How important is education?

You see this person, who never gone to school, but a hard-working person and mostly he works 12–14 hours a day to get some extra money. He is my brother-in-law (My sister’s husband), and he has been working as a daily laborer since he was 15 years of age and now he is around 60 years. He had never seen a restaurant or rode a bike forget about movies. During Covid times, he walked and cycled around 300 KMs and luckily got a truck that gave a lift.

Picture: My gallery, when he was returning to the village during covid times

He never enjoyed his life, just worked like an animal I can say, even he didn’t attend his daughter's marriage to save money as he was working in other states. I wonder, is he born just to work.

However, he understood the importance of education so he educated his daughter (my niece) and now she is working in the govt. the sector only the girl from the village to do so.

I feel bad for him, but he is happy as his children don’t suffer the way he is.

Education is definitely important, and an uneducated can understand better than others.

Edit

I put his picture because I feel proud of him, he has not committed any crime or harm anyone, he is a hero for his family, the whole post was, if he has bit education he could lead a better life thats all.
