True Aim of Education
Education is enlightment.It is the one that lends dignity to a man.Education seeks to build up the personality of the people by assisting his physical,moral and emotional development.
National or individual freedom,liberty and dignity of person,which are the most cherished values of the free society governed by the rule of law,would sound as empty words for those who are illiterate and ignorant about them.
Education means knowledge which leads to liberation from ignorance.The fundamental purpose of education is to transfigure the human personality into a pattern of perfection through a systematic process of the development of body,the enrichment of mind,the sublimation of emotion and the illimination of spirit.
The knowledge and the awareness of human rights is equally important in every situation be it peace of war.Human rights education evolves more than providing information to students.It is a comprehensive life long process by which people at all levels of development and in all strata of society learns respect the dignity of others and means and methods of ensuring that respect in all societies.
In most exquisite words have our ancient seer's sung of the glory of ' education'
