Gautam Buddha, the greatest mind engineer of the world ever born, has taught the world that mere learning is of no avail without actual practice and that the learned man who does not practice is like a colorful flower without scent.
This teaching deserves a great deal of attention in the current world where materialism aggravated by money-mongering culture growing through de-humanization process has stultified human minds.
This Buddhist principle is very scientific and practical. Following this principle knowingly or unknowingly, modern educational institutions stress on practical skills as well.
However, well-facilitated education has become beyond reach for the majority of masses, stricken by poverty. To provide well-facilitated education to all human beings, governments must resolutely implement the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that definitely includes education as a basic human right. Nations must honestly work towards implementing the educational-for-all concept. This is really challenging because education has become today more a commercial item to purchase.
