Education a process of learning or a process of obtaining marks?

What is education? The word "education" is derived from the Latin word educatio, it means the act of bringing up. While the other definition says that education is a form of learning in which the knowledge, skills, and habits of a group of people are transferred from one generation to the next through teaching, training, or research. But while for me education is making a person understand what is right and wrong, moral duties and most importantly create his/her own argument.

I feel that with such a pace of human and technological evolution the purpose of the education seems to be lost, education now has become a tool to judge a human for comparison but after money, but unfortunately with such a pace it seems like it will overtake money as a tool for comparison in no time. I also have a big time argument with some people who say that if you’re intelligent and knowledgeable than there should be no problem for you to score marks. Does knowledge and intelligence means to score marks? What if a student committed a mistake in the paper, then realized and understood it but the cost he/she is paying is marks and which will define that he/she is not good/eligible and may miss an opportunity to get through a good institution and what if on the other hand a student who has no idea of what the subject/course is all about but still get marks through mugging up or whatever and gets into a good institution? How bogus this system could be?
Than we have all these people saying that, that the student who got into the institution won’t be able to survive as he/she just got marks by hook or by crook, screw it, but what about that student who realized and understood his mistake, well he/she is screwed up in a way. Marks was originally used and accepted because it was a driving factor for students to learn but now it seems that learning factor has just been gone, its only marks, marks and marks.

Life is all about making mistakes, and committing mistakes is a part of learning. Well if you don’t commit a mistake that’s good but if you do, that’s awesome because you just learnt something new which you did not knew.

I’m not advocating that education is bogus, well education is one of most or rather the most important thing in world but education not in terms of marks but education in terms learning. I writing this article and you reading this article is education as it is giving a better understanding and that’s precisely what education is. Take up top billionaires/successful people they all were educated but in form of learning but not in form of marks
