Education is for life

A report from the Washington-based Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching found that, among other things, educated people tend to be more open-minded, more rational and less authoritarian.

The report also confirmed that school attendance decreases prejudice and enhances knowledge of world affairs.

Another study found that the educated even had more hobbies, more leisure activities and spent more time with their children, which, in turn, resulted in improved quality of life for succeeding generations.

Education is for life and not for a mere living.
