Is education the best way
to improve quality of life?
You've heard the story. Give someone a fish and they can eat for a day; teach them to fish and they can eat for a lifetime. I guess that depends upon whether they are lazy or not. Because now they will have to do the fishing where as before they just got the fish. Many people don't want the responsibility of making their own way. Society has taught us that if we just ask someone will give us a fish. This is the hurdle we have to overcome in education. How do we help those who don't want to learn. So many have been given a lot of fish and have come to expect it. They don't want to learn how to learn. I believe that education is the right way to improve the quality of life, but it requires effort and desire.
