Albert Einstein Quotes on Education

Albert Einstein Quotes on Education
The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.
Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school.
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.
Most teachers waste their time by asking questions which are intended to discover
what a pupil does not know, whereas the true art of questioning has for its purpose
to discover what the pupil knows or is capable of knowing.
Never regard your study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity
to learn to know the liberating influence of beauty in the realm
of the spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the
community to which your later work belongs.
Humiliation and mental oppression by ignorant and selfish teachers wreak
havoc in the youthful mind that can never be undone and often exert a
baleful influence in later life.
The aim (of education) must be the training of independently acting
and thinking individuals who, however, can see in the service to the
community their highest life achievement.
Teaching should be such that what is offered is
perceived as a valuable gift and not as a hard duty.
