Gary Shoats is a big proponent of education, and believes that there is no development without education. He says that education empowers people and promotes greater participation. History is proof that educated people seek freedom from the prejudices and injustices of society. An illegitimate regime will not be able to withstand the power of a well-educated majority.  Education must be recognized as a basic human right, and only then will it form the basis for liberty and justice for all.
