The vision of education can be expressed in the form of 3 general aims;
– To enable the child to live a full life as a child and to realise his or her potential as a unique individual
– To enable the child to develop as a social being through living and co-operating with others and so, contribute to the good of society
– To prepare the child for further education and life long learning.
