Education As High-Return Investment For Future Society

By Zetty Rania

For the last few years, when we face pandemic globally, many sectors have been negatively affected including the education of our young generation. With the deficiency of certain educational systems, The Good Society strives to give our best, seeking opportunities even in the darkest of times. 

We face loads of challenges trying to make good on the unfulfilled promise to ensure the right to quality education for everyone and in the process, utterly realizing the transformational potential of education as a route for sustainable society. To do this, we need a new code of conduct for education that can repair injustices while evolving through the sign of the times. This new code of conduct must encompass an ethic of care, reciprocity, and solidarity, accompanied by the teachings of Islam. 

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world” – Nelson Mandela. 

Education is the first step for people to gain the knowledge, critical thinking, empowerment and skills they need to make this world a better place. Knowledge is crucial in whatever you do. 

In order to make changes, in order to make things happen, one must have sufficient knowledge about it, or else, things could get worse. As the saying goes, “ a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.” 

We, the Education Division, the ‘backbone’ of The Good Society, hereby ready to be of service to the members in helping them to empower themselves. 

This year, we advance with a programme named School of Marvel, where we aid the participants through 4 different phases which are Individual Development, Community Enhancement, Nation Building and lastly, Global Realization. We encourage social situations where people come to know things better, and together we create a learning generation. It will not be easy to achieve but it can be done. 

Our dreams are big, but we believe your enthusiasm to become better is bigger, and we are here to guide you through the journey of your own empowerment.

Education is the most empowering force in the world. It creates knowledge, builds confidence, and breaks down barriers to countless opportunities. Be educated and educate others (of righteous knowledge) and you will find triumph in living with insight. Soar high, comrades!
