Thank you for the truth.
Education is about more than just books, more than just degrees, more than just jobs.
Cultivating individuals with such qualities is a plus in any society at any time. They will be needed in the future. Learning is important for its own sake, but applying it with appropriate ethics is germane to problem-solving as well as taking stands and making decisions. I note you are making an effort to expose students to leadership in different contexts. Sometimes people concern themselves with the leadership principles of the powerful in the business or political community without thinking about what power is used for or why they want power.
