“Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance”. – Will Durant

Education is not just about the subjects that are learnt and taught in school. Being educated is not restricted to be in school and then in college, gathering certificates and feeling proud of oneself. It is a lifelong exercise. Education is not restricted to lessons taught in the classroom from textbooks. Parents and teacher must encourage their children to put up questions as many as they can.

The thirst for knowledge is not restricted to the child. It is also essential for the parents and the teachers to keep adding to their own knowledge bank by keeping their eyes and ears open and by reading as much as possible and ensuring that children develop these habits as well. Besides all of the above that add to the children in becoming truly educated, school and teachers must ensure that children have a society of enriching experiences. Creativity and imagination helps children to become productive adults who then arrive as the citizens of the world, ready to make their own great contribution to the mankind.

My message to the Principal, Staff, Students and esteem parents of MDPS is to dedicate this year to a correct understanding of what education truly means and equip the children with the knowledge, skills and motivation to pursue their passions and achieve their potentials.
