Thought of the Day

"Education is teaching our children to desire the right things." - Plato

Meaning of Thought:

The ancient Greek philosopher Plato contends that genuine learning is primarily about the formation of character rather than simple learning of facts or skills. An ideal education must not only fill a student with information but also improve their ethical systems and emotional intelligence. 

In teaching them to appreciate the virtues of truth, justice, integrity, and wisdom over mere accomplishments, education shapes the students' motivation and forces them to become responsible, thinking, and helpful members of society.
