To increase the quality of life
Education is the single most powerful means to improve the quality of life, the single most powerful weapon against poverty and intolerance.
Education builds a culture of peace;it empowers human beings, both young and adult, to be effective in their chosen sphere of activity ... Education, in its essence, opens doors to both personal and social development."
