He also says it is through education that a peasant's child can become a doctor, engineer, and so on.
It is, therefore, important for us to encourage our youth to take their education seriously.

I think it is time we introduce practical subjects and skills that will give scholars the opportunity to be able to start their own businesses and also to become employable.
The current education system at public schools robs scholars of the opportunity to gain skills that are important in a developing country like ours.
