Education has gone a long way in making us who and what we are, but its goals and avenues need to be redefined. The goal of education has become the production of people able to earn a living, and be successful in life. The definition of success needs a redefinition. Education should be directed to the upliftment of the people who are not educated. Education needs to be defined in such a manner that it capable of bringing about a metamorphosis in  individuals in particular, and the society in general.

There is a huge difference between education and literacy. A large proportion of the public today is literate by virtue of the several avenues of learning open to the layman, but very few are able to comprehend the difference between education and literacy. Education brings with itself many things that are not visible to the eyes of the layman. It is a lot to do with culture and the process of acculturisation.

The ascent from a being literate to being educated is punctuated by several steps whereby the individual is exposed to realities that are at times not easily absorbed into the intellect. As a literate child becomes educated, he is made to actively partake in the process of development of his community, and to his own proper development. Education is what brings out the hidden potential of individuals that could have been latent and forgotten had it not been for education.
