According to Bacon, ”Reading makes a full man; writing an exact man and conference a ready man: And reading, writing and conference make together an educated man”. In other words we can say that education makes anyone complete, accurate and worldly wise. So we can confidently say that education is necessary for the all-round development of the personality of a human being. He cannot hope for success, name, fame and prosperity in life without it. Even a nation would be devoid of any progress, if its citizens fail to have the benefits of education. H. L. Way Land has correctly said, “Universal suffrage, without universal education, would be a curse”.
An educated man will never find himself stranded in the midst of any difficulty. Education equips him with knowledge and skill which would enable him to make a good living, culminating in his being an ideal citizen. Thus it can be boldly claimed that education has awakened the mass all over the world.
