Quotes About Education

Education, Public "The single most important element in the maintenance of a democratic system."... "The better the citizenry as a whole are educated, the wider and more sensible public participation, debate and social mobility will be. Any serious rivalry from private education systems will siphon off lites and thus fatally weaken both the drive and the financing of the state system. That a private system may be able to offer to a limited number of students the finest education in the world is irrelevant. Highly sophisticated lites are the easiest and least original thing a society can produce. The most difficult and the most valuable is a well-educated populace."

- John Ralston Saul, Doubter's Companion: A Dictionary of Aggressive Common Sense, Penguin, 1995
