The Bible tells us that if you direct a child in the way he should go, he will not depart from it when he is old (Proverbs 22:6). The foundation of a good life must be laid in one’s childhood, and education is one of the most powerful tools for this foundation. It is only by imparting quality education that we can expect our children, the future citizens of this country and the world, to imbibe good values, moral standing and the right notions about life and the society in which they live.
Knowledge liberates us from darkness, while ignorance strangles us in the roots of evil and controversy. If we are to make the world a better place for our children, we should give them a gift they will always cherish — a sound, value-based education. For it is only through this that a child will be able to differentiate right from wrong and good from evil.
I request all parents to send their children to schools and allow them to complete their education. By doing this, they will not only secure the future of their own kids, but also the future of generations to come.
