The principal task of a learning institution is to equip individuals with the skills and competencies needed to function in a constantly changing world. This helps develop self-confidence and allows people to excel in areas like the workplace by helping them solve problems creatively. Learning institutions should offer education and training that meets individual interests and needs while also helping people develop character and life skills to deal with challenges. It is a shared responsibility between individuals, families, and society to ensure all have access to necessary education and training for personal development and integration into the community.
