Ignorance is not bliss its painful and embarrassing

The point is, education in its truest form, is the foundation of all human endeavors. It is the most noble of all the civilized elements of human consciousness. Education enables the humans to achieve their fullest mental and physical potential in both personal and social life. The ability of being educated is what distinguishes humans from animals. You can teach a cockatoo to repeat a bunch of vocabularies, but you cannot teach it to construct a space shuttle and go to the moon.

Abhijit Naskar

Instead of being like a circus where the trainer uses his stick to make animals do stunts to serve the interest of the audience, the system of education should be like an Orchestra where the conductor waves his stick to orchestrate the music already within the musicians’ heart in the most beautiful manner. The teacher should be like the conductor in the orchestra, not the trainer in the circus.

Abhijit Naskar

Raising awareness versus raising alarmthe public can't be better informed if the information isn't better.

T.K. Naliaka

This is not education my friend. It is a process of manufacturing computation devices that look like Homo sapiens, and thereby falsely labeled as Education.

Abhijit Naskar

Education enables the humans to achieve their fullest mental and physical potential in both personal and social life.

Abhijit Naskar

All systems of the society should serve the mind, instead of the mind serving the systems.

Abhijit Naskar

Mind is the Alpha – Mind is the Omega. There is nothing else in the pursuit of knowledge. And more importantly, there is nothing else in education. All systems of the society should serve the mind, instead of the mind serving the systems.

Abhijit Naskar

Education means nourishing the mind and make it develop in order to see beyond the limitations of current social perception - it means breaking the barriers of the rugged sociological system that impede in the progress of human civilization - it means trying out new things for the first time in human history and succeeding in a few while failing in some. And that is how a species grows to become more advanced.

Abhijit Naskar

Real education leads to the liberation of the mind.

Abhijit Naskar

For self-educated scientists and thinkers such as Charles Darwin, Srinivasa Ramanujan, Leonardo-da-Vinci, Michael Faraday, myself and many others, education is a relentless voyage of discovery. To us education is an everlasting quest for knowledge and wisdom.

Abhijit Naskar

If education were the same as information, the encyclopedias would be the greatest sages in the world.

Abhijit Naskar

The system that aims at educating our boys and girls in the same manner as in the circus where the trainer teaches the lion to sit on a stool, has not understood the true meaning of education itself. Instead of being like a circus where the trainer uses his stick to make animals do stunts to serve the interest of the audience, the system of education should be like an Orchestra where the conductor waves his stick to orchestrate the music already within the musicians’ heart in the most beautiful manner. The teacher should be like the conductor in the orchestra, not the trainer in the circus.

Abhijit Naskar

A healthy and ideal system of education would be where a teacher would patiently impart knowledge, instead of curriculum, upon the students, only after assessing their acceptability – where a student would acquire knowledge in order to learn, not to earn – where the parents would be willing to make necessary sacrifices in order to adorn their child with curiosity and thereafter nourish that curiosity, regardless of how absurdly impractical it becomes to the eyes of the society.

Abhijit Naskar

Acquiring knowledge is the most fruitful effort.

Eraldo Banovac

Now the common human perception about the purpose of academic institutions, is that, they are meant to put a stamp of approval on the students, so that later on the students can show off their stamp in order to make a living. The parents invest money to get the stamp, and the child uses that stamp to make more money. Where is the element of education in this whole process!

Abhijit Naskar

All knowledge is born in the mind, and circumstances make them manifest.

Abhijit Naskar

After all, what is education, if not the unparalleled means to transcend the self- imposed physical limits of the mind and the body.

Abhijit Naskar

All the calculus, quantum mechanics and languages in the world are worthless pieces of information, if they are not brought to the service of the society.

Abhijit Naskar

If we are to rise as real Sapiens, we must work towards spreading education among the masses.

Abhijit Naskar

The only service to be done for our downtrodden sisters and brother, is to give them education to develop their individuality. We must give them ideas, alongside cultivating their living conditions.

Abhijit Naskar

The methodical implementation of modern human faculties that allow us human beings to transcend the physical limits of biological evolution is Education. However, today, the term education has become somehow synonymous with economic benefits and due to the primeval craving for security, it has disgracefully lost its very core of transcendence into the unknown. Thus, the very evolutionary seeds that gave birth to the method known as education have gone almost extinct in the modern industrialized system of soulless competition and regurgitation. Hence emerged the reason for me to get to the root of its quite unofficially accepted problems, and to concoct the thought processes that would make necessary amendments to the perceptual errors of what I call the three major nodes of education system, which are the teachers, the students and the parents.

Abhijit Naskar

Education is not the amount of information that is pushed into the brain and causes havoc there, undigested all through a lifetime. Education must be a symposium of life-building, character- making and assimilation of ideas in the pursuit of building a more harmonious, peaceful and truly civilized world.

Abhijit Naskar

Knowledge can be acquired by education, reading, communicating and observing, but also simply by living.

Eraldo Banovac

Psychologically speaking, far from being worthless, a system is indeed necessary, for any kind of human endeavor. A structure aids in the mind’s endeavor of learning. But the moment the mind becomes dependent on the system and starts trusting the system more than the internal faculties of the mind, the very element of education fades away from the system.

Abhijit Naskar

WONDERLANDIt is a person's unquenchable thirst for wonderThat sets them on their initial quest for truth.The more doors you open, the smaller you become.The more places you see and the more people you meet,The greater your curiosity grows.The greater your curiosity, the more you will wander.The more you wander, the greater the wonder.The more you quench your thirst for wonder,The more you drink from the cup of life.The more you see and experience, the closer to truth you become.The more languages you learn, the more truths you can unravel.And the more countries you travel, the greater your understanding.And the greater your understanding, the less you see differences.And the more knowledge you gain, the wider your perspective,And the wider your perspective, the lesser your ignorance.Hence, the more wisdom you gain, the smaller you feel.And the smaller you feel, the greater you become.The more you see, the more you love --The more you love, the less walls you see.The more doors you are willing to open,The less close-minded you will be.The more open-minded you are,The more open your heart.And the more open your heart,The more you will be able to Send and receive --Truth and TRUEUnconditionalLOVE.

Suzy Kassem

Know who you are, know your mission and educate yourself in your mission field

Sunday Adelaja

A good education must expose knowledge gaps and increase the hunger for further inquiries.A good education is not complete.

Magnus Nwagu Amudi

Worldly ambition inhibits true learning. Ask me. I know. A young man in a hurry is nearly uneducable: He knows what he wants and where he’s headed; when it comes to looking back or entertaining heretical thoughts, he has neither the time nor the inclination. All that counts is that he is going somewhere. Only as ambition wanes does education become a possibility.

Andrew J. Bacevich

Ignorance is the root of many ills. Knowledge must be the fundamental ally of nations that aspire, despite all their tragedies and problems, to become truly emancipated, to build a better world.

Fidel Castro

Real education is never acquisition of knowledge but training of character.

Lailah Gifty Akita

A library is treasure chamber of knowledge.

Lailah Gifty Akita

A person is a scholar as long as he seeks knowledge. Once he thinks he knows, only then he becomes an ignorant.

Prophet Mohammed

What is essence of knowledge, if it does not change the way we act?

Lailah Gifty Akita

Whoever holds the keys to house of knowledge, must open the door, for those who search for light of knowledge to enter.

Lailah Gifty Akita

The key to knowledge is the kingdom of God.

Lailah Gifty Akita

It is better to be kind than to seek much knowledge.

Lailah Gifty Akita

Pedagogy is always about power, because it cannot be separated from how subjectives are formed, desires mobilized, how some experiences are legitimized and others are not, or how some knowledge is considered acceptable while other forms are excluded from the curriculum.

Henry A. Giroux

There is only One holy Knowledge, the excellent knowledge of God.

Lailah Gifty Akita

We awaken by asking the right questions.

Suzy Kassem

One act of a kind deed is better than thousand words of knowledge.

Lailah Gifty Akita

Laiah Gifty Akita

Knowledge perpetuates luck and luck perpetuates knowledge

Zakhaddin Khalidov

The only good knowledge is the knowledge of God.

Lailah Gifty Akita

Every penny NOT spent on investing in yourself (after basic needs of course) may be a wasted future opportunity from missing learns and connects.

Richie Norton

Knowledge is just a foundation. The whole point of a foundation is to build on it.

Marty Rubin

As the Promethean fire which banished Darkness, so Knowledge bears the Power and the Light.

Leanna Renee Hieber

I suppose it was a dream that lasted really about fifty years. By the time universal education had begun to work properly, say 1925, and the time the first teachers started to hold back information, say 1975. So a fifty-year dream.""I think what's happened is that because they themselves know less than their predecessors, innovators and leaders today have remade the world in their own image. Spellchecks. Search engines. They've remodeled the world so that ignorance is not really a disadvantage. And I should think that increasingly they'll carry on reshaping the world to accommodate a net loss of knowledge.

Sebastian Faulks

A farmer friend of mine told me recently about a busload of middle school children who came to his farm for a tour. The first two boys off the bus asked, "Where is the salsa tree?" They thought they could go pick salsa, like apples and peaches. Oh my. What do they put on SAT tests to measure this? Does anybody care? How little can a person know about food and still make educated decisions about it? Is this knowledge going to change before they enter the voting booth? Now that's a scary thought.

Joel Salatin

Farms and food production should be, I submit, at least as important as who pierced their navel in Hollywood this week. Please tell me I'm not the only one who believes this. Please. As a culture, we think we're well educated, but I'm not sure that what we've learned necessarily helps us survive.

Joel Salatin

The path of light is the quest for knowledge.

Lailah Gifty Akita

You can’t destroy knowledge. You can stamp it under and burn it up and forbid it to be, but somewhere it will survive.

Leigh Brackett

There is no knowing that does not begin with knowing God.

John Calvin

Since the earliest days of our youth, we have been conditioned to accept that the direction of the herd, and authority anywhere — is always right.

Suzy Kassem

If then a practical end must be assigned to a University course, I say it is that of training good members of society... It is the education which gives a man a clear, conscious view of their own opinions and judgements, a truth in developing them, an eloquence in expressing them, and a force in urging them. It teaches him to see things as they are, to go right to the point, to disentangle a skein of thought to detect what is sophistical and to discard what is irrelevant.

John Henry Newman

An educated man should know everything about something and something about everything

C.V. Wedgwood

Scoring well on tests is the sort of happy thing that gets the school district the greenbacks they crave. Understanding and appreciating the material are secondary.

Libba Bray

If it were customary to send little girls to school and teach them the same subjects as are taught to boys, they would learn just as fully and would understand the subtleties of all arts and sciences.

Christine de Pizan

What we want to see is the child in pursuit of the knowledge not the knowledge in pursuit of the child.

George Bernard Shaw

Only one who has learned much can fully appreciate his ignorance.

Louis L'Amour
