Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children

only for the purpose of educating them; our purpose is to fit them for life.【C1】______we realize this fact, we will understand that it is very important to【C2】______a system of education which will really prepare children for life.

In many modern countries it has【C3】______been accepted that, by free education for all-whether rich or poor, clever or stupid-we can solve【C4】______of society and build a【C5】______nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not【C6】______: we find in such countries【C7】______people with university degrees than【C8】______jobs for them to do. Because of their degrees, they refuse to do what they think "low" work.

But we have only to think for a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated【C9】______is far more important than【C10】______we can live【C11】______education, but we【C12】______ if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the【C13】______away from our houses, we【C14】______terrible diseases in our towns.

In fact,【C15】______we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated【C16】______that each of us can do whatever job【C17】______him, and that we can realize that all jobs are【C18】______to society, and that it is very bad to be ashamed to do one's work, or to laugh at【C19】______. Only such a type of education can be【C20】______valuable to society.
