A man who cannot think is not an educated man however many college degrees he may have acquired.

If there is education, there will be everything in life. Government can make roads, hospitals and also construct school buildings. But your homes can brighten up only if your children are educated. I am confident that if we focus on education, our society will certainly develop.

The power of education extends beyond the development of skills we need for economic success. It can contribute to nation-building and reconciliation.

2/3 of our management associates come from our hourly ranks. We put in place academies to help people with education. We've put a dollar a day college program in to help people get college hours if they want to advance their degrees.
