Krishnamurti portrays education as the tool created to help a person become happy. Yet, such a tool doesn't function as it is used by modern society inappropriately. The author encourages the reader to think whether education should have purely materialistic goals, such as earning one's living, or it needs to help the young person understand the whole life process. The author supports the second variant and provides deep and comprehensive reasoning for his views. He concludes that getting the education only building a career and fit into the traditional model of social roles does not bring happiness to a person.
