According to the great African Leader, Nelson Mandela: "Education is the great engine of personal development. It is through education that the daughter of a peasant can become a doctor, that the son of a mine worker can become the Head of the Mine, that a child of a farm workers can become the President of a Nation. It is what we make out of what we have, not what we are given, that separates one person from another."
