Human beings today need to have a specific set of skills to survive in this competitive world as well as to progress. This set of skills can be referred to as education. Education is important for a country to grow either economically or socially. Education plays a vital role in the growth of these two important factors. It is a form of learning in which knowledge, skills, and habits are transferred from one generation to the next generation. The education of a person gets starts when he/she is born. In the early state, the foremost vital teacher of a toddler is his/her folks and especially his/her mother because a mother can teach his/her child in the best possible way. As there are three levels of education primary, secondary and tertiary. One always quickly considers that for the development, the role of education in a country, especially the tertiary level is important, but I think that for a better future the base is important and the start of a child's education is within his/her mother’s hands. So the nations are built by mother.

Single mothers who aren’t educated cannot get a decent job and can’t support their children, which is a necessity in their situations. Being educated can help a single mother to find jobs and help them in the better upbringing of their children, thus helping them to become responsible citizens of the country. Education also shows the importance of voting. Education helps to decide whom to vote in order to make a difference in the economy of a country positively. Being educated helps in deciding why to vote for a particular party over the other. Uneducated people are unaware of the importance of choosing the right people to vote for. Education helps in getting jobs because it goes without saying that unless a person is educated, he or she cannot get a worthwhile job. Unemployment is a serious obstacle in the development and progress in a country’s economic status, thus posing a hindrance to the growth of the nation. The economic status of so many countries in the world is pathetic, due to the lack of education people who do not possess adequate skills and thus are unemployed.

A country with a strong education system can definitely develop in the future. In developing countries, improving citizen's learning is very important because their attitude towards a question can influence the development of the country. It is necessary to invest in education because children will be a laborer in the future.
