There is a difference between being informed and being educated. The information you gain and can apply to solve problems around you, bring solutions, and improve your community is called education. Anything else you learn that you cannot apply to solve a problem is merely information, not education and it is not necessary, because we are here to solve problems, not to show off how much we know.
It is sad that many people go to schools and universities only to be informed, unfortunately, they think they are educated. They do not realize that their so-called education does not help them solve real issues it only gives them something to brag about. Educated people do not try to prove that they are educated, the solutions their education produces speak for them.
However, many informed people claim to be educated and talk a lot, laughing at others without realizing that these are habits and signs of being uneducated. Do not forget: education is for solving problems and creating solutions. If it does not solve problems, then it is not education at all.
The problems in your country are not the same as the problems in another country. Each country must learn how to solve its own problems. This means a country’s education system must be centered on helping learners focus on creating solutions, addressing complex issues, and developing their nation not simply being informed about the whole world while being unable to solve even a simple family problem, yet still claiming to be educated.
Developed countries do not focus on learning everything about the whole world, they focus on what matters to them. Russian children would not be assembling machines or developing technical skills if they spent all their time studying maps and memorizing countries. China produces some of the best students in productive fields because their system emphasizes practical knowledge and skills.
