"But , 'Man can not live by bread alone'. Man , after all , is also composed of intellect and soul. Therefore , education must aim to provide beyond the physical - food for the intellect and soul. That education which ignores man's intrinsic nature and neglects his intellect and reasoning power cannot be considered true education". H.I.M. Haile I Selassie I
