Educating a child is one of the highest return on investment. It is like nurturing a seed, and watching that seed bud, bloom and grow into a tree. An educated child perpetuates an educated generation. On the other hand, the cost of not providing education to a child could have disastrous consequences. Educating children is one of the prime ways of securing peace and harmony on the planet. These children will have the highest potential to grow up to be part of the contributing and high functioning society, and pass the baton to the next generation of educated children.
An uneducated child has the playing field rigged against her/him. They will not have the same opportunity to pursue success, happiness, and a life of dignity. Not educating a child is irresponsible, when we do have the means to do so.
