•What about Manifesto as a form of writing?

• Manifesto is a document publicly declaring the position or program


of its issuer. A manifesto advances a set of ideas, opinions, or views,
but it can also lay out a plan of action. While it can address any topic,
it most often concerns art, literature, or politics. Manifestos are
generally written in the name of a group sharing a common
perspective, ideology, or purpose rather than in the name of a single
individual.

Countless words are written daily about the importance of education. Indubitably, education is the only
valuable asset humans can achieve. Human evolution over eons is a result of education both formal and
informal. Further, education is the sole basis on which future of the human race depends.
Our quest for knowledge is unending and will continue till planet Earth exists.
Everyone speaks about education and its importance. Hence, let us understand what defines education.
Briefly, education means acquiring knowledge.
In broader terms, education means acquiring various skills in diverse fields that are vital to our life and very
existence. These skills can be acquired by classroom training and during course of our life.
Classroom education is generally deemed as formal education. Whatever we learn and imbibe during our
lifespan is informal education.

creatures that inhabit this planet.
