Education empowers people with the knowledge, skills and values they need to build a better world. ... The belief that quality education can help reduce poverty and inequality comes from a recognition that education is a basic human right—similar to food and shelter—and that it is vital to protecting human dignity.
Education gives one the knowledge that will be essential for their life in the future. With the knowledge they can build a better world, and essentially, get a good job and have a better life.
Without knowledge, one could make careless mistakes, and errors that will even be vital to their life. One small mistake could change the whole world for someone, as quoted by Benjamin Franklin: "It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, but only one to lose it."
Education helped people understand, and to see the world in a way they might not have. People are sometimes blinded by emotions, and education can help see through that.
Education, overall, is good for a person.
