Essay / The Importance of Learning - 1045
Highly qualified teachers are needed to educate children and help them excel in their studies. Education involves attending a high school, technical school, college or university to gain valuable learning and knowledge about different subjects for use in the future. With a good education, one can get promotions in the workplace or become a professor in a prestigious college or university. With all the different types of technological advancements, education is necessary for both parents and students.

An important Supreme Court case revolved around education in the 1900s: Brown v. Board of Education (McBride, 2006). Blacks were allowed to attend the same schools as whites after this case was decided.
