Nowadays the important aim of education has become to prepare the students for their examination, encouraging them to compete with one another to score high mark and finally to get good and lucrative jobs. But things were not like this in the past. The students had respect to their teachers in spite of the punishments they used to get from them. There was close and friendly relation between the teachers and students. In my opinion teachers should not teach the students only to make them pass the examinations. Importance should be given for the acquisition of knowledge. The education should aim at all-round development of the students. This should be the primary aim of education.
