Education
Education provides people with the tools and knowledge they need to understand and participate in today’s world. It helps to sustain the human values that contribute to individual and collective well-being. It is the basis for lifelong learning. It inspires confidence and provides the skills needed to participate in public debate
Education makes it possible for people to be responsible and informed citizens, and to have a voice in politics and society, which is essential for sustaining democracy. It also provides people with the knowledge and awareness needed to promote tolerance and understanding among people.
The foundation of this approach is that we don’t really know what is actually going on except in fragments. This is true of everything in our lives; our world, our relationships, and our own minds. We feel and sometimes think we know, but our minds have evolved exquisite methods of generating a myriad of unconscious assumptions that fool us into believing we have a true and correct knowledge of our world, our relationships, and our own minds when the truth is we don’t. If we assume that our knowledge is mostly an illusion, then we have to have a practice of disillusionment to figure out what is really going on. It has been established that education is to provide training and informative education especially to young children… In general, elementary education consists of six to seven years of schooling.
