Debasish Mridha M.D.True education expands your imagination. False education fills your mind with dogma and makes you a prisoner of conformity.
About This Quote
Education in our modern day society has become very selective. Schools are very selective in what they teach in an effort to fit students into a box. This is one reason why so many people are unhappy with the results of their education. They don’t fit into the box, so they end up not getting what they need to succeed in life.
Today’s education is not only about the subject, but about what you think about the subject. This is what expands your imagination. Western education is supposed to teach you how to succeed in the modern world, but instead it teaches conformity strictly through social hierarchy.
It is for this reason that I believe that most people do not get what they need out of their education.
