Perhaps this may help.

"The words 'cultivate' and 'civilize' are almost synonymous to the word 
'educate'. That says it! Education is important as it teaches us the right 
behavior, the good manners thus making us civilized. It teaches us how to 
lead our lives. Education is the basis of culture and civilization. It is 
instrumental in the development of our values and virtues. Education 
cultivates us into mature individuals, individuals capable of planning for 
our futures and taking the right decisions. Education arms us with an 
insight to look at our lives and learn from every experience. The future of 
a nation is safe in the hands of educated individuals. Education is 
important for the economic growth of a nation. It fosters principles of 
equality and socialism. Education forms a support system for talents to 
excel in life. It is the backbone of society."
