Education Is Freedom
Knowledge is represented by light and ignorance by darkness.Hence education ,the key to all knowledge and yet more knowledge dispels the darkness and ushers in the light.Freedom too has always been associated with light whereas sevility, imprisonment have been relegated to the depths of darkness.Education is not equated with literacy and learning the three R's.Nor it is confined to the school and college system of collecting degrees.Education is a continous process of learning which broadens our mental horizons and with it our perspective.Education leads to the dissemination of knowledge to the breaking down of all mental barriers and of a greater realization of self-worth and a better understanding of fellow beings.
If a person is uneducated he cannot think for himself.He is forced to accept the dictates of others and thisĀ makes him servile as he lacks the ability to judge right from wrong.With education he is able to make this distinction to realize the reasons behind his forced servility and to stand upĀ and demand redressal.Education makes a person free from forced servility and makes him a free individual.
