Others believe it is to prepare them to achieve there ambitions. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. Here is my essay: People have different views about the aim of education. While some people argue that the main purpose of education is to help students be valuable to society, I believe that education aims to not only develop useful individuals to countries but also make students be close to their achievements. On the one hand, training knowledgeable people working for society is the basic purpose of schools and universities. To some extent, development of economy and countries relies on education systems, especially the higher education, such as engineering and science. Without their supports, there will be more obstacle in the way of social progress. In terms of subjects, major part of colleges consider the effects of policies and markets when setting majors, which makes it more possible to get higher financial supports from governments and companies. For example, in developed countries, majors related to business and management are highlighted, while in developing nations, technical and practical subjects seem to be more popular. On the other hand, it is the education that makes individuals get ready for their ambitions. Firstly, people get knowledge and skills that are vital for their further development from schools and universities, broadening their horizons and planning their goals. Apart from that, modern education provides free environment where everyone can foster innovations based on interests. As a result, people have active mind and motivated ideas after graduating. In conclusion, it is true that education aims to provide more skillful people for society, but in my opinion helping students make dreams come true is another main purpose of education.
