Thought of the day

"Education is not the filling of a vessel, but the kindling of a flame."  -Socrates

Meaning of Thought 

Education is not just about learning by heart or digesting information as part of a mass. A true education involves bringing about critical thinking and curiosity rather than treating a learner’s mind as a vessel which is to be filled with information.

When a person is taught to learn in a person-centered manner, they not only develop a desire to learn things. They also have the chance to analyze complex problems and understand things critically.
