Education is key for the economic growth of a nation. “Generally [education] improves our knowledge of things, and increases our chances of finding a job later and being able to help out at home. School is important because if you go to primary school and pass, you can go to secondary school, and then from there get a job that will help you earn a living.” Credit: UNESCO/Karel Prinsloo/ARETE

  1. You know, it’s true…
    Even here in the United States. We have a government that says ban this, ban that, prevent people seeing this or that! That doesn’t work well and just promotes illegal activity. Educating people so that they can make the right choices when it comes to different subjects would make a lot more sense than the ban hammer.
