Educational Quotes

-
As a person who values education, I have collected 10 inspiring quotes about education to encourage myself and for my readers as well. Interestingly, the authors of these quotes are very diverse. Through education, we can reset minds, combat terrorism and violence, improve economies and make lasting changes. Studying the universe is one way we can thank God for He has not created it without a purpose. I believe that the purpose of education is not to make money but to solve problems. I hope every child would acquire an education that would prepare them for adult life.

Since UNHCR could not meet all fundings required to maintain the school, due to the increase of global refugees; students are required to pay Ksh. 3 000 which is around $30 per year. This amount is too much for refugee students and is one of the reasons for high drop-outs in the refugee camp. In 2015, thousands of students protested.  This came after World Refugee Crises in the middle east, which led to an abrupt reduction in services provided in the refugee camp. Educational services, which is highly valued for its connection with personal development and long term self-reliance was one of the sectors seriously affected. However, ksh 3000 a year is not still enough to maintain the school facilities such as the library, laboratory and payment of teachers to mention a few; therefore, there are individual and organisational donors such as Windle Trus...
