What is really needed to make democracy function is not knowledge of facts, but right education.

Without education, your children can never really meet the challenges they will face. So it's very important to give children education and explain that they should play a role for their country.

No child in Africa, and in fact anywhere in the world, should be denied education.

Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education.

Freedom of conscience, of education, of speech, of assembly are among the very fundamentals of democracy and all of them would be nullified should freedom of the press ever be successfully challenged.

The greatest investment a young person can make is in their own education, in their own mind. Because money comes and goes. Relationships come and go. But what you learn once stays with you forever.
