"Education develops the intellect;
and the intellect distinguishes man from other creatures. It is education that
enables man to harness nature and utilize her resources for the well-being and
improvement of his life. The key for the betterment and completeness of modern
living is education. But, ' Man cannot live by bread alone '. Man, after all,
is also composed of intellect and soul. Therefore, education in general, and
higher education in particular, must aim to provide, beyond the physical, food
for the intellect and soul. That education which ignores man's intrinsic
nature, and neglects his intellect and reasoning power cannot be considered
true education."
Haile Selassie I
