THE MEANING OF EDUCATION:
THERE HAS LONG BEEN A GENERAL MISCONCEPTION OF THE MEANING OF THE WORD "EDUCATE". THE DICTIONARY HAVE NOT AIDED IN THE ELIMINATION OF THIS MISUNDERSTANDING, BECAUSE IT HAD DEFINED IT AS AN ACT OF IMPARTING KNOWLEDGE.
THE WORD "EDUCATE" HAS ITS ROOTS IN THE LATIN WORD "educo" WHICH MEANS TO DEVELOP FROM WITHIN; TO EDUCE; TO DRAW OUT; TO GROW THROUGH THE LAW OF USE.
POWER GROWS OUT OF ORGANISED KNOWLEDGE, (that's why they say knowledge is power) BUT, MIND YOU IT GROWS OUT OF IT THROUGH APPLICATION AND USE.
A MAN MAY BECOME A WALKING ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF KNOWLEDGE WITHOUT POSSESSING ANY POWER OF VALUE.
THIS KNOWLEDGE BECOMES POWER ONLY TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS ORGANISED, CLASSIFIED AND PUT INTO ACTION.
EDUCATION IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE MEDIUM THROUGH WHICH THE RESIDUAL QUALITIES, THE INNER ABILITIES AND POTENTIALS IN A PERSON ARE EXPLOITED, EXPLORED AND ACTIVATED TO BETTER THE INDIVIDUAL AND THE SOCIETY AT LARGE.
IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE AN AVENUE OF IMPLANTS OF IDEAS AND PHILOSOPHICAL VIEMS OF OTHERS AS IT COULD DETERIORATE THE VERY INNATE IDEOLOGICAL PROSPECT OF THAT INDIVIDUAL.
Hmm!!
