part not only in improving their homes but in solving local problems, as well. After all, it is quite important to get involved and give a hand to the less fortunate ones in order to build a better place for all of us to live in.

教育如何造福社会？受过教育的人明白生活在一个稳定和安全的社区是多么宝贵。他们更倾向于参与不仅有助于改善他们的社区，而且有助于改善社会的项目。此外，当人们能够负担得起自己的住房时，他们更有可能不仅参与改善自己的家园，而且还参与解决当地的问题。毕竟，为了给我们大家建设一个更好的生活环境，参与进来，给那些不幸的人施以援手是相当重要的。

表示“易于（受某事物影响或做某事）的”，英文解释为“To be prone to something, usually something bad, means to have a tendency to be affected by it or to do it.”举个🌰：

For all her experience as a television reporter, she was still prone to camera nerves.

尽管有丰富的做电视记者的经验，她仍然倾向于在镜头前紧张。

7. Creating Modern Society 创建现代社会

Education is of key essence for modern society. One needs to learn about culture, history and other important aspects so that they would be able to contribute to modern society. Education molds people into leaders not only with knowledge about (college) subjects, but it also shows them how to lead with emotions and true values. Educated people can easily differentiate between right and wrong, thus education helps reduce the crime rate. Bad events are happening around the world – only competent leaders can help guide us down a good and right path.

教育是现代社会的关键要素。人们需要学习文化、历史和其他重要知识，以便能够为现代社会做出贡献。教育不仅使人们成为具有（大学）学科知识的领导者，而且还向人们展示了如何用情感和真实价值观来领导。受过教育的人很容易区分是非，因此教育有助于降低犯罪率。世界各地都在发生不好的事件--只有称职的领导者才能帮助引导我们走上一条好的、正确的道路。

表示“本质；实质；精髓”，英文解释为“the most important quality or feature of sth, that makes it what it is”举个🌰：

The essence of consultation is to listen to, and take account of, the views of those consulted.

咨询的本质是倾听并把那些被咨询者的观点考虑进来。

表示“塑造”，英文解释为“If you mould a soft substance such as plastic or clay, you make it into a particular shape or into an object.”举个🌰：

He would dampen the clay and begin to mould it into an entirely different shape.

他把黏土弄湿，然后着手把它塑造成一个完全不同的形状。

8. Bridging the Borders 弥合边界

Digital education helps connect with people and organizations around the world. Borders are no longer there. Being able to communicate and share opinions with people from other countries and cultures, widens horizons and helps us understand and appreciate each other.

数字教育有助于与世界各地的人们和组织建立联系。边界已不复存在。能够与来自其他国家和文化的人们交流并分享意见，开阔眼界，并帮助我们彼此了解和欣赏。

作名词，表示“桥”，作动词，可以理解为“在…上架桥”，引申表示“结合（极为不同的两者）；克服（障碍）”，英文解释为“Something that bridges the gap between two very different things has some of the qualities of each of these things.”如：bridge the gap/gulf/divide (between A and B) 消除（A和B之间的）隔阂/鸿沟/分歧，the singer who bridged the gap between pop music and opera 结合了流行音乐和歌剧的歌手。
