The importance of education in the life of an individual cannot be
overstated. It shapes individuals in their formative years and imbues
them with values that would govern all their choices in life. It is said
‘If you are planning for a year, sow rice; if you are planning for a
decade, plant trees; if you are planning for a lifetime, educate
people’. Indeed, one can even say that the quality of education will
determine the destiny of the nation.
For me, Education does not mean
providing answers. It means equipping the pupil with the means to find
the answers for himself and within himself. Education empowers
students to discover themselves – who they are as people. Within each
student is a doctor, an engineer, a teacher, a social activist, a
sports person, an environmentalist, a poet, an author or an
economist. The teachers support them in channelizing resources
vis-à-vis their dreams thus, sustainably generating civilized and
productive human capital for serving our motherland .
