Education is the process of acquiring knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits through various means, including teaching, training, research, and direct experience. It is a lifelong journey that helps individuals develop intellectually, emotionally, socially, and morally.
It builds intellectual and personal growth, allowing individuals to acquire knowledge, skills, and critical thinking abilities that enable them to make informed decisions and lead fulfilling lives.
Education increases employment and opens doors to better career prospects and higher earning potential, contributing to financial stability and improved living standards. It equips individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to contribute to the well-being of society.
Access to quality education can help break cycles of poverty and provide opportunities for upward social mobility, enabling individuals to transcend their socioeconomic backgrounds.
Recently, an elderly woman identified as Leonila Capule has proven that age is just a number when it comes to education. She graduated from the Department of Education’s Alternative Learning System (ALS) program, earning her elementary school diploma.
Capule dedicated her hard-earned diploma to her late child, who should have been by her side during the graduation ceremony but had unfortunately passed away.
Her children and grandchildren’s support fueled her determination and perseverance to complete her elementary level.
Lola Leonila’s accomplishment serves as a reminder that life is not a race but a journey of continuous learning and growth. Her story has inspired many, showing that it is never too late to pursue education and personal growth.
The Alternative Learning System (ALS) program provided Lola Leonila with the opportunity to fulfill her educational dreams, proving that education should be accessible to all, regardless of age or circumstances.
