Introduction

A Chinese proverb says - "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." This proverb clearly depicts how education is extremely important in providing individual freedom, self-reliance and self-empowerment. It sows the seeds for a society which is aware of what is happening around it and where every individual benefits from the gains that the societal development offers. Social prosperity, political stability, strong economy, and equality among all the people are other positive outcomes of education.

It is because of this background that education is considered as a basic fundamental right in many countries around the world, and considered essential so that a person can use it as means to ensure all other rights - fundamental rights given to him/her by his country or human rights that he/she has.

The most formative years in a person's life are his childhood years (from age 4-5 to 15-16).
