The role of education
Education makes a man perfect, scholarly, philanthropic and modest. A blind man is deprived of the beautiful scenery around the world. There is no difference between day and night, light and darkness to his eyes. As such, a man deprived of education is really a blind man in the ocean of knowledge.
But do we ever think what kind of education makes a man scholarly? Is our present traditional educational system enough to meet these demands? Are we really satisfied with our existing educational system? How many scholars, scientists, writers are coming out from our educational system? How many good teachers do we have today? Why our students read but don't learn, memorise but don't understand?
Hence, there is really a great vacuum in our educational system. Today it is the duty of the people holding high positions to find out this vacuum and fill it up.
