EDUCATION

What is education???????
Education is a progressive discovery of our ignorance.

Education in the largest sense is any act or experience that has a

formative effect on the mind, character or physical ability of an
individual. In its technical sense, education is the process by which
society deliberately transmits its accumulated knowledge, skills
and values from one generation to another.
“When it comes to the education of our children…failure is
not an option.”

President George W. Bush

August 1, 2001

“We are a nation of young people. Education will determine the

well being of our nation. Education is the key to progress. It
empowers the individuals. If we nurture our children through
right to education then India’s future is secured.”

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh
