It helps us build opinions and have points of view on things in life. John Dewey quoted “Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.” Education can overcome many evils of society and remove many age old taboos. This can change and revolutionize the world. South Africa’s former president, Nelson Mandela, uttered a famous line in a speech commemorating the launch of Mindset Network, a group working to improve education and health in South Africa – ““Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
