Education and literacy

Education and literacy are the cornerstones of personal and societal development. They empower individuals to acquire knowledge, critical thinking skills, and the ability to communicate effectively. Literacy not only opens doors to opportunities but also fosters informed citizenship, enabling people to engage actively in shaping a brighter future for themselves and their communities. Literacy the ability to read and write , is often educated  with "education" ,but it is not the same.Literacy is a step to education.Education  is a complete development of a person in terms of knowledge, sensitivity and most important, behaviour in different situations . Literacy can be forgotten but  education cannot.Instruction ends in the school term,but education ends only with life.
