The real education of the masses can never be separated from their independent political, and especially revolutionary, struggle. Only struggle educates the exploited class. Only struggle discloses to it the magnitude of its own power, widens its horizon, enhances its abilities, clarifies its mind, forges its will.

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

No group and no government can properly prescribe precisely what should constitute the body of knowledge with which true education is concerned.

The quality of education today decides the tomorrow of Gujarat... Government may build schools, but the future can be built by the schools only. The key responsibility of building Gujarat's tomorrow thus lies with the schools.

If you look at the people who have high impact, they have pretty general knowledge. They don't have a really narrowly focused education.

Upon the subject of education, not presuming to dictate any plan or system respecting it, I can only say that I view it as the most important subject which we as a people can be engaged in.
