=We will share our ideas on why learning and education are important.=

Only the educated are free. **Epictetus** Education make a people easy to lead, but difficult to drive: easy to govern, but impossible to enslave. Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire. Tell me and I'll forget. Show me, and I may not remember. Involve me, and I'll understand. What we learn with pleasure we never forget. Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another. Instruction ends in the school-room, but education ends only with life. It is in fact a part of the function of education to help us escape, not from our own time -- for we are bound by that -- but from the intellectual and emotional limitations of our time. Whatever is good to know is difficult to learn. What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the human soul. What we have learned from other becomes our own reflection. If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and will never be. Practice is the best of all instructors. Education is the transmission of civilization. It is a greater work to educate a child, in the true and larger sense of the word, than to rule a state. Education is more than a luxury; it is a responsibility that society owes to itself. The fruit of liberal education is not learning, but the capacity and desire to learn, not knowledge, but power. The ultimate goal of the educational system is to shift to the individual the burden of pursuing his education. Intelligence plus character--that is the goal of true education. I am still learning. Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which which neither freedom nor justice can be maintained. Learning is like rowing upstream: not to advance is to drop back. Education should bring to light the ideal of the individual. Education should consist of a series of enchantments, each raising the individual to a higher level of awareness, understanding, and kinship with all living things. When asked how much educated men were superior to those uneducated, Aristotle answered, 'As much as the living are to the dead.' Upon the education of the people of this country, the fate of this country depends. Education is the best provision for old age.
