Education draws out the best in man — body, mind and soul. It plays a vital role in shaping the child into an ideal human being. Apart from its popular objectives, education is the key to eliminate gender inequality, to reduce poverty, to create a sustainable planet, to prevent needless casualties and illness, and to foster peace in a broader social perspective. As output is commensurate withinput, the best can be drawn out from child only if he or she receives the best from society. The main purpose of education should be to prepare and qualify individuals for work in economy as well as to integrate people into society and teach them values and morals of society. A child doesn't need education only to gain knowledge and pass an examination. Today, technology has come to the service of the child in various ways to derive knowledge. Hence good education is one which makes a student better, by boosting the child's creativity, helping them enjoy studying and imparting values. KV SAP Peroorkada envisions to impart quality education to contribute to the nation building exercise by fine-shaping responsible, intellectually and emotionally matured, harmoniously co-existing social beings. After all education is the only tool to build a better nation and a better world. As Nelson Mandela says, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."
