An educated person is independent as he/she can earn for their living  and maintains a good standard of living. That’s why in todays scenario, there is a special need for literacy.

 “ The main hope of nation lies in the proper education of youth”.

 

It has been said correct that the hope of a nations prosperity lies always in how you educate the youth. The children of today will become the youth of the country in future. Hence educating them today will do great wonders for both them and the country. In a country like India, where the majority of population is youth, there is a need to encourage education from the very basic years of a child’s life. Also, early education can prove to be very beneficial to the children.

 

Early education not only provides a child a chance to learn but also builds a strong foundation for the child’s future. It prepares them for higher education. It also helps the child in getting to know themselves and builds them both socially and emotionally. In short, early education helps a child in learning the basic knowledge which he/she can then use to make decisions about their life in future.
