Education and Humanity
Education is not just a means to secure employment. Education is not just merely having degrees, getting high marks, or simply being able to read and write. Of course these are parts of a process called education. Education is a process of self development, enhancement of ones abilities, building of ones character and more. Education is enrichment of ones faith and values, civic senses and humanitarian consciousness.
Therefore, education should be a means to develop enlighten educated personalities rather than degree holders.
Education is not just bookish knowledge, philosophies, and theories. Education should be action and community oriented. It should provide peaceful solutions to social and global challenges and bring reform to many of their ills. It should be a means to bring compassion and understanding, integrations and equalities, social justice and equal opportunities, reform and upliftment.
Therefore, education should be a means to serve others.
Therefore, education should be a model to bring about a kinder, gentler and better world.

Verses from the INSAN Tarana (Anthem)
Khush hon ge na hargiz hum bas apna bhala karke
Dunia ki bhalai mein hum jaan ladraen ge
(We'll not be satisfied by just helping ourselves
And strive to work for the humanity's good)
Kuch zaat ho kuch mazhab kuch taur tareeqe hon
mil jul kar magar rahna ham sab ko sikhaen ge
(Despite the differences of cast, culture or relegion
To reach across, and teach how to live with amity) |
