Education is the key to unlocking one’s full potential. Ideally, education should stimulate one’s thinking and create a sustained urge to venture into new worlds. This will make life a fascinating and meaningful journey. The life of scholars, scientists and philosophers attests to this hidden worth of education. For them, education has had a sublime purpose which can hardly be expressed in monetary terms or reduced to a few handy skills. But in today’s world, dictated predominantly by materialism, education has a price tag attached to it thanks to its commodification and commercialisation. As a matter of course, one can disregard the commercial value of education at the cost of joblessness and loss of social status.
