Importance of education

April 15, 2013 04:34 pm | Updated 04:34 pm IST

Education is not all about studying and getting good marks. It is really a means to discover new things which we don't know about and increase our knowledge.

An educated person has the ability to differentiate between right and wrong or good and evil. It is the foremost responsibility of a society to educate its citizens.

Focus should be on women’s education because the knowledge and empowerment of one woman can bring about a change in a family and even the society as a whole. It is the uneducated and illiterate people who think women are not entitled to education.

A person becomes perfect with education as he is not only gaining something from it, but also contributing to the growth of a nation.

We must realise the importance of education. We must aim to ensure that each citizen of our nation is educated and independent.
