"Forged in Fire, Taught in Halls"
"In the crucible of struggles, wisdom is forged,
From situations' fiery coals, insight is born.
But in the sterile halls of education's might,
Knowledge is served, pre-digested, without a fight."

Do you mean that the poorest should not have a good education?
Education is a bit expensive to be a base for deprived population to make something out of it, is the way I feel.

Thank you, Sourajit.
Yes, hopefully we learn through our mistakes and our struggles.
But “sterile halls”? are we then to deny the weakest amongst us, (who struggling most, gain the least) the right to a good education?
That way, we end up with the curent situation in the UK whereby the “halls of might”, the corridors of Parliament, are populated with Eton - and similarly educated elites, whilst the children of the least affluent, who endure the most deprivation, are forced to attend schools which are literally, falling down around their ears!

We all should have education, however it should be free of cost, carefully formulated, to make it useful and not waste of time and money.
