Education today is facing a challenge in a changing, dynamic world. Education is not only one of the foundation stones of a national life, but also one of the greatest instruments of social change. Education, therefore, is a crucial factor in the development of a country. As a matter of fact, the prosperity, mental development and behavior of people are determined by their education. Obviously, education at its best is a dynamic process involving individuals and groups reflecting upon their lives and the society in which they live. This means education is a living process, which must be refined by the understanding of those involved and by the changing demands of the present.

For the development of basic skills and knowledge, instruction should be changed. The new generation is curiously interested in schooling because they realize that anyone with more education tends to earn more than others.
