FEW would disagree that education will always be a potent force to escape the scourge of poverty. This has been proven time and again.

I have personally experienced it myself. I am sure many others have, too. I still remember the days when my family had to struggle to put decent food on the table. Neither of my parents were fully educated, neither went to school. My father eked out a very uncertain income as a barber in a small village in Kelantan.
