I believe everybody should have a good start in life. Having a good education is a great path to success and schools tend to provide us with that.

But before hitting the nail on the head, I would like to give the definition of a school and it’s importance in our lives. ‘A school is an educational institution designed to provide learning spaces and learning environments for the teaching of students under the direction of teachers. Schools help us with the education that provides stability in our lives and also shows us the importance of hard work, and at the same time helps us to grow and develop. For school actually means ‘sincerity, capability, honesty, orderliness and learning’.

Firstly, the school I want to learn in is a school that will promote the talent of people for financial success. I want a school that not only focuses on academic achievements but also promotes the talents of people who will help both the person, the society, and the world at large, so that they can be self-employed even if they are without jobs.

Secondly, I want a school that will eliminate all discrimination and bullying. Discrimination occurs when a person treats members of a certain class unfairly because of their membership in those groups. This discrimination, when it occurs in a school, can cause students to have negative attitudes about school, and have lower academic motivation and performance. It can also lead to dropping out of high school. In the case of bullying, it can cause the student to be traumatised. He/she will lack self-esteem. It can result in depression, lower academic achievements and even suicide.

Thirdly, I want a school that has good and qualified teachers. If a school has qualified teachers, student performance will be outstanding. Teachers are the back bone of our nation, fostering creativity and building skillful individuals. A good teacher in a classroom is one of the most important resources you can provide for us students.

In addition, I want to learn in a school that moulds peaceful and just people for the future. Why is peace necessary to live in a just and free society? Just and inclusive societies are necessary to achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs). People everywhere need to be free of fear from all forms of violence and feel safe as they go about their lives, regardless of ethnicity, faith or sexual orientation.

Furthermore, I would like to learn in an institution that is able to promote good health and wellbeing. Health problems seem to arise out of nowhere these days. Health is more important than wealth. You can buy things, but with fragile health, days are no longer sunny. A school that can promote and protect my health, and the health of those around me, can help us make well informed choices, and enlighten us on practising personal and environmental hygiene, and vaccinating us, so that we can be free from sickness.

In conclusion, in today’s world, with the hustle and bustle of city life, schools will be wonderful places to learn and grow if the qualities mentioned above are put into practice. Our journey through education is enriched by blending in play, fun and nature.
