Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for
the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life

all- whether rich or poor, clever or stupid – one can solve all the problem of society and built a perfect
nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a large
number of people with university degree; they refuse to do what they think “low” work; and , in fact, work
with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to
understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor;

in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to our brains and ability and ,secondly,
that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to ashamed of one’s work. Only
such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.
