Explanation

                                                                 EDUCATION IS THE BEST LEGACY

      Chairman Panel of Judges. Time-keeper, Co-debaters. Ladies and Gentlemen I am here to support the motion which states "Education is the best legacy a parent can give a child" Education which can be formal or informal is a process of teaching, training and leaving aimed at improving knowledge and skill development. Education is important in the life of a child and it is the best legacy a parent can give a child.

      A parent who wants his child to be independent in thoughts in future has to give the child education Education is a liberating force which can liberate the thinking process of an individual and makes him to be independent of other peoples thought. A child who has been educated will have his own independent ideas and thoughts which will make him relevant to his society.

      The main adequate way to prepare a child for the challenges and problems he may likely face in future is by giving him good education. Apart from being capable of developing an independent thought process, education gives him a meal ticket. An educated person will always remain relevant and employable to make use of the skills and knowledge he has acquired. Any parent who wants a better future for his child will not but give the child good education. Education will enable him to secure good jobs, occupy leadership positions in his society as education has always remain the only criterion for achieving greatness and for attaining leadership positions in his society.

      Furthermore. a parent who does not want his child to depend on his properties after his death will give education to his child. For the child to be able to manage whatever his parent will leave behind for him and to be able to build on it, he must acquire education Education will allow the child to be able to manage and even build on any inheritance left behind by his parent. A parent who amasses material wealth without given his child education would not have his wealth sustained after his death.

      Lastly, education gives a child great initiative and insight to a lot of things that will make him become great and successful in life. Illiteracy is usually a limiting factor while education broadens ones horizon and enlarges one's scope. Therefore, a parent who wants his child not to be limited will give him education so as to enable him to soar among his peers.

      I hope that i have been able to convince you, with my points that education is the best legacy a parent can give a child.
