There is a quote from Kofi Annan “Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family.”
Education is one of the most powerful tools for fighting poverty and inequality, as well as laying the foundations for solid economic growth. The more we understand the world we live in and the more information we get about other cultures and histories, the greater our chances of understanding points of view that might differ from our own ones.
