As Nelson Mandela says, " education is the most powerfulweapon which you can use to change the world  "

Education is the key toeliminating gender inequality , to reducing poverty , to creating a sustainable planet, to preventing needless deaths and illness, and to fostering peace. And in a knowledge economy, education is the new currency by which nations maintain economic competitiveness and global prosperity.

Sorry to say but I don't believe that education is the most powerful 

Weapon to change the world. Now a days still more people lack of 

Education but some those people still survive their lives because 

They have gats and confidence to show up and stand out by their 

Own Personal character . Doesn't matter if people are educated or not, 

It's the  power of your mind.

We can change the world if we can use our education to realize that we are weak and imperfect by nature. And to understand there are a lot of human beings around us living without basic needs like water,food,dress and home to dwell. And we can use our education as a medium to understand human emotions and feelings which we do rarely. I think the education which does not motivate us to feed poors and give a hand to needy people can never change the world and is useless and a burden to this world. People are taught that education is for earning good jobs with high salary and to live a life for onself. I wish an education to come over which teaches the the both sides of a coin. Humanity and human relationship should be an important subject starting in kindergarten and ending in the grave.

Give education free to those in need. More importantly educate those that think they can oppress the 'other' in all societal spheres, i.e race, gender, etc.

Education is the conduit for "learning" and in it's truest form is a means of passing information. If we ensure that through our relevant education systems that our students are "informed" about the wrongs of bigotry, intolerance, ignorance, discrimination and all the other abhorrent things in society, they will surely want to help and eradicate them. "Knowledge dispels Fear", armed with this philosophy we should all have the courage to stand up to those who advocate all the things that are wrong in the world at the moment. Nelson Mandela's words make the point far better than a mere mortal like me can!

Education should be appropriately defined first. It is being found worthy in learning and character as usually pronounced at the convocation or graduation ceremony. Education combines knowledge, skill and integrity in human conduct. Being a professor is not necessarily being educated!  Being educated paints a picture of the egalitarian  man. Your conduct elicits the standards expected in human disposition to the rule of law, upholding societal values, respect and believe in justice, fairness, orderliness and the sanctity of human life. 

Education reflects abhorence of vices in all ramifications and a strong conviction on the futility of development arising therefrom. You cannot build on nothing

A society should be ranked on the basis of education as the indices of development in such societies point to equity, justice, fairness and knowledge driven policies.

Corruption will be primarily prevented and shown to be preventable, injustice will be detested and loathed, ethnicity, tribalism, selfishness, exploitation in the form of cheating  or short changing  will be collectively resisted in an educated society.

The fundamental focus of an educated community is healthy growth and development premised on concern and strong believe in the human capacity to organise  it's affairs without recourse to undermining the standards to egalitarianism.
