THE fast-approaching millennium is significant in so many aspects. There is therefore no doubt that education is the most potent instrument of futuristic development. And since man remains the rallying factor of development, his most effective weapon in consummating this developmental process will always remain education. Education liberates the mind and sets it free to conjure elevated and refined heights of reasoning. It emancipates the psyche.

New perspectives and objective paradigms are refocused through the several benefits of education. Importantly, education also sharpens spiritual and divine perceptions. All over the world, education is being redefined in such manner that would empower and enable citizens serve as effective catalysts of development. Arising from their peculiar circumstances, countries of the world are daily initiating educational processes and procedures which would not only serve their unique socio-political and economic circumstances but also conform to fundamental universal standards of delivery. This is partly why basic education is currently receiving the attention that it rightly deserves.
