1. An essential human virtue

Education is an essential human virtue. Man becomes 'man' through education. He is what education makes him. It has been rightly said that without education, man is a splendid slave, reasoning savage.

2. A necessity for society

Education is necessary for society. Education fashions and models man for society. Man cannot be conceived merely in terms of his biological existence. Education brings into focus the social aspect of man. Education signifies man's supreme position in society.

3. IMPORTANT FOR THE INTEGRATION OF SEPARATE ENTITIES

An individual is made up of different entities. Education brings about the integration of these separate entities.

4. GIVES SIGNIFICANCE OF LIFE

Education teaches what man lives and struggles for. It cultivates an integrated life. By so doing, it gives significance of life.

5. EDUCATED MEN ARE SUPERIOR

Education is a sign of superiority. Aristotle wrote, "Educated men are as much superior to uneducated as the living are to the dead."

6. SIGN OF FREEDOMEducation is a sign of freedom. Epictetus had declared, "Only the educated are free."7. A controlling grace

Diogenes felt that "Education is a controlling grace to the young, consolation to the old wealth to the poor and ornament to the rich."

8. BASIS OF GOOD LIFE

Education is an essential basis of good life. A man becomes a human being in the real sense when he is transformed from primarily an animal being into a human being.In short, education is an essential concomitant of all human societies. "What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the soul", says Addison.

INCLUSIVE EDUCATIONInclusion in education is an approach to educating students with special educational needs. Under the inclusion model, students with special needs spend most or all of their time with non-disabled students. Implementation of these practices varies.Schools most frequently use them for selected students with mild to severe special needs.Inclusive education differs from previously held notions of integration and mainstreaming, which tended to be concerned principally with disability and ‘special educational needs’ and implied learners changing or becoming ‘ready for’ or deserving of accommodation by the mainstream. By contrast, inclusion is about the child’s right to participate and the school’s duty to accept the child.

Inclusion rejects the use of special schools or classrooms to separate students with disabilities from students without disabilities. A premium is placed upon full participation by students with disabilities and upon respect for their social, civil, and educational rights. Inclusion gives students with disabilities skills they can use in and out of the classroom.Fully inclusive schools, which are rare, no longer distinguish between "general education" and "special education" programs; instead, the school is restructured so that all students learn together

Vocational education (education based on occupation or employment)Also known as vocational education and training or VETis education that prepares people for specific trades, crafts and careers at various levels from a trade, a craft, technician, or a professional positionIn engineering,accountancy, nursing, medicine, architecture,  pharmacy, law etcCraft vocations are usually based on manual or practical activities, traditionally non-academic, related to a specific trade, occupation, or vocation.

Vocational education may be classified as teaching procedural knowledge. This can be contrasted with declarative knowledge, as used in education in a usually broader scientific field, which might concentrate on theory and abstract conceptual knowledge, characteristic of tertiary education.It is sometimes referred to

as technical education as the trainee directly develops expertise in a particular group of techniques.

Vocational education can be at the secondary, post-secondary level, further education level and can interact with the apprenticeship system. Increasingly, vocational education can be recognized in terms of recognition of prior learning and partial academic credit towards tertiary education (e.g., at a university) as credit; however, it is rarely considered in its own form to fall under the traditional definition of higher education
