In many discussions, we hear the famous sentence: “I am an educational human,” spoken as if it were an official title or an identification card that grants its holder the right to speak, judge, and guide. However, the truth is that education is not a position to be granted, nor a job to be posted on an office door, nor an authority for someone in power to lean on. Education is broader than assorted definitions, deeper than scattered titles, and more sublime than to be confined to a single profession.
Education is behavior, attitude, presence, and impact. A father practices education when he listens before he responds, a mother is educational when she embraces emotions before assessing behavior, a teacher is educational when he guides with compassion before a gradebook, a guardian is educational when they open the door to cooperation rather than accusation, a director is educational when they lead effectively before making decisions, an advisor is educational when they repair without demoralizing and correct without injuring, a guide is educational when they listen to concerns before giving advice, and an employee is educational when they respect people before transactions. An educational leader, "the one with authority and position," completes his educativeness only when he places his ethics higher than his chair, his decisions fairer than his authority, and his stances truer than his position; every responsible person with authority can be educational and use their power to protect, not to intimidate, to serve, not to show off, and to uplift, not to break people.
Education does not need a title but a person who knows how to be a role model, nor does it need debate but an ethical stance that matches what we teach our children. Education does not need showcasing but a partnership that respects education as a collective responsibility that starts at home and does not end at school.
When we describe someone as "educational," we do not describe their job but their way of dealing with life, and definitely their respect for others, their wisdom in situations, and their ability to refine their words before speaking, committed to not belittle, humiliate or raise their voice at those who need guidance. A true educational person is not measured by what they write in their CV, but by the impact they leave on people—an impact that reassures rather than frightens, builds rather than destroys, and enriches souls before adding to plans.
We all know that in an era where words, news, and images precede the pen, it’s not surprising to also see educational challenges from social media. Education is no longer confined to school but is a responsibility shared by everyone who interacts with a child, student, or even a colleague. We are before a generation that observes behavior more than it listens to words, and emulates what we do before what we say, highlighting the real value of education.
With these rapid changes, this generation needs someone to hold their hand rather than to point a finger at them, a role model that reassures them rather than a speech that confuses them, and an honest word that guides them amid a deluge of fleeting content. Then, the “Educational Human” here becomes the balance, the moral compass, and the voice of wisdom reminding us that education is not a reactionary act but a long construction process made with kindness, awareness, and truth.
Thus, certainly, the "Educational Human" is not just someone who has experience but the one who possesses wisdom, not someone who memorizes rules, but someone who applies them, not someone who wears an educational title, but someone who lives education as a lifestyle, presenting a model that an entire generation seeking a role model that reflects their dreams can emulate.
