A society that does not give importance to education cannot progress. Let there be any Government, it must have a vision to make India shine in the field of education.

I have been struck again and again by how important measurement is to improving the human condition.

My father, at the Death of his father, was but six years of age; and he grew up literally without education.

There has to be a global mission of human progress.

Educating all of our children must be one of our most urgent priorities. We all know that education, more than anything else, improves our chances ofbuilding better lives.

Education doesn't change life much. It just lifts trouble to a higher plane of regard.
