RE: Role of education to quell extremism
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
There is a clear difference between literacy and educated.
Education encompasses the total formation of the complete individual, while literacy is just knowing how to read and write and understanding your field of course.
Being literate is a part of education, but being educated includes literacy and other person-formations. You can be educated and not be literate and you can be literate and not be educated.
Education without literacy is in a way incomplete, while literacy without education is disaster. It could even rob one of literacy.
That's why you can see a learned man kill the order man, steal and oppress, and feels that he is more classy than the other person. Lack of education makes a literate and illiterate, when at the extreme.
Exactly we need to understand that increasing literacy rate will not bring betterment yo our society. We need to shape brilliant minds through education and it is only possible if we adopt education with its real essence by not neglecting the changing contours of education as well.
I really lovedthe way you said that education is incomplete without literacy whike literacy os disaster without education
