Education introduces a person to the many varied customs and beliefs that exist in the world.
It creates a foundation for mutual understanding between different societies and, consequently, furthers the unity of humanity and promotes peace. Education enables a person to understand history so that the mistakes of the past, hopefully, will not be repeated. It allows one to avoid war by knowing the causes of war. It allows one to travel the road to peace by using knowledge and understanding to distinguish the road to peace from the road to war. It also enables humanity to perceive the causes of social problems and then to find solutions to those problems.
