Quality Education in Elementary Schools: A System of
Failure “The beautiful dress
does not reflect beauty, the beauty is, the beauty of knowledge and
morals.”--Hazrat Ali (R.A) Education is the most potent mechanism for the advancement of human beings. It enlarges, enriches and improves the individual's image of the future. A man without education is no more than an animal. Education is not to reform students or occupy them or to make them expert technicians. It is to unsettle their minds, widen their horizons, inflame their intellects, and teach them to think straight, if possible, according to Robert M. Hutchins. Philosophers have a phrase -- "enlightened self-interest" -- which they apply to those situations where choosing the less obvious or even slightly more painful course makes us much better off in the long run. There is perhaps no better example of "enlightened self-interest" in the world today than the education of children.………… |
