As someone who went to school for 12 years and a current student in University, I’ve often observed from fellow students and from broader society that education and academic pursuits are not objects of enjoyment or enthusiasm.

This is a puzzling thing. For many centuries education was a highly restricted privilege, and the modern world offers this cumulative knowledge of thousands of years to everyone. So why is it such a chore? Perhaps homework, exams and other study requirements make it stressful and repetitive. This may be true, and it is a regrettable symptom of the education systems in today’s world.

However, I believe every effort should be made by educators to make learning as enjoyable as possible. This can be done simply by revealing the great and noble pursuit that is education to students, thereby opening their wonder, curiosity and enthusiasm about learning as much as possible.

Here at First Education, one often observes students enjoying their time with tutors and looking forward to upcoming sessions. This is because the tutors try and make the task of education a desirable and enjoyable one as its function, incorporating an ethos of comprehensive education to create well-rounded students that love learning.
