Her remarks were remarkably appropriate. Education is obviously about what goes on in schools but it’s also about a lifetime’s journey of personal development. As adults it’s just as important that we learn new things that will help us live happy, prosperous, healthy lives. Education isn’t just for kids, it’s for everyone.
