“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character—that is the goal of true education.”
— Martin Luther King Jr.

Simplified Meaning:
Education should help people learn how to really think deeply and carefully about things, not just remember facts. It should also teach them to question and understand why things are the way they are. This kind of thinking helps people make better decisions in life. Aside from being smart, people should also be good and kind. True education isn’t just about being clever; it's also about being a person of strong character. For example, someone might be really good at math or science but also needs to know how to be honest and treat others well. This balance of knowledge and goodness is what makes education truly valuable.
