Man has various qualities.

the improvement of the country.
Therefore, education plays a complementary role for
overall individual, social and national development.
It enables an individual to realize his highest self and
goal.
The society is never stationed.
It is progressive and dynamic.
The child lives in society.
It is the social environment where the personality of the child
can be developed.
The old traditions, customs are preserved and transmitted with
the situations, which are ever changing.
We should not think or believe in the blind beliefs, which are
hindrances towards our development.
Education helps to walk with the development of science and
technology.
