THE IMPORTANCE OF
EDUCATION
Nobel prize winner ‘Nelson Mandela’ once said “Education
is the most powerful weapon which can change the world” sure there is
something to appreciate about education that’s why we spend most of the crucial
time of our life in school.
TO BECOME EDUCATED!
Dear
students,
As we step our foot for the first time in
school we all come here to become formally educated. The things we learn,
whether it is ABC or 123 or even a drawing class these are all the foundations
that help us become educated in worldly sense, which help us face and
understand the world.
Dear
students,
I should
tell you all the distinction between an ‘Educated’
and a ‘Literate’. One is called
Literate according to our constitution if someone can read and write any
language of our country, and one is called Educated:
If one knows
his or her fundamental rights,
If one knows
his/her duty towards his/her family, society and country.
If one have
a moral and social responsibility,
If one knows
his/her responsibility towards our environment.
And the
lists are endless.
Dear
students so there are some big difference between being a ‘Literate’ and an ‘Educated’
one.
When you all
step into this beautiful school “Siddhartha”
you all must know that you come here to become Educated.
In-fact active
and responsible citizens of this global world.
It was the
very seed of education that helped India free from 200 yrs of British rule,

Indian Constitution”
It was the
seed of education that helped Africa free from dirty discrimination of
Apartheid,
It was the
seed of education, that Ladakh had an honest Engineer like ‘Sonam Norboo’ who made such a big contribution for Ladakh.
Truly pen is
mightier than a sword, if we are educated in real sense.
Education is
the thing that dispels our Ignorance and opens our eyes to the world; Education
is the only resort on which we can climb to any heights.
It was only
due to education, that made poor kid from small village of Tamil Nadu could

“While educating the minds of our youth, we must not forget to
educate their hearts”
