What is education? Is it the portrayal of one’s academic prowess or? Some one’s ability to lead life successfully. In short, an answer that would satisfy all parties does not exist and should not exist. There should be no definition to education as it is the most vital life line of the human race, which separates us form all different organisms. One’s education never ends as we humans learn new things every day and this is what drives us forward. Now lets take a statistical look at condition of education all around the world:
