Duolingo Daily Topic: Speaking Task (Discuss the role of education in society)

Q. Discuss the role of education in society. What do you think should be the primary focus of education systems?

Ans: Education plays an important role in our society as it serves as the foundation for both personal growth and societal development. It equips individuals with the necessary knowledge and skills, fosters critical thinking, and promotes the cultivation of social and moral values.

In my opinion, the primary focus of education should extend beyond mere academic proficiency. It should prioritize the holistic development of individuals and contribute positively to society. This entails nurturing intellectual, emotional, social, physical, artistic, creative, and spiritual potential in students.

For instance, when learning a new language, the objective shouldn’t solely revolve around memorizing vocabulary and grammar rules. Instead, emphasis should be placed on fostering effective communication skills and fostering a genuine passion for languages. Similarly, in subjects like Science and mathematics, students should be encouraged to comprehend the practical application of formulas in real-world contexts, rather than resorting to mere memorization.

In conclusion, the primary focus of education should be on the development of a love for learning, the promotion of creativity, and the preparation of students not only for careers but also for life as a whole.
