Purpose of education

Letter April 08, 2012
I have seen many others around me doing well academically but lacking moral values.

KARACHI: When we talk about education, most people think that it is just about getting a degree so that one can get a job and support a family. However, education is much more than that. It is about being able to distinguish between right and wrong and acting upon it; and being wise, dignified and truthful. As a student, I have seen many others around me doing well academically but lacking moral values. They cheat make friends for personal gain and even threaten a teacher just to get good grades.
