People often form an unrealistic attitude towards schools and their influence on contemporary people. They imagine school to be a sort of paradise where people could remarkably improve their education levels, thus improving schools turns out to be most important factor in the successful development of a country. As far as I am concerned, much as one of the key elements that contribute to the success of a country is education, it is hasty to claim that it is the most significant element when other factors are taken into consideration.
First and for most, even people who are opposed to my viewpoint could not fail to notice that even country with a poor education system or schools could achieve tremendous success as well. The world is filled with such examples. For instance, South Korea, our neighbor country, has focused on the import of advanced technology since 1970 and has greatly changed the quality of people's lives. However, most of its elites receive education from notable universities either in American or in Britain due to the fact that the government pays much less attention on improving domestic education.
In addition, while we highlight the essential factor played by the schools, isn't it necessary for us to give some considerations to some more vital factors such as improving the living standard of the country? According to a recent statistics conducted by a group of experts from SJTU, the living condition of a country has become a main symbol of how much achievement has been completed by the country. Condition of the society is such that it is hard to imagine people would be satisfied to sacrifice the atmosphere with affluent living materials for the privilege of enjoying a great many famous universities. In fact, it is commonly believed that the higher a living standard people enjoy, the more success a country has achieved.
Of course, no one can deny that improving schools could serve as a supplemental role in accelerating the pace of a county towards its ultimate goal. This can give rise to beneficial consequence as it does in the case of our country. The sums of money invested in education in recent years is two times as much as the amount in 1990s and the changed schools is conducive to making our education levels go abreast with the advanced technology we have enjoyed.
From what have been talked above, now we can safely draw the conclusion that important though the improving schools is, it cannot compete to other factors such as improving people's living standard. Any country that is bind to point would not be able to make tremendous achievement in the world.
