SOCIETY FOR EDUCTION DEVELOPMENT
Education beyond from conventional boundaries forms the very essence of all of our actions. What we do is what we known and learned, either through instructions or through observation and assimilation. When we are not making an effort to learn, our mind is always processing new information or trying to analyze the similarities as well as the tiny nuances within the context which makes the topic stand out or seem different. In various cases, mind holds the potential to learn more. However, it is us who stop ourselves from expanding the horizons of our knowledge with self-doubt or other socio-economic constraints.
While most feel that education is necessity, they tend to use it as a tool for reaching a specific target or personal mark after which there is no further need to seek greater education.
