Learning is one of the most important things we do in life. It starts pretty much when we’re born. In fact, many say learning begins earlier. We listen to the outside sounds. Our ears get used to the different patterns of intonation. This is when we first start learning a language. Learning is a lifelong process. We spend our childhood years doing nothing but learning.

Hands-on learning and community involvement often allow young minds to expand their horizons and explore topics that are not offered in school. Moreover, such activities allow students to apply classroom education in the outside world.
In history we have some many examples of people who have proved that school education isn’t compulsory to achieve greatness. Taking our own Akbar for example, at a mere age of thirteen, when he
