We are incomplete without a good education because education makes us a right thinker and a correct decision maker. What education should impart and develop is not just knowledge but the character & culture that will make every child a good human being. This is highly significant in the context of global terrorism, which is surely a threat to humanity. Attitude of coexistence & peaceful living is the need of the hour and it is the education that gives the right opportunity to learn it. In today’s competitive world, education has become a necessity for human beings after food, clothes and shelter. It is able to provide solutions to all problems; it promotes good habits and awareness about corruption, terrorism, and other social issues among us. It makes us smart enough to learn how to live life and handle bad situations. But it is sad to say that our children are not equipped to face the tidings of life. Keeping this in mind we Franciscans have this year the theme “Courage to take lead……”. Let us be boosted with the words of great educationalist Late Dr. A P J. Abdul Kalam – “If you fail, never give up because F.A.I.L. means “First Attempt In Learning”. End is not the end, in fact E.N.D. means “Effort Never Dies”. If you get No as an answer, remember N.O. means “Next Opportunity”. So Let’s be positive.”
