Many people view education as simply going to school and attending university courses or a good preparation for finding a job in the future, thus, consider education as only a part of their lives. However, in my opinion, education serving not just practical use as a part in one's life, plays an important role in people's life as lifelong process.
The world changes very quickly. It's true that people have to keep learning all kinds of skills on their working field. However, people should also keep learning outside their working place so that they can catch up with the changing world. For example, when a couple have bought a new house and want to have it beautifully decorated, though asking a certain kind companies concerning house decoration is possible, they prefer choosing floor patterns, furniture, the colours of paint by themselves. At this time, they have to learn something about art, designs, etc. Here, education, instead of acting as a outer force, becomes the couple's inner need and plays a very important role in their life.
Family is important to everyone and is not stable these days. In my opinions, many coutradictions between couples root from the plain life they lead and the lack of hope. Why? Because they cease learning, lose the interest in the new things and thus have no hope for the future life. This way, they lose interest in their husbands or wives. So every adult, even after they have married, must keep learning, find new aspirations in life. For example, when my mother retired last year and began to learn stocks, my father appreciated her more than ever.
So, education for the adults means not only improving working skills but also leading a colourful and comfortable life.
