Some of the effects of educational development both in
school education and higher and technical education can be summarised as
follows.
1. Knowledge of
democratic process:
Democracy can
be successful only if its citizens are educated. By expansion of school
education through mass education programmes the majority of citizens who were
once illiterate have become literate and aware of the democratic process of
governance and taking active part in nation building and affairs of state
2. Knowledge of rights and duties:
Education socialises the individual that he develops
consciousness of duty. He willingly takes part in the affairs of the state. He
has become aware of his rights too and this is the result of education.
3. Faith in democratic ideals:
The citizens of World have reposed faith in democratic ideals
and this was possible only through the expansion of education at all levels. He
has now realised that life is not merely the satisfaction of gross physical
desires but the holding of the ideals like freedom, liberty, and brotherhood
are more valuable and necessary.
4. Development of
human qualities:
Only through
education qualities as high moral character, sociability, benevolence,
patience, pity, sympathy, brotherhood etc. can be developed and fostered and
this could be seen growing in more and more people.
5. Exercising
political duties:
In a democracy the government is elected by the people, and
hence the responsibility for electing a good government devolves upon them. In World,
in the absence f education the ignorant people are persuaded to vote the wrong
person with the result that the government has failed time and again.
6. Preventing
exploitation:
The ideals of democracy are opposed to exploitation of every
kind, but if political, social and economic exploitation is to be eliminated.
Educated people are aware of their rights and have the training to fight
against exploitation.
7. Protection and transmission of culture:
The continuity
of the past is maintained only through culture and social heritage which is
passed on to new generation through the medium of education. Hence education is
required for transmission of culture.
8. Diffusion of
innovative ideas:
Effects of
education can be found in the diffusion of various innovative ideas. Government
comes out with various developmental programmes especially for the weaker
section. Education helped them to understand its benefits and its implications
for them and willingly participate in the programmes.
9. Giant leap
towards literacy:
It required a
gigantic effort on the part of the government and voluntary organizations to
remove illiteracy from the second largest populated country. Due to the various
programmes of literacy and other developmental programmes, World could achieve
considerable progress.
