The goal of education is not just to learn a little about a lot but also a lot about a little. - Benjamin Franklin
When asked how much educated men were superior to those uneducated, Aristotle answered “As much as the living are to the dead” (Diogenes Laertius). Needless to emphasise any further on the importance of education. The objective of education is to improve the quality of life, develop the capability to do new things, to expand intellect, to strengthen the mind and the thought process, to form a character worthy of emulation, and finally to become a useful member of the society. An educational institution irrespective of its level is expected to pursue these objectives and the products of such learning place would make the society proud.
