the purpose of education

　　 I am a student.I know every students need to go to school for almost 20 years,if a student go to college after high school,he or she will stay in it at least 4 years.So precious is time that we cannot offord to waste it.What's point of doing all this?
In my view,education plays an important role in people’s life.Actually,everyone has to go to school to receive education.In other words, the point that schools help students to improve ability by reciving higher education.
The purpose of education is to develope students’ minds, helping them to grow up to become good person. What students need first is how to be a person who can think independently and reasonably.Therefore, what the education should stand at is to cultivate living people who have creative minds, exploration spirits, emotional attitudes.For this reason, school should stress to develop students’ individuality and open their eyes.
The other purpose of education is to train students to be productive workers. As for me, I think that education should be equally.
