In today’s world, education and knowledge are still used as a weapon, not only in dominating peoples, or in political and intelligence warfare between competing nations, but more dangerously in creating actual weapons, which also serve the purpose of dominance. To combat the state of utter chaos we find ourselves in these days—politically, socially, and economically—the only way out of this dark tunnel is education.
It is true that people basically need water, food, and shelter to survive, but without education, we do not rise above other creatures who share the planet with us; we become just another species of mammals. Education is not, and should ever be, a luxury; for human beings, it is a bare necessity. As such, it needs to be at the top of any nation’s priorities, especially in struggling developing countries such as ours.
